Invader Zim
It is truly amazing what some time and love can do for a dog. Invader Zim is simply thriving. He would also not want you to forget lots and lots of food was necessary for this transformation!
Zim was a skeleton tossed over a shelters fence overnight. He had chunks of skin and fur scabbed and falling off, and he was very dehydrated on top of it. Now, in just about a month you can barely see his bones. He is even starting to get some muscles in his back legs.
Zim has been doing great in his foster home. He is learning he doesn’t have to dive head first into food, or anything he think MIGHT be food for that matter. He is learning to share toys, and just generally understand that he doesn’t have to hide things, or steal the cat food bowl (impressively stealthily) and tuck it away on the couch with him, these things will always be there for him from now on. He has even made a furry bestie he is obsessed with and she has taught him how to be a vocal boy (sorry not sorry future adopters) and he is quickly growing into his goofy, weeble wobble alien boy self.
Zim has quirky dances when excited, and he sounds like a duck pitter pattering around the house with his big webbed feet. He has no spacial awareness - he runs into things - people, walls, dogs - he trips and falls, both over his own feet and off the couch when he is playing too hard and he bounces right back as if it never happened. He is a special creature.
Zim has a recheck today, where we will see how his bloodwork has improved since we got him, and very soon this alien boy will be up for adoption.
