Trinket-our little bauble! has crossed The Bridge
Hi ya'll,
I have some joyous news to share! A new baby is going to join Squirt and me in our home soon!
Her name is Trinket, she is a Chi/Pom mix we think, weighs around 4 lbs, is white with orange splotches and an absolute doll!!! They aren't sure of her age just yet, tho. She is currently in CA with our angel, Glynda, who rescued her and decided we would make a good home for her.
Trinket's former owners neglected her badly. She had glaucoma that was ignored til she went blind, leaving both her eyes to bulge painfully...then they dumped her at the shelter where she was ever so lucky to have had Glynda find her. Both her eyes are going to be removed; one already has been taken out and the other is coming out this week. Then after a recovery period, she will have a dental to remove a tooth or two, then spayed when they will also fix a hernia she has. After that, she gets to come HOME!!!
Glynda had told me she was just a love bug, wanting to just sit in your lap all the time. THEN after her eye was removed, they picked her up from the vet and the little scamp climbed up on the car console to go exploring in the back seat! She felt that much better after removing just one painful eye! Once she is done with all her procedures, there is no telling what kind of spirit will shine through!
Glynda has warned me that everyone who has seen her falls in love and wants her. Trinket is such a doll it's no wonder! Now Glynda can tell them all, "She has a mom waiting on pins and needles in ARK!"
Last nite I got to imagining her climbing around in that car and feeling so much better, I got all wiggly with joy! If I had a tail, it would have been slappin' my sides like crazy...but since I don't, just picture a Corgi butt waggin'! LOL
I will share pics of her later...I have some of her pre-surgery but don't want ya'll to pity her. So I will post some "before and after" later...just take my word, she is absolutely darling!
There are no words to explain what a true angel Glynda is. For those of you who don't know, she goes into shelters looking for those babies no one else would touch and takes them in. She and the rescue she works for love these precious souls back to life, making sure they get the vetting they need no matter what, and finding good forever homes for these once lost babies. If you want to see a great example of what they do, look in this section, Everything Else, for a topic on Willa and Webster. An amazing story brought about by our own amazing Glynda and the rescue she works with, Mutts N Stuff.
That we have been approved to take Trinket into our home and hearts moves me more than I can say. This one gesture from Glynda has brightened my little world beyond belief. Thank you, again, my friend, for the trust you have given me in placing Trinket with us. Tears of joy are a wonderful thing to experience.
Hugs,
Leslie and the girls - always.....OMG! more girls again!
