I met an angel on Friday and his name is Trey.
I had made it as far as the church before I collapsed. The temperature was over 100 degrees and the humidity seemed the same. I had just about given up…. I had walked as far as I could go. If I was going to die, let me die at church. I have no idea why I was there. I’ve had puppies, but I don’t know where they are either.
Trey was cutting the grass at the church and when he saw me and he wondered if I would survive. He had to get me cooled down and out of the heat.
Trey took me to his daughter Haley’s house and it was great. Haley took me to her vet and got me stable. It was wonderful to have food and water to drink. Haley told me I was beautiful and she held me tight. She cried while I shook from fear. I seem to be scared of everything ~ just touching me makes me shake.
Haley knew that I needed more than she could give me. I was the first Bulldog she had been around, so she reached out to rescue for help. And help came and I know my life will never be the same.
Dr. Larsen said I was severely underweight and dehydrated. She told me I have a heart murmur and it could be from dehydration, anemia and my lack of nutrition. Dr. Larsen is going to reevaluate me once I gain weight. She believes I’m young ~ between 2 and 3 years old.
I am so thankful for Trey, Haley and for rescue and that my days of wandering are over. I am a living, breathing, walking miracle. I’m so glad I was saved.
9/6/22 Update: I’ve been in my foster home for a week. I’m still a bit unsure of this place, but I will say it’s better than the streets!
I get three very generous meals a day and I’m already starting to get a little belly! I’ve had sardines, meat balls, wet food, dry food, peanut butter… and so many treats, I can’t even remember.
I am very camera shy, so getting good pictures is a bit challenging. Foster Mom says that’s OK and that in time, I will learn to love the camera. Foster Mom says she will help me learn to enjoy attention.
I am scared of humans… scared of what they are doing and what they are holding, I try my best to blend into the floor. I love my kennel and I prefer to stay there, but I will dart out to run outside, do my business, and then come right back in. Foster Mom says she’s going to help me gain my confidence with that too.
9/14/22 Update: Judah is thankful for her new life! She is slowly learning that good things can come from a human hand!
