โ€œStinky is doing absolutely wonderful! He loves to see his brother Tazz, but was a little weary of him at first! He loves to make his biscuits and he loves to be pet!! He is such a lover! He found his favorite part in the home and itโ€™s underneath the kitchen counter! He loves to play (for about 20 seconds) and he loves to eat!! Stink is starting to settle in perfectlyโ€

What a great happy tail! Three cheers for Stinky and his forever family!
