A new edition to the Foister family...

Meet Thor, a 9 week old German Shepherd puppy.  We rescued him from the Morristown Hamblem Animal Shelter yesterday.  Daniel and I fell in love with him immediately and knowing how big and what he would look like when he grew older- we named him THOR!!
Moxie and Salvador seem to be tolerating him fairly well with the cat only slinking off and disappearing half the night. After spending the rest of the day with us and into this morn, we noticed that he was not playing and interacting like a puppy should. So we decided to take him to our family Vet.  To all of our horrors, we found out that he has the Mange and Parvovirus.  Both very contagious and fatal if left untreated.  We agreed to start a rigorous plan of meds, fluids, dips and close medical attention.  We won't be able to pick him back up until Monday and are trying to leave him in God's hands.
I ask that you pray for little Thor's health and well being and for our sanity as well.  God bless you all!
