Happiness is a foster dog.

Lincoln is doing absolutely wonderfully!  His medication is clearly working because he has a ton of new hair growth, especially on his front legs, chest and face. He is also steadily gaining weight, mostly muscle.  He is getting more handsome every day.  He rarely ever itches anymore, and his skin is no longer on fire. He seems to feel great.

As I suspected, he and Jax are two of a kind.  Now that Lincoln is strong, they play non stop, for hours on end.  Inside, outside, it doesn't matter.  They chase and wrestle until they collapse into a tired heap of dog.  They act like brothers, always wanting what the other has.  We have a basket full of toys, most of which got completely ignored until toy-deprived Lincoln arrived, in total awe.  He loves each and every toy.  Suddenly, every single one of them is Jax's favorite too.  I think Dixie is enjoying Jax being occupied by another.  She participates in the games when she feels like it, but can easily slip away from the action to sleep or hunt, both of which she prefers over playing.

I'm taking him in for a recheck in about 10 days.  At that time, I am hoping that he is deemed well enough to be neutered.  He sure seems it.  After that, I see no reason why he won't be ready to be listed as "adoptable."

If anyone is looking for the world's friendliest canine companion, who loves to snuggle and give kisses, let me know!  I have just the boy for you!

Here are some new pictures.  See all of the new fuzz on his formerly naked legs?  Yay!
