Her fur was a mess (feces, mats and gum), her nails were unbelievably long and curved, she had fleas and was in heat. My heart melted. Thankfully, my husband had given me permission to "home trial" a small dog, so I asked to take Louise home.
("home trial" = permenant resident when your "no more pets" husband starts using baby-talk and allows licking of his face)
Louise is a perfect little lady, if you overlook the food-guarding, toy-stealing and general bossing she does towards our AmStaff (who take it all in stride..... he, too is besotted by her otherwise gentle and loving nature).
I will post before and after pics of Louise in the photo thread shortly............ |
HA HA! Yep, I also have one of those! "No pets!" We bring home Ody (cat) and he is his baby. "No more!" We get Athena (Bearded Dragon). "Only 4 hearts in this house." We bring home Zeus... "NO MORE!" May be bringing home a little girl in a few months. "That is IT!"
She may or may not get over the food and toy issues...but with time, she'll get somewhat better.
WELCOME!! Where in Ohio are you?
