I am Vamonos (or Vamy for short if you so choose) I was born August 4th 2012 I was rescued from a puppy mill in ohio and now am currently happily living in Pittsburgh I am a puppy mill survivor and here to share the adventures of myself and my brother Piggy the Pigopotomus. When I was living in the puppy mill my back legs got caught in the cage I lived in with my mommy brothers and sisters. No one
came to check on me for a few days since my brothers, sisters and I were very sick. Lucky a nice lady from a rescue came for me. She said my legs were so bad they were worried I would not be able to use them and my skin was grown around the cage, they had to use scary bolt cutters to get me out. I was so dehydrated and with having parvovirus on top of everything else they were very worried about me. I went to the vet and they decided I was in bad shape and said they needed to keep me a few nights. While I was resting at the vet my rescuer Debbie the woman who pulled me from the puppy mill was able to go back and save my brothers and sisters. The vet checked out my legs and told the rescue I still couldn't stand up. While all this was going on my dada and momma were taking to Debbie. She said she had a puppy who was so sick and needed someone who would really love me. She even said they could come pick me up the next day as long as I was taken to a vet and a specialist when I got back to my new home. The next day Debbie woke me up early and two people were waiting for me. They looked at me and momma started crying. My momma and dada never had a baby before. I got so excited to meet them that I didn't know what to do so I peed on them and then tried to hump them! They kept talking about my tail. They said they loved me so much. They carried me over to the car and they already had clothes and toys and treats for me. Momma said she would drive so dada could hold me but then after 5 min momma said she had to hold her new baby. When I was in the car I decided to take a long nap then I woke up at my new home. I couldn't walk well so I just let my parents carry me all the time. Even when my legs got better and I could walk around easily I still let momma carry me everywhere. Since I was still very sick we spent many days at the vet. Momma was scared to go to sleep so her and dada slept in shifts so someone was always awake with me. Finally after a couple weeks I was doing pretty good. I'm a happy guy but since I was scared when my legs were caught I'm now fearful of people I don't know. I'm also scared of metal, cages, loud noises and I don't like fighting and yelling. I couldn't bark or make any noises for a very long time. Then when I was around a year old I learned to growl. I don't growl to be mean! I growl cause that's how I communicate with you. The vet thinks someone hurt my throat when I was a baby. I don't like dog food and please don't feed me anything I'm not aloud to eat. I still have tummy issues and I get upset every easily. When I get to upset I take Xanax to help me calm down. I like being brushed and cleaned. In the morning I get a bath or shower and at night I wait for momma to brush my teeth and wash my face. I have some very important people in my life besides my momma n daddy. Momma doesn't let just anyone watch me and I get stressed out being alone so I'm a traveling bullymix. I love my Gammy, Pap, great Gammy, aunt Olivia and Bandit very much. I recently got a brother. Piggy the Pigopotomis. He is a bulldog/beagle mix. We were not looking for a brother or sister but the rescue told momma Piggy and I had the same birthday! I'm august 4th 2012 and Piggy is august 4th 2013. When they told my parents we had the same birthday they said it was meant to be. At first I wasn't so sure about Piggy. He was wild and crazy and I'm very laid back. I'm finally getting used to his crazy ways and now that I have a little brother I don't know how I lived without him even with his peeing problems! Piggy is very brave. I'm glad he has my tail! As you can see I have some issues but I'm working thru it. I also love celebrating my birthday. For 2014 Piggy and I are sharing a very special birthday party. We will be inviting all of our friends. Please check back this summer for the dates and plans cause everyone is invited. Thank you for liking my page.
