I never thought we would have six dogs, but it has been an easy transition from the pack of 3 we originally had, to the current "6-pack". Miss Tillie will be 12 years old in August. She was found wandering the railroad tracks in Congress, AZ in March. A brief stay at the local shelter, then several weeks with a great foster family (Jan & Bud) have worked to help return her to good health and happiness. She is a doll, and is very bright. She has blended into the pack without so much as a growl from anyone.
She is in the final stages of recovery from heartworm, and is a bit arthritic, but we'll work on both of those. Figgy couldn't even jump on the bed when she came to us, and now she runs and jumps like a pup. As a matter of fact, her age was recently guessed to be about 4 by a Greyhound group. They were shocked to hear that she is really pushing 9!
So, welcome Miss Tillie. As Debbie so well put it, "It wasn't much difference to us, adding one more...but it sure made a difference to her!"
