Punkin Hi-Stand's Star Commander - a.k.a.
"Buzz" Under a Rebel Moon - a.k.a "Shadow" Otis or as I call him - Sir Otis Lixalot He is a rescue picked up from an Interstate access
ramp. He came to us with numerous medical needs (the usuals plus a nasty
skin condition). He's integrated himself into the family real well.
He is the typical Boston Terrier - it's never a dull day with him. As you
can see below - he figured out how to get up on the desk bench and cuddle with
Ian while he was playing on the computer. He's almost as obsessive about
balls (and his humans) as Shadow is about any toy he has (even if it's just a
stick). We adopted him from a local city animal shelter.
He'd originally been picked up because he'd been hit by a car. They were
going to put him down but the vet examining him said he'd survive. So they
started minimal treatment. I saw him on Saturday, Oct 13th, and he seemed
very sweet, kinda shy, and in need of a bunch of cuddling. When I went
back the next day (Sunday) to volunteer at the shelter we were told that his
last day would be Tuesday. Well.... I adopted him on the spot. You
can still feel some of the ridges on his skull where he had some really bad road
rash from the gravel he skidded in. And I believe that he's had some eye
damage from that too as he doesn't seem to see accurately. Which is why I
refer to him as my "passel of Prickliness". When the big dogs get excited
they have a tendency to ignore his presence and step over/around him.
Despite all that he's a good addition to the family and we love him bunches.
His biggest nemesis is Shadow (big boisterous Lab) and it's really funny when
Sparky tries to say "hey, I'm here" by nipping at Shadow's back legs - all he
gets is a mouth full of black fur which he then has to try to spit out.
