Life has been keeping me from writing a blog post on Pumpkin, our latest foster. He is a one-year-old pekingese mix over at Mutts Matter Rescue. He really is a doll! super sweet! and eager to please.

He is making his first media debut on the Patch this week. I'll post the link when the article is published. But here's a sneak peak of his photo shoot today.

Gizmo's 2-year anniversary

Hello, I'm a pretty big deal! I'm about 2 years and 6 months old. I've spent 2 years with my family. I love them mucho, and they even organized me a little celebration!

We got cookies that shaped like cupcakes! woof!!

And they tortured me by making me wait because they need pictures of me. Sheesh!

Of course, it's no party without my sis Lilo. She got a pink cookie...I want a pink cookie. Did you know, pink is my favorite color?

Food and Drug Administration

The FDA called me a few times this week!!!!  You know, I'm a mighty important dog.
Three months after my Fanconi incidence, the FDA is finally investigating and reviewing my case linked with chicken jerky treats. After a brief phone interview with the FDA lady, I asked Claire to reach out to my doctors for my full medical records so the FDA can review my case.

The lady wanted samples of the treat that made me so very sick, so they could examine the toxins. While I was at ICU, the doctors wanted the bag of treats, so they could file a complaint with FDA. Turns out, they disposed the treats after they filed the complaint. They did not save them as evidence or send them in to the FDA. I am pretty mad! After SOOOO much suffering, I want to get to the bottom of this. And the FDA is finally taking me seriously, but we have no treats for them to prove things out. I want justice for my fellow doggie friends and myself!
