Doggy quote of the month for March

“In times of joy, all of us wished we possessed a tail we could wag.”

– W.H. Auden, poet

Wiggles gets his wiggle on

Wiggles, an aging Boxer, is a new admission to Best Friends Animal Sanctuary.  We didn’t know why he was surrendered, but we noticed during our assessment that he had signs of arthritis including some lameness in his left foreleg.  Wiggles would also benefit from weight loss.

Our job was to do some initial training with Wiggles, who proved to be a clever (as well as cute) boy.  I particularly found his under bite adorable.
