| Adopted
September 2005 Mama Lucy was a 2-3
year old female. She was a small, beautiful,
baby girl.
This poor
thing
has seen it all and didn't even attempt to do
anything but get more cuddles. We weren't sure
about her story, but her alleged history was
that she showed up very skinny at a
rural household who tied her up and fed her. That
household was then moving into town and couldn't
take her with them. In this same amount of time
she managed to become pregnant and deliver a very
large litter of puppies.
Still
excruciatingly thin, this mama was now free of
her kids and looking to have a happy ending to
her
sad story. However, once again, her bad luck only
gets worse. Too often we have recited these words:
this dog is heartworm positive. She weighed
only 51 lbs, but the veterinarian ruled that she
didn't have enough muscle to safely treat her for
the heartworms. We went ahead with the treatment
with the help of a lot of loving sponsors and one
loving forever home.
