Hamm

I just wanted to give you a little update on Hamm and let you know how the last almost 11 months have gone. He is a wonderful dog that has so much love to give; we are so lucky to have found him. We have since bought a house and Hamm has become king of his back yard. Back in June, we adopted a 9 week old English Bulldog (named Brutus) because Hamm needed a friend. He went from having too much energy at times to becoming a big brother and calming down significantly. Hamm is very much like having a child. He loves to cuddle even though it is difficult with an 80 lb dog, he is scared to death of thunder and wakes us up at night so that we can comfort him, he knows when you are upset and comes and sits as close as he can to you to comfort you, and is just a wonderful companion. Recently though, he has been having some medical problems. We are in the second phase of testing to confirm Cushing's disease. I don't know how other's would react to having a dog that is going to have some serious medical condition, but Brad and I want the best for him. He is a part of our family and we will do whatever necessary to make sure that he is happy and comfortable. Sometimes I wish I knew a little more history about him so that we know if there is something else that we should watch for. I have told everyone that I know about Hamm and how wonderful TARA's Dream is. I would suggest that everyone rescue at least one dog in his or her lifetime. You will never find a more loving or best friend. Thank you again for taking such good care of him while he was with TARA. We really couldn't ask for a better dog! Brad and Jessica
