Hi everyone.
Just wanted to let everyone that is lining up to adopt me that I am on
medical hold because Sheltie rescue is going to fix my other hip.
Whoohoo!. My surgery is Feb 28th. .
If you would like to send a contribution to SRCI to
help with my medical costs click on the paypal button or snail mail contributions to SRCI P.O. BOX 823 LAPEL IN 46051.
Well,
I must confess I got that name because I howl. When I get excited I
like to talk and howl. A lot of things scare me. It would be best if I
had a secure fenced yard and someone that didn't mind going out with
me. I probably should not be around small children as they are scary to
me. I have learned how to play with toys since I have been in my foster
home. Mom get down on the floor and plays with me. It is great fun. I
do not like to be left alone. Too scary. Mom has promised that we are
going to go to class and a lot of other new things. Whoowhoo.
February 10th
Sorry I haven't written in a long time. I
have very big news to tell you about me. At my foster home I would jump
up on the couch and cry out in pain. Sometimes when my foster Mom would
pet my behind I would cry out in pain. So she took me to Dr. Baker at
Bargersville Vet Hospital, who took x-rays of my hips. I have Hip
Dysplasia. My right hip was really really bad. Because I am so young,
Sheltie Rescue of Central Indiana took me to see Dr. Lee at Northwood
Vet Hospital in Anderson. He took a look at the x-rays and said he could
fix me. So Mom and Aunt Jean left me there so I could have surgery the
next day.
It has been about 7 weeks since surgery and it worked. I still limp a
little but I am jumping up on the couch again. I am also running the
fence to play with the neighbor furkids. I am on constant patrol for the
squirrels and the big black birds. I also sound the alarm when a
neighbor walks his doggy.
Mom says that I probably should not go to a home with children under
8-10 years old. Smaller children might forget about my hips and hurt me.
I am still just a little tender.

Mom thinks I am beautiful and is sending
new pictures to prove it. The first picture on the website is my first
day and still scared picture.
March 26th
I am recovering from my second surgery
and doing pretty well. I still do not like to put any weight on the
second foot and do a lot of hopping around the house but when I run the
fence playing with the neighbor dogs I forget and run just fine on all
four feet. I go to see Dr. Cindy for physical therapy once or twice a
week. She also gives me deep massages that make me howl.
May 17th
Hi everybody.
I am ready to find my new home. Mom has taken me to some events and I
did fine. I am walking well on my new hips and can run like the wind and
do stairs fine too. So here are the rules for my adoption. No small
children and a fenced yard is a must. Mom says I need to tell everyone
that I am very vocal and bark and howl. I am okay with other doggies and
cats.
Waiting for my forever home...Chewy
