"Duckie" (Adopted!) Finally Gets Cabin Fever on Day 25

Duckie's first time playing since his recovery began 25 days prior.

Duckie is a 6 month old puppy. He was originally thought to be an Airedale Terrier, but now that the swelling in his face has gone down and his ears become more upright with each passing day, it seems more likely that he's a German Shepherd or mix.

He was found in a Texas bayou, hungry and with a severe case of demodex / demodectic mange. He hardly moved at all his first week, not even to go bathroom sometimes. Running and playing on day 25 was a big step for him.

An incomplete video of his recovery process has been temporarily uploaded for the curious:

Song: "Iya," by Chara, from the Japanese album, "Happy Toy."

Special thanks to the fine doctors and animal care technicians of Stafford Oaks Veterinary Hospital in Stafford, TX.

DUCKIE HAS BEEN ADOPTED! :D
