My in-laws came to visit and we went for a walk downtown. We ended up at the flower and pet market and walked through. I rarely ever go down there because I end up crying about how they treat the animals, but we were trying to show them real China. My husband took a picture of a puppy that grabbed our attention, but we had already decided that we were waiting to get a puppy until next spring, and everyone told us not to get a pet from the market because they weren't healthy. About a week later, we went back just to see if anyone had got the puppy yet. He was still there, and he looked terrible. They had stopped feeding him because he was getting to big which supposedly made him harder to sell. He looked so tiny and sick so we brought him home.

Everyone was right, puppies from the market aren't very healthy. Our baby had worms and ear mites which we've taken care of. He still has mange, a skin fungus, and is very skinny which we are still working on.

OK everyone....meet our new fur baby Rosco. We think he is a Boston Terrier mix, but any guesses are welcome because we're really not sure.

This is him not being potty trained

Sundial, we''re in a city called Yantai. It is about a hour and a half flight northeast of Shanghai. There are so many places in China that are beautiful and cultural interesting. Unfortunately, Yantai isn''t one of those. We do try to travel quite a bit though. I''m glad you enjoyed your trip. Where did you go?

Rebot - THANK YOU for saving this little soul, bless you. I truly mean that. THANK YOU for giving him love and care and a forever home. I wish I could hug you! He is gorgeous! He definitely looks Boston possibly crossed with a terrier, maybe a Jack Russell?

Holy Cow!
that puppy is so CUTE! I love his little blue eye, and his big feet.
I''m a puppy sucker, I''d have scooped that little needy guy right up too.
Best of luck and joy with him.

Rebot we visited Dalian, Beijing, Xian, Shanghai, and Hong Kong as well as a couple of cities in Japan. I really liked Shanghai and could any city be more beautiful at night???

Keep us posted on how your new baby is doing!

Oh, he's absolutely precious! Definitely looks like a Boston Terrier but those eyes and big feet are a mystery!! It was so wonderful for you to have saved him from a miserable fate. Enjoy your new addition!

You know that dogs who have been rescued from adverse situations
