GOING HOME, AND PUPDATE...
THESE ARE TWO WONDERFUL ADOPTIONS. FIRST IS TANGO AND HER PUPDATE.
TANGO WAS BROUGHT BACK TO US AFTER 6 YEARS. SHE'S THE ONE WE HAD THE LARYNGEAL PARALYSIS SURGERY DONE. HER NEW MOM HAD A DOG WITH THE SAME SYMPTOMS AND HAS DONE A LOT OF RESEARCH ON THIS. TANGO NOW LIVES WITH 3 CATS AND HER LOVING MOM AND LIVING THE LIFE SHE'S ALWAYS DESERVED.
NEWMAN CAME TO US OVER A YEAR AGO FROM THE HUMANE SOCIETY OF YUMA. HE WAS A VERY SCARED DOG AND HAS MADE HUGE PROGRESS WITH US. HIS NEW FAMILY CONSISTS OF THREE OTHER SMALL DOGS, AND TWO LOVING MOMS THAT WILL SPOIL HIM AND LET HIM BE WHO HE IS.
HAPPY TAILS TO OUR LITTLE MAN NEWMAN AND OUR SPECIAL GIRL TANGO.
Hi Liz & Nina,
Our girl is settling in nicely. I've attached a few pictures including one of my cat, Ebony, checking her out.
I had problems with the name Tango - it never slipped easily off my tongue. So, I did a little research on dog names and thought Lulu, described as a "playful spirit", fit her. Also, it was the only name among those I considered that she reacted positively to. So, she now answers to Lulu.
She hasn't had any problems eating or drinking. She continues to ignore the cats. They still approach her cautiously and aren't getting much closer than 2 feet. If she so much as sighs, they scurry back to the safety of the bedroom. I'm sure as they get used to her, they will become friends.
Lulu follows me around and is happy to sleep on whatever dog bed or sofa is nearest to me. 🙂 She also enjoys exploring her yard. She is pretty quiet - ignores the doorbell and doesn't bark in reply to the neighbors' dogs.
I have a question about her date of birth. On the AARF vaccination record it's listed as 3/24/2019. On the surgery paperwork, it's listed as 2/11/2019. Do you know which is correct?
I'm taking Lulu for her first visit to my vet, Dr Julia Lynn at Kachina Animal Hospital, on Wednesday. This is mostly just a meet and greet and to get her registered with them.
I updated the info on the microchip and have AARF Animal Rescue listed as an additional contact. My vet is also listed.
I ordered a Wisdom Panel DNA kit to see what breed(s) she might be since the various paperwork shows cattle dog/mastiff, great Dane mix, and Pitbull mix. I'll let you know when I get the results, probably in a month or so.
I am so happy I found Lulu. Thank you for the great care you took of her and take of all your rescues. I'm sure there's a special place in heaven for you!
Lynn
