ED (pronounced Eee-Dee, an
abbreviation for Emma Dog)
ED came into our care in early
February. She is a very affectionate and gentle collie who loves nothing more
than to be close to her family. She is perfectly content to lie on her bed,
watching her foster Mom cook meals in the kitchen. ED is a senior who still
loves her daily walks - 30 minute walks are no problem. She is fine with cats
and gets along with other dogs. Young dogs that bounce around in front of her
are gently told (with a little growl) that she is no longer into this!
In terms of her health, she has
been fully checked by our vet, and her blood work and urinalysis have come back
normal. ED has an incontinence problem, which is managed by daily doses of
propalin. She will be seeing our vet again shortly for a full dental cleaning
and extraction of a few bad teeth.
ED would be a wonderful
companion to a family who would like the gentle and calm nature of a senior
collie. She will be available for adoption after her dental treatment has been
completed.
Update: Emma
Dog has been placed in permanent foster care with one of OCR’s wonderful
fosters. She is living in a one level home with easy access to a shaded back
yard from the kitchen. She sleeps a good part of the day on her bed (with head
on her pillow!) in the kitchen. She is still walking 30 minutes twice daily.
Emma loves the fact that someone is at home with her all day, and she can
readily receive affection from her humans any time she asks!
OCR is extremely grateful to the people
who have opened their home to this senior, who so desperately deserved to spend
her remaining days in comfort and with dignity.
