I have 2 beautiful rescue dogs, both girls. The youngest is 7 now and I've no idea what she is. She is a real mix up. She only has one layer of fur, is sken (sp) eyed and has a hernia from being kicked on the puppy farm. When I got her she was about 7 months old but skin and bone and had chewed all the fur from her tail with stress. It has taken time for her to trust me but now she follows me everywhere. The other dog mothers her and cleans her. They adore each other and I am totally smitten with them both. They add untold value to my life. If I knew how to post a picture of my tatty but adorable girls then I would.
Edit- figured out how to add the picture, it's a few posts below this one :-)
