Nugget 07-108 [1]

Sponsored by: Peggy Menzel

Nugget is a big, beautiful boy (BBB) who reminds me of the Lion King, with all of his long, wavy golden fur!  He is 8 years old, neutered, and weighs about 98 lbs.  Nugget was well-loved by his surrendering family, who unfortunately had to move to an apartment building and could not keep Nugget or his sister Dixie 07-109.

He is currently on medication for seizures, but has reportedly not had one for about three months.  He also has what looks to be a hot spot (skin sore) on his front leg and is now wearing an e-collar to keep him from licking it.  His vet appointment is on Thursday, so we'll find out for-sure what it is at that time.  I also suspect this beautiful boy has
hip dysplasia in one of his hips, and have started him on a joint supplement to help him with any pain he may be having.  His surrendering family has teenaged and above children, and with Nugget's hip issue I wouldn't recommend Nugget being placed with young children.  If indeed it is hip dysplasia, playing fetch and other sudden start-and-stop
activities should also be avoided.  Swimming and hiking would be awesome exercises; anyone need a cabin buddy???

Nugget does great with other dogs, and is starting to learn to leave the kitties alone.  Otherwise, Nugget is totally Mister Mellow and shows no anxiety of any kind, and to be honest I have not heard him bark!  He appears to be well-trained and has had no potty issues with me; he found the jingle bells on my door knob without me even showing him! Smart boy! :)
