Happy 1st Birthday Apache , left for dead, but just look at you now

he was left for dead at the vets-- born w/ part of his brain exposed, missing his hard, and soft pallet - and very tiny- so they call me- you just know I had to say "yes, I will take him " 5 mos of tube feeding while we waited for him to get big enough for his surgery, his skull healed on its own.
well, that was all one yr ago - and just look at him now he still needs 1 more surgery, to fix a repair on his pallet, but everything else is completely healed - you would never know anything was every wrong with him he is the best little guy , I feel blessed to have a had a part in his becoming a beautiful dog

Aww!!! He's such a miracle baby!! You are such an amazing person! I wish I could do what you do!!

Great story and beautiful boy!!! Kudos to you!!

Cheryl, you really do the good work Happy birthday Apache (Who's a good doggie- yes you are ) To both you and Apache 'Shine on you crazy diamonds'

thanks guys- he really is a great dog, and I could not just turn my back - and I love to hep the "underdogs" - lol ( and under cats, under chams.... )

Great story! Happy birfday, Apache!

What a great story and such a handsome boy, thanks to you.

You really have done a great job with him and he is adorable. And no, I still won't take him after his last surgery. My dogs are to rough and tumble, I would not be able to ever allow that baby any more pain. i an still amazed that your big dogs never hurt him. I think he should stay with you. After you have a couple, what is one more? And he is really small..........

hee hee...yes, that is what I told Honey - whats 3 more- errr- I mean 1 more

wow, that is awesome!!!!! it's people like you that make the world a better place!!!!!!!! thank you for caring!!!!!

Happy birthday Apache! And congrats to his wonderful mama! Hope you will celebrate many more together!

You are awsome!! what an amazing thing to do. Happy bday lucky pup, you sure found the right owner.
