Description:
Tom Boy is a very distinguished gentleman of about 7-8 yrs. He is 11lbs of total love and devotion! For a dog that came from a back yard breeder; he has acclaimated to the good life quite well! Tom is starting to enjoy the feel of grass under my feet and sunshine on his back and belly. He love sleeping in the big bed with Mom and love to have rubs on the belly!!! He is completely crate trained and will use the puppy pads when I can't get outside. Tom would be perfect for a single person or couple with a low key quiet lifestyle!

Tomboy has had a few medical issues that are requiring a Cardiologist! Please send healing Doxie rays his way and stay turned for more updates on this special guy!

Update: March 29, 2009 - TomBoy has much improved since his visit to the cardiologist. He had an echo done of his heart and it shows that he has Pulmonary Hypertension. He also had a touch of pneumonia.

TomBoy is now on nebulizer (breathing) treatments for the pneumonia and medication for the Pulmonary Hypertension. The medication that he is on for the PHTN is very expensive as there is no generic form and of course no insurance for him. He is on Sildenafil (Viagra) and Digoxin. Yes I said Viagra (Sildenafil)! It was made for the PHTN and the makers discovered other things the medicine did and decided to market it for that purpose. Tomboys foster parents are paying for his medications out of their pocket at this time (Approximately 240.00 a month). IF anyone out there would like to be TomBoys pal, we would greatly appreciate it!

Since starting TomBoy on the medications, he has improved 90%. TomBoy is back to being his silly self. He runs and plays with the other dogs, keeps his yard protected, and plays with the doggie toys again! TomBoy even rolls over on his back for his much loved belly rubs.
