Not sure what about this gal reached out to us..but whatever it was, we pulled her and she is now in foster care. Maybe it was the fact that so many people were trying to save her. Maybe it was the vet report that said despite her pain, she simply licked the vets hands. Maybe it was the animal controls officers words that she was just a complete peach. The hard luck story of the owner in jail? Her age? Whatever it was..here she is..Miss Sky-Belle. This is a super sweet girl who would LOVE to live out ehr life in the lap of luxury. She has a badly luxated patella that will possibly need surgery but we are waiting to address that until we get some weight off of her and get her on supplements. CHances are she has been living with it for a very long time. She shows no sign of pain and it certainly doesn't slow her down. Sky is a very well behaved girl who gets along with dogs both big and small and even cats. She has been somewhat neglected but out of ignorance, not intentional abuse. She LOVES going for rides and loves to be loved. What mroe could you want? surely someone would like to give this 8+ year old girl a forever home of her own.

 Re: just a gimpy old cow dog Weight: more than it should be. LOL! She looks like such a sweet older girl. I'm SURE she'll find her people soon. __________________ Ignorance can be cured with knowledge. Stupidity can only be cured with a bullet. Time to stock up on both. |

| Re: just a gimpy old cow dog Well poor SkyBelle has two infected ears (we noticed she was head shaking thursday) and also has a vaginal infection. So much for our hopes that she was spayed. oh well..she will be once we get her infections under control. (and obviously prior to adoption) |

| Re: just a gimpy old cow dog blinktat, you can post rescues ONLY if you are part of a rescue organization. If you're a dog lover who pulls a dog from a shelter and wants to adopt it out, or if you picked up a stray, you can't list them here, and we don't allow owner surrenders. Poor kiddo! Once she's all healed up, I bet she becomes a crazy 8 year old puppy. I'm pulling for her! __________________ Ignorance can be cured with knowledge. Stupidity can only be cured with a bullet.

| Re: just a gimpy old cow dog She is a sweet, sweet, SWEET dog....give her a couch cushion to lay on and she wont move for 2 hours. She met kitties at the feed store, totally ignored them. She met a few dogs, totally ignored them, too. She has met my Leeroy, as well as my pug (Noke)...and guess what? She ignored them as well! lol. Of course, little miss mellow also has ZERO interest in any toys, either. We are going on short walks (about 10 minutes each) around the neighborhood a couple times a day, because anything longer really seems to irritate her knee. I'm also trying to find someplace she can go swimming for a somewhat reasonable price. I found someone I thought would work, but apparently the big bad pit bull scares her. *sigh* She had a half-assed bath yesterday because she needed it desperately. She wouldnt let me put cotton in her ears, so I just avoided her head entirely. While she wasnt exactly fond of the bath, she listened quite well and didnt give me any fuss whatsoever. She also hasnt fussed at all with her daily ear cleaning, or topical antibiotic, even though I know it hurts her. She seems to have a bit of separation anxiety, and I dont blame her. She seems to NEED to see people, so I've set up a second crate in the living room so she can be out with us when she can't be out LOOSE with us (I don't trust my Sophia around her at all.) I made the mistake of leaving her in my newly remodeled first bedroom, out of the crate while she ate, and she decided to shred the wall at the door frame. Oops..good thing my better half is quite handy around the house! I will try to get some more pics of her in the next couple days...she is such a pretty thing! __________________ There is more to happiness than a happy ending. |

| Re: just a gimpy old cow dog This morning before work, I let her out to go potty without realizing that my pug had snuck out of my room (previous visits have been on neutral territory, and on leashes) - Noke kinda bum rushed....and Sky licked her head.  They ran off into the backyard like long lost buddies, with me following behind. Noke showed her all the finer parts of the yard (including Lily and Ralph's kennel, which they DID NOT like.) This was the first time that Sky wandered more than about 5 feet from either my boyfriend or myself and she seemed to be thoroughly enjoying it. She came back in, and we sat on the couch for a bit (such a bad influence I am) and then we went back into the dog room, where she very patiently allowed me to give me her ear meds....and dutifully entered her kennel afterwards, without me requesting it of her. She is so awesome, and deserves to spend the rest of her days pampered like the princess she is. __________________ There is more to happiness than a happy ending. |
