11/24/09: Tiya has not had anyone to love and care for her
in a long time. We know this because x-rays showed she had a
broken leg about a year ago. It was never set and just had to
heal on it's own. It healed quite well under the circumstances,
especially since she was carrying a litter of pups during the
healing process. (Don't you just want to strangle some
people). She limps but the vet said with good nutrition
and doggie supplements it should not give her problems.
However, Tiya will know her exercise limitations and they should be
honored.
11/11/09: Tiya was timid at the shelter but learned to trust
quickly. In just a few days she blossomed into a happy,
social girl. She loves being in the house and made herself
right at home by our feet. She was so comfortable, she even
took a nap. She learned the doggie door but prefers the 'in'
direction as opposed to the 'out'. She did enjoy exploring the
property. She has no desire to run off. She would keep
looking back to be sure she could see me and responded to my call. She is about 2 1/2 or 3 years old.
I believe she was a livestock guardian and would now like to be a
people guardian. She has been fine with most other dogs, but just
like people, we can't like everyone. I would like to see her be a guardian for a couple or single
person who would like a sense of security and a loyal companion who
she would give her love to, unconditionally. |
