About John Coffey *Muchos gracias*
Muchos gracias!! Wow...humans are really cool. I hear, I get to start my heartworm treatment next Friday. Thank you!!! I just can't believe how nice everyone is here at my sheltie rescue family home and my extended sheltie rescue family. You can just call me "BIG JOHN", as my name suggests I'm a larger than life sheltie, sometimes I don't realize my size. I was found as a stray and unfortunately have a couple of problems, I got heartworms and they are really bad (at least that's what TED (The EVIL DOCTOR) says). Sometimes I cough. I've had all kinds of test, xrays, and something called an echocardiogram. I lost my manhood (that was a big blow to my ego). And I still have to get those darn worms treated,so you see I really need everyone to keep praying for me because I hear this treatment is no picnic and supposedly I have to be kept quiet for almost 60 days, no running, no playing, no jumping, wow now that's going to be hard for me foster family. I'm the most loving, attention seeking (and giving) dog you will meet. I can be well a wee bit devious at times and will display puppy behaviors like stealing toliet paper and shredding it (note to foster mom, you really should put it behind a locked door) or trying to take me foster dad's lunch off the counter (teehee - the other shelties are to short to reach the counter). Now that's fun stuff. I like to jump on the bed and make sure me foster mom is awake after me foster dad leaves for work. Nope, me not let me foster mom sleep late! Once I finish my heartworm treatment I'd like to have a permanent family to share my love with. Coffey stands about 20 inches tall and weighs 40 pounds, he's a little undweight.
