Arrival Story:
Pumpkin was a rescue dog from Second Chance Rescue in San Francisco. I saw him posted on their website and thought he looked so much like Buffy that I went all the way to Sonoma to meet him. Buffy and I fell in love with him and brought him home with us. He and Buffy have been best friends ever since. Pumpkin was pulled from a pound in the north counties on his last day. Very close call.

Bio:
Has Addison's disease, under control, but took awhile to figure out what was wrong. He almost died several times. Under great care at Pet's Friend in Sunnyvale, CA. Gets his cortocoid shot every 23 days and takes a small amount of prednisone daily. UC Davis did the final diagnosis.
