    Before and After (aka Extreme Makeover - Dog Edition)

    OMG!  I love this thread!!!  What lucky humans we are to have the special kids in our lives.
     
    Boomer, you're one long dog!  I though Grady was long but I think you win. ~L~

    Kelli- I LOVE the last pic of boomer!  My first greyhound use to do "frog leggs".  Seeing your pup do it brought back so many memories!![:D

    I wish I would have gotten pics of Boss right away when I brought him home with me. At 9 months he only weighed 30 pounds and you could see every bone in his body.. here he is only a couple weeks after I got him and he put on 14 pounds in 2 weeks.. and then one of him I took yesterday.

    It's amazing to see how much a loving home can change these dogs/pups![:D] Here he is the day I found him on the side of the road - for about a week he was known as the "no-personality" dog because he was so vacant - I can't even say this is "Dodger" because he wasn't close to the puppy/dog he became.  When I look at this picture, it's like I don't know this puppy - does that happen to anyone else with their before pics???
