Yesterday I adopted a senior lab mix, chained outside for most of her life, who is emaciated, deaf and heartworm positive. She is small, about the size of a Springer Spaniel, so I was slightly concerned about my boisterous labs and GSD's ....
My guys were amazing - I think they know she is sick, so very gently and slowly went to greet her, all wagging tails. What did they get for their trouble - snapped at
This girl (needs a name) is a little spitfire! Last night Spirit just looked at her wrong ... she trotted over to Spirit making a screeching/barking noise and grabbed hold of the side of Spirits face!! Spirit was more than capable of getting this invader off and causing significant damage, but just sat there with a somewhat panicked look on her face until I rescued her
And here was me thinking that introducing a sick senior would be easy
