Lamby

Lamby (aka Ms. piggy) didn’t used to look like this. She was a pleasantly plump super sweet and affectionate little bichon girl who at that time was about 4-5 years old. And weighed about 13 pounds. I know. I adopted her out to an elderly lady 5 years ago. The elderly woman at that time was in pretty good shape and active. Unfortunately she must have gone downhill and induldged Lamby with who knows what for years until she passed away. She assured me (and I had talked to the daughter) that should something happen to her, Lamby would be well cared for. Well, I guess her daughter had a memory lapse and was trying to GIVE AWAY Lamby to anyone walking in to East Valley Shelter one afternoon! One of the shelter workers confiscated the dog, scanned her and found the chip which was registered back to us. I immediately picked up poor Lamby and took her to the vet where she had a complete workup including blood panel, xrays, urinalysis, etc. Everything is pretty good for the most part except that she needs to lose weight to take the load off her back and she has a mild intermittent cough which is due to a trachea condition caused by walking her on a leash (as opposed to a harness) and her pulling. We also did Lamby’s teeth which are now in good shape.

It’s been a couple of months that Lamby has been in foster care and she’s lost quite a bit of weight. We had to shave her down since her coat was such a mess. All we want for Lamby is a FOREVER PERMENANT home for her to spend the rest of her happy and wiggly-butt days. This precious little girl has a lot of spunk and years left and deserves to spend them with someone to love. Lamby is coming to Calgary soon from the US!
