Lady, a lady with a future!

Above, Lady, Mogley and Bella get acquainted.
Two nights ago we wrote a quick "tease" that Lady, our newest foster, had arrived.   Lady had a very bad night with us.  She was 6-7 years old, and had just been spayed.   She was still reacting to the anesthesia and she threw up all night long.   By the next morning the bi-peds panicked when she could not even take a lap of water without throwing up.  Her stomach was making loud noises and she was very lethargic.   The Official Golden Retriever Rescue Vet opens at 7:00, they had her there for a follow up.

Lady spent the day and night with the Vet, then with Mary.   Her stomach seems to have settled down and she is eating and drinking without problems.   This morning Lady came back to us.   She feels better this time, she is even acting like a real dog, running and sniffing things, playing with us, and exploring her new home. 

She is such a sweetheart.   She was abandoned along a road in a rural area and she found a local farm house for shelter.   The farm family loved her, but they had several family pets already, but they did know about Golden Retriever Rescue of the Rockies (GRRR) and Lady was soon on her way.   Somewhere along the way she had become foster mother to three ten week old black lab/mix puppies, they were not hers, but they attached themselves to her.    The puppies went to a separate home that is better equipped to handle them.  

Lady has two very distinct features.   She is extremely skinny, from wandering abandoned before she found shelter, she weighs only 51 pounds.  She also has lower front teeth that come forward and give her a perpetual grin with a slightly threatening look as her teeth are sticking out front.   It does not seem to bother her, she can still chew treats with the best of them. 

She is well leash broken, she obeys commands, and she is well house broken.   She gets along well with other dogs and cats.  Like many abandoned dogs, we don't know her real name, but she responds to almost anything you say to her and Lady seems to be a good fit.  We will give her a few days to recover before we post her story on the adoption page, she has been through a lot lately and she needs to relax and grow stronger (and fatter).
