Meet Zoe, Foxey & Halston

Zoe, Foxey and Halston sitting on their favorite futon, watching the world go by.  Zoe, the black GSD rescue from the Carrollton shelter is very loyal and always has her eye on one of us, making sure we are OK.  Foxey, the smallest Norwegian Elkhound mix came from the Irving shelter. When he came into the house for the first time, he was very confused and hesitated to come in, but now is the happiest of the three and very loving.  Halston is our "designer dog".  He came to our household from the Irving shelter and was named "Halston" for his designer looks by a rescue worker. The name stuck, and he is just gentle, loving, and sweet.  Their coats are very soft, and thanks to Dr. Ballard - their teeth are clean.  Ask her for advice on your dog's teeth cleaning also.
 

There was a "doggie" marathon in Arlington in 2009.  All the dogs participated and finished, but were pooped when done.  They earned their bandanas.
 

 

Zoe is very loyal and always walks alongside her "daddy" when we go out walking. This was taken at the Plano Dog Park one early morning -- Heaven for all of them.

 

Zoe, Foxey, and Halston are all patients and we have just moved to Houston, so we MISS Dr. Ballard tremendously.

Meet Rhett

Rhett is a 17 month-old healthy patient at Alternative Vet Hospital.  He is entered into the Greenies Healthy Smile contest, and it would be so awesome if Trisha or someone at the clinic could vote for him.  Rhett is a smart boy.  For this contest, he learned (in a few minutes of taking his picture) how to smile on cue.  Now we just ask him to smile and he does.

 

While he is high energy at the dog park, he is generally a very laid back dog at the house.  As a puppy, he caught two rabbits and a squirrel, and let them go each time.  He loves other dogs, large and small, loves people and really wants to get to know cats better.  We have 3 he lives with, who are gradually letting their guard down.  We love that in addition to being naturally a great guard dog, Rhett is 95 lbs of love and sweetness and is a wonderful family member, even if he does tend to take over the whole bed.
