It has been months since I have given an update on Shadow. For those who don’t remember, Shadow is a dog we rescued from an abusive, neglectful situation. The plan was to find a rescue group that would get him the help he needed adjusting and learning to socialize before finding him a new home. When that didn’t work, we decided to try to keep him. Mom and I wouldn’t let an animal die if we could help it. As the title indicates, Shadow has come so far!

Personal Updates for February 22, 2021
This post is to share some honesty about how I have been doing and to provide a few updates.
Dear Scorpio
Here, at last, is my letter to Scorpio. I wish it had come sooner, but I haven’t been myself since his death. Suddenly saying goodbye to him and several other things that don’t belong here have kept me from feeling ready to pay the tribute to Scorp I want to pay.
Now that I’m slowly feeling more like myself, and that he has almost been gone for a month. It is time. I’m ready to say what I need to say for me.
We Have Decided to try to Keep Shadow
I didn’t see this coming. Its not what I wanted. But for several reasons we have decided to try to keep Shadow.
Scorpio is Gone
Writing my painful goodbye to our beloved Scorpio, I’m sitting on the floor next to his bed. Trying to best share my feelings about a wonderful friend and our sudden loss, I need to be close to him.
Sitting in the place where I sat so often to rub his side just feels right.
Scorpio is Doing Better
Scorpio’s spinal arthritis had been getting worse. Mom and I were really worried when he started having trouble getting on the couch. Sometimes, he would try a couple of times with no success. For the last couple of days, though, he has been doing better.
Shadow is doing Very Well
Shadow is a rottweiler mix Mom and I rescued from a difficult situation more than a month ago. At the time, he showed signs of fear and serious aggression toward other animals.
I’m happy to report that today Shadow has come a long way. I’m now confident he could make a great pet in the right situation.

This post has updates about my exercise, our search for a new dog, and an update on how I have been feeling.
I Won’t be Getting a Dog Guide Soon
In I’m not Ready I discussed how I felt about regularly being asked when I would get a new dog shortly after Ufi got sick. Since he has been gone for more than two months, I thought I should provide an update on this.
