Last weekend we became the owners of an adorable German Shorthaired Pointer puppy named August (or "Gus"). He stole our hearts immediately with his sweet laid-back demeanor and charm.

Unfortunately, less than 24-hours after getting him, he became very sick. I rushed him to the emergency veterinary clinic on Sunday where he was diagnosed with Parvo (as it turns out, one of his litter mates died of Parvo last week). He has remained at the animal hospital, on IV fluids and medication, ever since. We are hoping for a full and speedy recovery!
