King
King is doing well and his eye is improving each day. The redness has subsided and the bluish hue is fading some. Thank you for all of your prayers and positive energy - we just may be able to save the eye!
His cough is still present but not as bad as before. I feel comfortable letting him out of the crate to roam with the girls. They are so cute - they walk in groups throughout the house. I call it the Puppy Parade.
King has learned how to use the dog door and is coming in and out on his own - so pleased to know he really is housebroken. He is relatively quiet and getting used to the sounds of our home. From time to time he'll bark but stops when I ask him to. I just wish my dear Sandy would learn to stop barking!
Here are pictures from last night...

King
Hello friends,
I'd like to introduce you to King. King is my new foster and will be staying with me until he finds a furever home. He's a sweet male Pom / Peke mix that is approximately 3 years old. He made his way to my home through a sad series of events.
Somewhere in his life he became a stray and living on the streets has given him an appearance of a much older dog. He is underweight, instinctively hides food (buries it under his pillow in the crate) and is somewhat timid. Around May 25th he was struck by a car; lucky for him the incident was witnessed by a wonderful rescuer, Sarah, who also volunteers at the Fort Worth Animal Shelter. She took him in and they began caring for him but due to his injuries they would only release to a rescue. Sarah and I corresponded A LOT trying to find a rescue for him and in the end, she pulled him (she has a 501C rescue group named Forgotten Tails) and is allowing me to foster him. She is his guardian angel I believe.
So King's eye was injured during the accident and sadly he hasn't any sight in it. I fear it will need to be removed. He's adjusting though and starting to get better at not walking into things like the wall. Poor baby. Lastly, this little angel developed kennel cough while in the shelter. Not uncommon but what a challenge to fight. He's been coughing non-stop for a week and I can't seem to sleep more than a foot away from him each night. Scratching his chest seems to relax him and ease the cough.
Are you curious of how he's named King? Well....the day I picked him up a friend and I turned around after he sneezed. For a moment the fur on his head was standing straight up (combination of the AC and the sneeze). We looked at each other and immediately knew...he fur looks like Don King's hair. LOLOLOL
As soon as I can get the cough resolved this little man is getting neutered and posted for adoption with Pekes and You Pekingese Rescue. I am smitten with him and just know that whatever home he chooses will be better off for having him. Please keep him in your Peke prayers!
Once he's feeling well enough for a professional grooming (rather than my pathetic attempt with scissors) I'll post new photos.
