LAYLA #119

#119 LAYLA/#120 LUCY (Cocker Spaniels) Little Rock, AR - Austin, TX LAYLA #119 and LUCY #120, 2 year old, 30 pound, females, both black/white Cocker Spaniels joined driver, Sue W, in Little Rock, AR. Layla, along with her sister, Lucy, were rescued from a kill shelter and were going to their forever home in Austin, TX. Sue reports Layla and Lucy were a surprise. Expecting to receive two buff colored cockers like she'd seen before, both were beautiful black with white markings quite similar to a border collie. Stopping a little while later in Prescott, AR, Sue noticed Lucy was lying quite still on the floor, then noticed she was shivering. Sue immediately went back into the bunk. Layla was doing the same thing but laying on the bed. Sue sat down and wrapped her arms around both dogs and just sat with them, talking very calmly until they both stopped shaking. All they needed was a little TLC and reassurance everything was okay. The trip on to Rockwall was just fine. These two beautiful ladies were transferred to Anglie, a foster "Mom" for Cocker Spaniels, in Rockwall, TX, who will take them on to their new home in Austin, TX.

LADY #85

#85 LADY (Aus Shep Terrier) Nashville,TN -Visalia, CA LADY #85, a lovely Australian Sheperd Terrier mix, 11 y/o, 32#, was picked up in Nashville, TN, by Driver Lizzy C. Lady has had quite an adventure. While on vacation in Nashville, TN, the owner, Michael S, himself a trucker, suffered both a stroke and a heart attack. Before he would allow the EMTs to transport him to a hospital, he made them take down his information for Lady. Somehow in the mix, the information was lost by the EMTs and the motel staff told authorities Lady was a stray although she was left in the room. Lady was chipped but not registered. In the meantime, Michael had returned to Visalia and despaired of ever seeing Lady again. It took the Nashville pound 3-6 months to located the owner's aunt in Visalia, CA. Once the contact was made a flight was arranged to fly her home, but... at the last minute it was determined to be too hot in the plane and she was once again adrift. That's when we were contacted. Lizzy's traveling companion, Buddy, and Lady got along fabulously. Both loved their rawhides. Lady harassed Buddy by taking his rawhide if he became lax and didn't guard it. Lizzy met Michael at a rest area just north of Visalia, CA. Lady knew Michael immediately. Lizzy reports Lady's tail couldn't wrag fast enough. Even before Michael could get out of his vehicle, Lady was trying to get into his arms. One can only imagine what all Lady has thought and dispaired of over the months. But, she is now reunited with her lost loved one. She jumped into the passenger seat and sat there as if to say, "OK, Dad, let's go home." Then, she lavished many kisses on Lizzy.

Put on medication and a special diet, Louie responded immediately. Sue reports all her grandchidlren love the little guy, even her 2 y/o grandson would walk him.
