All in the Family

Biography: The pic is Sammy with her "little" big sister Gracie. Another one of Gods creatures "surrendered" or thrown away like trash. She also came from 2nd Chance Rescue like Wendy. So far I have learned that she never had a lot of room to just run. She loves it. Gets along with the other two. She is not a replacement for Wendy, but another little soul that needs love and a forever home. Since she is pretty new here, she is my shadow, but I am sure with time and a bit more of security on her behalf, this too shall pass. One thing I am not sure that will go away, she is scared of men. I had my son, Mike approach her yesterday. She will let him near if he comes from the side, as most dogs who are scared. I am sure she can sense that something had happened here, but she will not pay for it. So, I have to restrain myself from spoiling her, cause it would not help her in the longrun. 07/12/10 Got in touch with her old vet, at least the one on her tag. I needed to know for sure if she ws spayed. She acted like it, but the shelter had said she was not, well, turns out she IS spayed. So, I was asking about allergies, you know stuff I should be aware of. And I get the shock of a lifetime. Last time they heard from the "previous" owner was in Dec '09. And you will never believe for what, a SEIZURE!!!! At least that's what the owner thought. Since they would not bring her in, the vet is not sure if it was a seizure or she just fainted. I told the tech what I just went through with Wendy and after she extented her condolences she said " For her it's the best place, sadly you have experience with real seizures vs a simple fainting spell. She is exactly where she needs to be with the right person". So, I guess I found my vet. Seems he doesn't just write out scripts for narcs without seeing the dog and running tests. Which is exactly what I needed or rather, it was what Wendy should've had.
