KENNY

(Picture of Kenny (on right)with adopted sister (Julie)) It has been a little over a month since Kenny has come home to us. He is such an amazing little guy and has brought so much joy and love to our family. Even though Kenny has special needs (he is deaf and blind) it is very hard to tell, he gets around the house and yard well. Within 24 hours he knew the layout. Kenny is a very busy boy. He goes to doggie daycare which he loves, he has made so many friends and the workers adore him. We think Kenny has become a mascot for our children's weekly lacrosse games, so many people know him and he barks when people are cheering on the game. He loves to go visit all four of his grandparents and loves going for walks on a leash. When Kenny is home he is usually playing with his brothers and sister, playing with his numerous toys, chewing bones, running around his backyard, laying in his window seat or his favorite past time...swimming in the pool with his family. As soon as his goggles and life jacket go on Kenny is like a torpedo in the water. He is so spoiled. He has his own wardrobe, complete with a bathrobe, coats for every season, many shirts, sweat shorts and swim trunks, a stroller for when he gets tired (which isn't often) and he gets a tremendous amount of love. Everyone who meets Kenny adores him, he seems to warm the hearts of everyone he meets. Kenny may have a chance to get to be seen by a veterinarian ophthalmologist from Cornell University. Our vet is trying to get him seen this fall. We want to have his vision checked and see if anything can be done to help Kenny's vision. Kenny has blessed our family, we look at him every day with the brightest smiles. He is a perfect addition to our family. Our family wants to thank the All american Dachshund Rescue for their thorough adoption process for these sweet dogs and for blessing our family with Kenny.
