Little Pup Lodge guests
board here anywhere from a few days to several weeks. Aston, on the
other hand, comes for daily pet-sitting Monday through Friday. He is
quite the little gentleman, very quiet and well-behaved. Aston gets a
lot of attention on the street for his exotic looks and keeps people
guessing at his breed. No one knows for sure, of course, since his very
lucky mom rescued him from the local shelter. Suggestions have included
King Charles spaniel, border collie and Australian Shepherd. Then his
mom found a photo of an old French painting and dang if it wasn’t
Aston’s spitting image. Perhaps it was his great-great-great-great
grandfather.
Parlez vous chien? Although young and healthy, Aston did give his mom and us a big scare after he had a couple of seizures.
Dr. Evelyn Sharp,
his veterinarian, took him under her wing. Clients pay her a monthly
membership fee for in-home comprehensive vet services. Aston hasn’t had
any more seizures, so whatever his mom and the vet are doing must be
working.
