A Christmas story about an Angel, told by Angel
"Hi my name is Angel, humans tell me im a pretty girl. Some time a while a go my family took me to a place surrounded by lots of other dogs. They used to bark and shout at me so I would put my paws over my ears and waited for my family to come back and collect me. I waited a long time and one day the lovely lady told me they wouldnt be coming back, but it wouldnt be long before I was snapped up as I was so beautiful.
I waited and waited, I just wanted to be back by the cozy fire and playing in my garden. The days turned to months and eventually I joined in with the other dogs shouting. I thought if I shouted loud enough my forever home might hear me.
The lovely lady spoiled me in the kennels and gave me lots of treats and toys. She said they were from something called a wishlist……..I wondered if she could put a Home for Angel on that list.
One days the kennel lady noticed my ribs starting to show. I heard her tell the rescue she was worried as I was loosing weight but still eating lots. I was always hungry I love my food.
She took a trip to visit someone called the vet who was also concerned. I was poked and prodded and had blood taken from my leg.
I was a very good girl but kept getting thinner. The nice lady put a cozy coat on me to help me keep warm.
I heard her say the vet man had ruled out EPI (whatever that means?), Cushings (I remember them from my sofa days) and a tumour (that sounded scary). The vet man scratched his head and didnt know what was wrong with me.
The ladies spent lots and lots of money on me, I heard them say they wouldn't give up looking for answers. So they took me on a road trip, I quite enjoyed that.
This time I got to meet a lady vet to see if she had any ideas - to save me I heard them say. The lady vet suggested a new expensive diet and some pills to help reduce my stress. The food was tasty and i started to chill out a bit in the kennels.
I think my heart was broken waiting on my humans coming back.
Today my weight is great so they tell me, my bones are not poking out anymore and they ladies no longer have a worried look on their faces when they see me.
Now I just need to find myself my forever family and everything will be perfect.
I would just like to thank the lovely people who have been looking after me, they spent lots of money making sure I got well again and it would be really good if you could sponsor me on the rescue's website to let them know how wonderful you think they are.
Thanks form the bottom of my doggie heart Angel "
