<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>We just got a new foster girl, keeping the numbers
here steady at 10 (Bella Andrea got adopted last week.) This poor
thing--Ginger--is 6 yrs old, her spine protrudes and hips stick out, and she has
tapeworms, a burst cyst, is in heat, and is so heavily loaded with heartworms
that the positive line came up before the control line did on the snap
test. I have never seen ticks as large as the ones I pulled off her,
either. She's been an outside dog her whole life and came to the shelter
with a 4 mo old bassedor that she gave birth to. She was excrutiatingly
sad Thursday when I went to see her at the shelter--especially so when I had to
leave without taking her with me (I was at work and just ran down there.)
So, I picked her up early Friday morning. She LOVES being in my daughters'
bedroom! I found her tucked up next to Juliana last night when I went to
bed :) </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>We can't spay her or get that cyst removed until
she can withstand anesthesia, so she starts HW treatment Monday. Please
sling some drool that this sweet girl heals and finds a home.</FONT></DIV>
