So please meet Mattie. I have no idea how old she is, or who gave her that name, but she has her forever home now.
I decided to give her a name all her own, and named her Matilda. I still call her Mattie but also her new name. She was once used for breeding until she got too old. Then someone adopted her and had her spayed. Somehow she ended up at this lady’s daughter’s home. After a year, the daughter died and this lady took Mattie in for a short while. Her granddaughter then took her in.
Poor Mattie been already in 5 homes. Then the granddaughter said she didn’t have time for her. The grandmother contacted me, and I agreed to take her. She was groomed before I got there and it was horrible! I was told she was completely covered with fleas, and that most of her hair was matted. She was shaved just about down to her skin, and had big hotspots on all four legs, the back at the base of the tail, under her armpits and many more. It was so hard to see her like that.
So she’s with me now since last Friday the 21st. She’s been getting Benadryl for all the Owie itchies, and has been wearing pajamas so she can’t fuss with them. It seems she has been kept pretty comfortable.
So she’s doing so well! She is the sweetest little girl ever! People can’t help but love her. Tremendously gentle and unassuming. I am so happy to have her, and I’ll probably never know her age! Most of her teeth are gone, so it’s hard to tell.
So please celebrate with me, the coming home of this gem.
