Likes: Being with his people, sleeping with Mommy, belly rubs, catch, sharing Mommy's shower, treats, singing, walks and car rides, chasing rabbits and ducks, snoozing, tug.
Pet-Peeves: Not being able to see his people. Closed doors are an affront.
Favorite Toy: Angus has an overflowing toy box--we never know what he's going to pull out. His likes his talking telephone, godzilla, the cow, his red leash, the goose and the tiger that sounds like a cat. He sings when the tiger meows.
Favorite Food: Peanut butter and carrots.
Favorite Walk: Anywhere provided it's a long walk.
Best Tricks: Angus is extremely intelligent. He puts away his own toys and helps with the laundry. He has amazing dexterity. He lies on his back with a toy between his front paws, throws it in the air, catches it and spins it around.
Arrival Story: I have English Springer "brothers" and love the breed. We met Angus when he was a little butterbull of a pup and he stole our hearts.
Bio: Angus The Warrior is thus called because in June 2003 he was diagnosed with immune-mediated hemolytic anemia (IMHA). IMHA is a disease in which the body attacks its own red blood cells. Despite being incredibly ill and weak, Angus faced treatment with the heart of a lion and a wagging tail. IMHA cannot be cured and must therefore be dealt with via medication. Unfortunately, there can be secondary infections as a result.
In early September 2003, Angus was readmitted to the hospital. The prognosis was grim. We visited him every chance we got, fearful that it would be the last time we saw him. However, our wee warrior wasn't about to give up. His will was strong and he fought hard. I believe God heard our prayers and those of our friends and family.
It's been almost two years since Angus was hospitalized for an IMHA related episode. He has regular blood tests and will always be on medication. Despite all he has gone through, he greets every day with joy and enthusiasm. He's a great big love and we absolutely adore him.
Forums Motto: Wag well and wag often.
