| Conan came into my life May of last year and he was from the now defunct
Furkids rescue, and his foster mommy was coming out here for a Physician's
Assistant's conference, so she brought him out to me. I am still in touch
with her and she is happy that a diabetic owner has him and can care for
him. Little growl factory is a vocal doggedie who loves belly rubs and
scritches on his ears. Her is far more at ease now here and when we come home, his whole butt wags with the tail. He is very food motivated, and goes nuts when he sees the syringe come out. He ois a tad arthritic and has a stiffness in his neck, so I'll sit with him in my lap and massage him for a bit. He will sit there and half growl "MMMMM....MMMMMMMM" while he's getting his rubdown. Despite sounding like a barbarian when growling, he can put on the most heart wrenching whimpers if he feels I am not sharing the jerky sticks fast enough. He has since acquired the nickname of Con-Man. He was diagnosed IDDM in December of 1999. He is almost nine years old, has some cataracts, and yet will tell the other doggers around here where to park it if they get too loud and vociferous with mommy! He has barreled into Toby and attacks the vacuum cleaner while I am sweeping the rugs. Picture a black ball of fur jumping onto a Fantom Fury! It is hilarious! He is on Lantus now, as it seemed his fructosamines were far better
on it than NPH.
