I just got a visit from Bodhi and my husband! They left yesterday and I already miss them. I am in Houston for business until December 31 and they are still in Dallas. Luckily i grew up here and get to stay with my parents, so it's like an extended family reunion.
The reason I am posting all of this here is that my parents just adopted a new doggie. Well, actually they rescued her and she adopted them. Isn't that how it usually happens? They were riding their motorcycles on the back roads behind their neighborhood. My mom passed her lying in a ditch and she turned around and went back to see her. I'll just let the pics do the description...
I have never seen a dog so skinny and still be alive. Her name is Sweetie, and she really is. She is eating and pooping regularly. My parents took her to the vet yesterday and she has intestinal worms, heart worms, fleas and is obviously mal-nourished. We are working on the intestinal worms and fattening her up first and then we'll take a look at the heartworm problem. I have heard that there has been pretty big advances in heartworm treatments, and that they are not quite so much a death sentence anymore. Is this true? I dearly hope so.
That scarf looks a little too rodeo-ie!
