I have a success story of my own. When my husband and I fist moved into our apartment, we knew we had to get a dog. We both love animals so much! We went to the local shelter in search of the new addition to our family. As soon as I pulled into the parking lot I saw her. The local school host a walk day- they take each of the dogs for a walk- and I had pulled in as one of the kids was taking her for her walk. She looked so sweet, peaceful and happy. I went ahead in a took a look around, but I knew already which dog I wanted to take home with me. I waited for her to get back from her walk and began to play with her. She was so nervous and scared, but I knew deep down she was just what we were looking for. At the shelter she went through her first set of shots and I was free to take her home. Before we left I wanted to know her story. Who brough her there and why? The man working told me a couple had just dropper her off with no explanation. The one thing that he did know was that they called her "Roo". So, Roo and I went home. She jumped right into my front seat and sat down. When we got home, she was a little nervous, but realized that she was out of the shelter. Much to our suprise, she was trained already. She let us know what she wanted to go to the bathroom or outside. She let us know what she was hungry. One thing we did notice were small knots on her legs, neck and sides. We went to the doctor, he checked her for cancer, but cleared her! We have had Roo now for a little over a year and come to learn more and more about her. The knots on her body has disappeared. The vet thinks they may have been from malnutrition. We have moved from our apartment into a home with a fenced in back yard, perfect for Roo to run and play in! She knows what to do when she wants in and out, when she is hungry, when we have visitors. She has become a very important part of our family and we do not know what we would do without her! We now encourage our friends and neighbors to "save" a dog from the shelter! If you would like to see pictures of my special princess Roo, you can check them our on my webspage!
My cat is a torti with very long hair who is constantly itching and scratching herself, also pulls her hair out and has many hairballs. What can I do? Also, she has a problem with her ears. I have taken her to vet and they gave me Corium-20 for ear cleanser, but it doesn't seem to be working. Also, I would like to give her a bath, but don't know what to use.
Please help. Claudia
