Amazing Brody, the Blind and Beautiful, 3-Legged Happy Dog! - ADOPTED!! Thanks Peggy :-)
Once upon a time a beautiful little white furball was born, half Husky and half Australian Shepherd. Over the next few years this little girl grew up tough, lost her right rear leg and became blind in both eyes, was turned in to the shelter, adopted out, then found herself unwanted again after biting the family rabbit - something every one of our doggies would do.
That's when we met this sweetie Brody, even as her few earthly belongings were handed over, we were immediately making friends, and she walked confidently forth, tail high and wagging and we fell in love with her. :-) Brody settled into our van for the long ride home, comfortable and soon sleeping; Brody knew she was safe now.
We placed Brody in her own bedroom, as we were told she didn't get along with other doggies. Brody met Hound Houdini Day One and they are still fast friends, Val and Brodie and blind Roscoe often sleep together, Brodie has walked tandem with toughies Xinda and Gretel, waited out storms (she's terrified of them) with Roscoe and Buffy and Peanut-the-Nut, and when outside the rough Hippy is her fence neighbor with no issues. Still, unlike some of our pack, Brody does prefer humans.
With humans Brody is a total love, she so enjoys attention and interaction, petting and loving and gives great kisses. Brody is also very smart and ALWAYS happy with her beautiful tail high in joy. Brody is house-trained, walks perfectly on leash, has the most beautiful thick fur, is totally healthy and UTD on shots/preventatives, and has an amazing ability to "map" areas so rarely bumps in to things. Brody sails up and down stairs and loves walks, playing outside, her chewies and squeakies, cuddling up with you, eating and sleeping.
Brody is missing a leg and her vision yet she is not handicapped - Brody is ALWAYS happy and positive. What Brody is really missing is her Furever Home that she can belong and thrive in - is that you? If you'll provide this angel Brody a lifetime good home, you will be loved forever by Brody, and that is a beautiful reality. Please enjoy Brody pics and email for videos and thank you for considering Brody. :-)~
Harmony has a Furever Home with Amanda and Jacob!!! Yeah! :-)~
Harmony is a Miniature Pinscher, blind and diabetic and a very happy girl! Harmony is energetic, loves giving kisses, curling up with you (or in a blanket or her kennel) and enjoys her walks. Harmony would literally be happy cuddling with her human 24-hours a day - she is a lovey, this one. Harmony gets along well with our entire pack, has tons of personality and is a positive and happy girl.
Harmony was nearly euthanized by her past human, then our vet's office called and asked if we could take her in. She's been fully vetted, HW- and on HW preentative and her diabetes is completely under control requiring 2 shots daily. Harmony is completely blind yet is extremely smart and has mapped our two homes and yards out, goes up and down stairs easily and travels about comfortably.
Harmony now has a Furever Home and family with Mandy and Jacob and their pack. We will always love Harmony and are thankful for all the joy she brought to our pack and family.
Macey (Zihna)
On May 2, 2010 I carried perfect Macey for the last time in this world, to a backyard burial site, and now she is waiting, playing at Rainbow Bridge.
Val and I are so thankful to each of you for your support and especially to those who brought Macey to us: Danielle, Colleen & Karen who facilitated Macey to BDRA, Kim for noticing an issue during transport and keeping her in VA (which allowed Andrew to go to Karen & Eric and on to a Forever Home). Kim and Val then spent a Sunday transporting this sweet girl back home to us.
Though a BDRA doggie, Macey had good vision; she was mostly deaf and had neurological issues and learning disabilities. Macey truly was at home and we were perfect for her. Val has a deaf sister and a daughter, Kayla, that passed away at 16 from heart failure and also had some issues that Macey faced. So - though not blind at all - Macey through BDRA found herself in our home, the one right place in the world for her.
That same day, I did a write-up for Macey's adoption page and we laughed about it, knowing Macey would not be adopted - too many issues. Macey would live all her life with us and Val was already figuring what to do next winter as Macey just loved being outdoors all day and would pout and whine when kept in.
Of course we built her a special pen, placed along a tree line for shade plus covered too. Macey would play there, with us or alone, sometimes with Mama Buffy or neighbor doggie Rascal. She loved to lie low, ready to pounce on her prey - us! Macey enjoyed her rawhides, stuffies and being loved on. It took awhile, yet she gave such good kisses and loved the ritual of nighttime loving before bed, a loving she received each and every night ... good for her and even better for us.
All of us will pass, though we know not when. Some will have long lives, others like Macey short ones. We can only hope to really have lived ... Macey really did live. Macey played, she was happy, she loved us and we loved Macey. Macey knew she was home here and fit right in to our pack of misfits, defectives and cast-offs. Macey was a Bassim and a BDRA doggie and again Val and I thank each of you for helping make that true. Please enjoy lovely Macey's pictures, attached.
