From Marco’s fantastic family..thank you so much
I want to announce that I have decided to give 10 per cent of my royalty cheques of my debut novel to your society next year. I have a book called Madame Part 1. Bittersweet Goodbyes. It can be purchased from Choice publishing or amazon at the moment. Google my full name and you can click onto either website. I have arranged seperate cheque´s,which will be sent to you next year as they occur, through my new pr guy from my work, who promises this.
It will be my contribution for giving me and partner a second chance in life with Marco, especially after loosing our beloved Lola.
So to all dog lovers that enjoy a gripping read please tell your friends, as this is the first of my trilogy, and part 2. to follow at the end of April 2012. Enjoy!!!
From Marcos family
Since marco has been with us it has been a complete transformation in lifestyle for us all. Me and my partner has had to adjust having a third member of the family, and equally Marco has had to adjust in his new surroundings. There has only been one incident when I had to take him to the vets, as he passed blood. But the vet assured me this was because he was overwhelmed with all the changes happening to him, and the stress manifested in this sort of action. I assure you he is settled down now.
Hes such a protective dog, and in the beginning he was barking at anyone that would approach me in his company. Over the last few months he has become accustomed to many people saying, wow what a handsome dog, or boy he´s a beauty where did he come from. So obviously Marco had to get use to this constant attention from strangers. I have explained his background and over time he got into a routine seeing the same faces, so he learnt to trust again, and realise that noone was going to cause him harm.
When I had visits to my home from friends, Marco would love this and get excited, the only problem that were still getting from Marco is when they leave the house. He goes mad and nips them at their feet. But this is only to tell them I dont want you to go. He has quitened down in this aspect alot. Nowadays, its 50-50 weather he does this, depending on his mood. But in time this too will stop when he realises people do come and go, and accepts this as a normal thing.
I recently gave him a booster injection, and a kennel cough. He is now at Mutugly in Ranlaeigh once every two weeks to socialise with other dogs, and its worked wonders already, yes, he barks at other dogs, only to show hey…im here look at me. But before he was frightened of most dogs. Mutugly has given him confidence and the soical aspect he misses from interacting with other dogs, especially when he came from interacting with other dogs at his foster home.
Next year I will sort out his passport, so when he is fully integrated in all aspects of life, and accepting of everything, he will then learn to travel to spain, and come on holidays too with me and my partner.. He has his routine and is such a clean animal. He uses the paper put down to do his business, and never does it anywhere else in our home. He was instinctive in this, I never trained him…how lucky was I!
His Aunties spoil him with toys, my friends say he has become like my left arm, always at my side. He´s amazing on the lead, and will walk until he drops…simply loves walking. He has in a short time whilst with us, settled down well, become like my shadow, and knows when my partner finishes work. Marco on a daily basis waits patiently at the door for their return, and goes mad on their arrival. Ha ha he knows when its mimo time..
These are more pictures of our little buddy in his home, and if you compare them to the origional website pictures, he´s totally changed. Physically he is strong, his back legs now have muscles! Facially he´s blossomed into a more handsome dog than before…how lucky is he! Socially he´s stettled emotionally, and has a life second to none. I have never forgotten the trust you placed in us adopting him, and in return we promised you that Marco would want for nothing. Marco its fair to say has a life other dogs only dream of, why. Because in return he thanks us, makes us laugh alot, is loyal and obidient, and has become our baby, our buddy, our best friend. Thanks DID, and I hope that others are inspired by this story to realise, the effort you put in to any animal you adopt, is rewarded time and time again by these dogs, through their love and compassion for giving them a second chance..
