She's 11 years old and looks it. Greying muzzle, warty, lumpy, wonky hips, but one doesnt really see all that. One sees that happy tail, that beautiful face reaching up for touch, and the carefree body wiggle when she spots pretty much anyone. She wasnt that open when she came to live at my house. Its been a new and wondrous adventure for all of us; myself, my two little guys - Munchie and Mutley, also from Give a Dog a Bone - and her especially. After having led an unbelievably barren life...ONE VOLUNTEER AT GADAB

Why, yes, I have gained a few lbs. Thank you for asking. Skinny, skinny, skinny. Oh, skinny. That would be the first thing one noticed. The second would be her way of greeting pretty much anyone. An over-the-top, wheres-your-face-you-need-a kiss black whirl of a dog. Whats a collar? Whats a leash? WHEREs the food? And how do I get the food?
