| Biography: Update: Nala went to the rainbow bridge today.
Nala had been an outdoor dog most of her life, and tethered for the past 9 months, so we didn't know what to expect on introducing her to indoor life. Not to worry! Nala is thrilled to be enjoying the air-conditioned comfort of her foster home. She promptly adopted the futon in the den as her favorite place to sack out. For sure, being an inside dog with canine and feline siblings definitely agrees with her! Her very full blond coat had to be clipped short due to heavy matting, but Nala seems to enjoy her new hairdo. She is a very affectionate girl who seems to be everybody's best friend and is not shy about coming up for pets. She knows "sit" and "down." Does not jump up on people. Nala also walks well on a leash and is a perfect angel on rides in the car. Nala may be a senior dog, but she still has plenty of spring in her step! She had her full check up last week, and Vet said that if she hadn't seen her slightly cloudy eyes, a sign of early cataracts, common in older dogs, she'd never have guessed Nala to be 12 1/2 years old! Actually, she is quite a character, and very smart. She loves to "help" her foster dad with gardening and yard work, and is doing her best to catch a resident mole out in the back yard. Go Nala! Update: One of those wish I had the camera incidents: the other day she tried to catch a very beautiful, large butterfly out in the back yard, and she nearly got him! Hilarious. She was jumping into the air and snapping to try and get him in her teeth. Then she stuck her head through the garden fence trying to snag him off a zinnia blossom. For the right person, Nala could bring much happiness into your life. | |
