also had some bad ones. I have one who is Granny I guess you are thinking, WHY would any one name their pet, Granny? Granny has a special story, she came to the shelter 6 years ago, right at the time I started working there. She was straved, no hair and I mean NO hair, she had broken toes, also cigeratte burns to her skin and had been very, very over-bred, not to mention one eye. At first we were going to euthanize her, because of her age, condition, health and expense. But when I kept her in my office all day and we had some little chats and she licked me and wagged her tail all day. Every time she heard a kind word she wagged her tail. Well, I just could not do it. With the help of a very wonderful and kind Vet. Dr. Sam Young, Granny made it. Granny is doing fine, she now lives a good life in my home. Granny sleeps alot, we think she is about 10 yrs old or maybe more. Granny went to the shelter every day with me while, I worked there along with Gypsy, they are big buddies. Now, she is happy to lay and sleep and eat at home. Granny is one of the sweetest dogs I have ever had the pleasure of having in my life. Hopefully, I will have some pics of her up soon. Fonzie was my other Peke, there is a short
story of him on my pet memorial page.
