Lady
Lady is a
beautiful 5-year-old female who came to us from a wonderful Good Samaritan in
San Antonio. After finding her collapsed along side the road, infested with
fleas and ticks, too dehydrated and near death to even stand up, the Good Sam
literally picked Lady up off ground and rushed her to the vet. Lady she spent
two weeks recuperating at the vet’s office where everyone thought she was a
great dog. The Good Sam loved her but didn’t have room in her home for Lady
because of all of her other beloved dogs and cats. Lady owes her life to this
outstanding woman and GRR is very thankful that she took the time to stop and
help this beautiful golden girl.
Lady
is doing well; she has a healthy appetite and has been an angel about taking her
remaining medications. She has a slight frame, but is a little plump, so we’re
working on trimming her down a bit. She has a beautiful, fluffy, coat, and loves
to sit and be brushed.
While she doesn’t appear to be an avid swimmer, she is great during baths. She
loves to go for short walks and she carries the leash in her mouth. Have you
seen the dogs on the hike-and-bike trails that always have a stick or ball in
their mouth? That would be Lady! She’ll walk ½ mile with a tennis ball in her
mouth and think nothing of it.
She loves to play with a tennis ball and will fetch it and bring it back if you
throw it out for her. Even when she’s resting on the floor, she’ll have a tennis
ball lying nearby. She also likes to occasionally sleep on her back, which makes
for a funny sight!
Lady loves our own golden and gets along perfectly with our cat.
She’s a bit of a counter surfer, and we’re working on this, as well as other
simple things she wasn’t taught along the way like “sit.” She has mastered
“stay,” and won’t try to follow you out the door if you ask her to stay put. She
sleeps on her dog bed on the floor in our room and will wait patiently for you
to let her out and feed her first thing in the morning.
Lady
is a beautiful golden, and very deserving of a wonderful new life. She has a
sweet and gentle disposition, she is gentle around people of all ages, does not
jump up on people (although may put her paw on your lap or arm if she’s looking
for a little pat on the head!), doesn’t get up on the furniture, is reliably
housebroken, and is a good roommate with the other animals in the house.
