DuPont is a 3yo Vizsla/Lab mix who made his way into rescue from somewhere in the south. His story is now a year in the making and this page is dedicated to making sure that Pont's next home is his forever home.
DuPont has a ton of fabulous qualities, but he's not for the weak minded or the faint of heart. If you are considering bringing DuPont into your life, I encourage you to read this blog in it's entirety and make sure that you are prepared for a dog like him.

The photos you see here of DuPont being relaxed and happy and fun are the result of hard work and structure. EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. You do not have to run him 5K every day, but you do have to put him to work and ask things of him on a daily basis.
The result? A calm and happy household.

Helpin Me Out

When I picked DuPont up after returning from my honeymoon a couple of weeks ago, the rescue peeps pointed out a bump behind his ear that had developed recently.  I was asked to keep an eye on it.  Over the next week and a half, it got subtly larger and he was scratching at it more and making it bleed. 

A vet appt was made for the 26th and the bump was diagnosed as a histiocytoma, also known as a skin tumor.  It's a benign thing, and we were instructed to treat it for a month and either it would go away on it's own, or it would need to eventually be removed.

So, keep your paws crossed that it will go away by itself, as I'd rather not have the guy put under for surgery if we don't need to!

DuPont returned yesterday, hyper as ever, which is normal after he returns from the rescue.  I took him for a brief walk to get his yaya's out, then we settled down to work on the blog.

He's a good supervisor when it comes to computer work.




















Makin' sure I cross my t's and dot my i's!
