My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

6/17/07 - Penny had her surgery and is doing well.

4/25/07 - Update on Penny: She has bladder stones and will need surgery soon. They are waiting for some more tests to get back from the lab. She will have a dental done at the same time. I hope and pray that she is strong enough to withstand the surgery.

No heart worms though! The vet tech said she was snapping and biting at them. I tried to warn them. When they brought her out to me her little tail just went to wagging. The more she is with me the more her personality comes out. She is a feisty one and was playing a little with me last night. I put her little kennel in her room this morning because she seems to like it. When I did she ran right in it, went to the back for me to close the door as if to say, "OK, I'm ready lets go" She was so cute, I hated to leave her behind.

4/22/07 - This is Penny! I picked her up from animal control yesterday morning as she was to be PTS on Monday, 4/23/07. She is elderly, probably 10-12 years old; not sure until she goes to the vet on Tuesday.

She does seem to have a cold or some other upper respiratory infection. Her teeth are horrible and most likely she will lose a lot of them.

The shelter said that she was snippy and picked her up with a towel like she was going to bite their hand off. Poor baby had messed in her kennel and it was caked on her legs.

I don't know how long she was her own but she's had some trauma in her life. She was a little snippy with me but the poor girl is scared to death. She is starting to come around and trust me more.

Soaking wet she only weighs 3 1/2 lbs. Tiny little angel!!

Any donations towards her veterinary care will be so appreciated!
