1/5/13:  Just when I thought life couldn’t be any better Susanne & Bill came to adopt me.  I never imagined anyone would want a dog like me with so many problems yet they love me already.  They are very special people and what a lucky girl I am.  Also here is a picture of me at my new home in my brand new crate with toys to play with.  There are 3 others here and they are shelties like me so it is good to have friends.  Folks sure have been good to me and I had no idea such a good life was possible for me.  When I am healthy enough I will still have to be treated for the heartworms and also be spayed.  Thanks everyone who helped to save my life and kept me in their prayers.

12/22/12:  I continue to get better and much more active now.  My skin is no longer greasy and so much more pink and healthy.  Today I even did a play dance with the others and ran around the yard.  Yep I’m on my way back to good health and it is because so many people care.

 

12/16/12: Looking a little better and sure am feeling better these days.  I have so much more energy and enjoy spending time outside when it is warm.  I have coats of all kinds to wear that nice people sent me.  Thank you folks for not giving up on me and your prayers.

 

 

 

 

12/01/12:  This week I went to the vet for some medical work.  The skin scraping showed no mange mites and the treatment worked.  I also had bloodwork that revealed my thyroid to be very low so I have started medicine for that.  They also found out I have heartworms that will need to be treated when I am healthy again and I know that day will come.  My eyes are much clearer now, my hair is growing back and my tail is wagging.  Tom & Sharon brought me the raw diet dog food and will help me to get nutrition faster.  I have to say I sure do love it and eat every bite.  Folks have sent me some very nice sweaters to wear so I can stay outside longer and enjoy the yard a little more.  I have receive blankets for my crate and it’s like I have my own fan club.

11/24/12:  It isn’t easy to get a picture of me outside because I pretty much go out to do my business and back inside where it is warm.  As you can see my hair is growing back and my legs are now covered.  It kind of itches though like when a man is growing a beard or a woman needs to shave her legs.  My skin is now a very nice pink and no longer red and angry anymore.  All my life no one has cared about me and now there are so many folks that have donated toward my care.  I can’t believe so many people want to help me get well.  Thank you so much for this warm bed I have and mostly for the love you send.  It must be Christmas Magic!

11/3/12:  There is no doubt that I am on my way to a better life and in the best of hands with you folks.  Can you believe I have my very own bed to curl up in and keep me warm?  So far I have been wormed and treated for the mange.  You can see the dead skin has started to fall off and although it looks pink and irritated the mites are dying.  I don’t itch near as much and starting to feel better.  We will just have to wait for the medicine to take its course.  As I get healthier I will receive the rest of my medical treatment like vaccinations and spay.  I’m a sweet little girl and no problem with the housetraining.  I am amazed at all the folks that care about me and helping with my care.  Thank you for saving my life.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

10/30/12:  I know I’m not pretty to look at right now because the sarpotic mange has really taken a toll on my skin.  I am so lucky to be here at the rescue and it because when I saw this little girl I took a chance and went to her for help.  She wasn’t put off by my looks or scared of me.  She and her father called the rescue and gave me a ride.  Last night the temperature went down to 36 and I would not have made it through the night.  Therefore my new name is Taylor after the one who saved me.  Please check in to see my progress and me become beautiful and healthy again.  If you would like to help with my care just hit that donate button.

12/10/12:  Finally I am ready to go home with Judy and Bo.  They adopted me four months ago but I had to have heartworm treatment first and then I had the surprise litter of puppies.  They have been checking in to see how I am doing and visiting when they could.  I sure was glad to see them today and ready to start my new life just asCashmereand Angus have.  I know I have hit the good life because they have adopted many collies from the rescue over the years.  It was really my lucky day when I went to that animal shelter and Mikki came to pick me up.  I know Kitty and Diesel will find good homes just as we have.  Thanks everyone so much.

 

 

On Sunday the 21st I gave the rescue folks a big surprise when I delivered four puppies.  I was adopted some time ago but had to have my heartworm treatment then be spayed before leaving.  Well the spay appointment has been canceled at least for a few months any way.  Miss Jean let my new people know they now have grandchildren.  I am a single mother and their papa was a rolling stone, wherever he laid his hat was his home.  You know the song and the rescue folks have no idea what breed their dad was.  Here are pictures of the kids with two girls and two boys at 4 days old and I hope they find good homes like I have.  Please check back to see them change over the coming weeks.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

10/20/12:  My name is Greta and I a three year old collie girl that was at the animal shelter.  I am the most gentle, kind and easy going girl you will ever meet.  There is not an aggressive bone in my body and not much on barking unless I need to go to the bathroom.  I love all humans big or small and great with the other dogs.  I had a light case of heartworms that have been treated and will be spayed this coming week.  I am housetrained and crate trained but do not need a crate preferring a doggie bed.
