| SKITTLES |
UPDATE 3/4/08 -Hi, I adopted skittles in February, we only had her for a very short time but we fell
in love with her very quickly. She loved my kids and my husband and liked to sleep with them. I have
some wonderful pictures as well that we will always cherish. I wanted to let you all know what
happened to her. On 2-28-08 my kids were outside playing and she bolted by my husband and ran
outside and was hit by a truck and killed. My family is absolutely devastated. We had had our 2
previous dogs for 12yrs with no problem an would have never expected this . I am feeling so guilty that
this has happened. We do hope to adopt again very soon and will never let this happen again. I hope
everyone understands how sorry I am.
1/12/08 - Skittles' nose is still a little snotty. Her skin is very prone to abrasion. She comes in from
outside with something new bleeding all the time. That is why it is not wise (beside the continuous snotty
nose) that she play rough with the big boys. They play tackle, not flag football all the time. She just
needs some more time to be ready for normal life. We are set up with separate runs, outside kennels,
and a room for her.
1/11/08 - I brought Skittles to the vet yesterday. She needs one more month before she can get
spayed. She has another round of antibiotics and a wormer, (now for three days and then three weeks
from now for three days). It is going to take her months to gain her weight back and she has very thin
skin. She is being quaratined from the other five dogs because of her kennel cough. She is desperate to
play and be with someone all the time.
12/29/07 - This little girl named Skittles by the shelter should be called Bambi. She is very, very sweet
and gentle. She has the look of a baby. Her markings are just perfect. Her black mask extends
symmetrically around each eye. Her ears have slightly darker markings to blend with her perfect little
face. Just the toes on each foot have white fur. Her nature is relaxed, affectionate and calm. She has
had a rough go of it. The poor baby came in very thin and with an extreme respiratory infection. After a
vet visit and plenty of antibiotics she is on the mend. Now she is eating well, chewing bones and wanting
affection I can't image what went wrong for this angel. She is living with 5 other dogs, although hasn't
had a chance to play yet. You can tell she is dying to get in the group. She has learned to accept the
crate and goes in willingly. No negative behaviors, no aggression what so ever. Willing to please, get
better, gain lots of weight and go to her new home.
12/22/07 FROM SOME OF SKITTLES' TRANSPORT VOLUNTEERS:
"She is a very sweet, gentle girl despite being skin and bones, having the worst case of a runny nose I
have ever seen and a really bad crusty nose. I am positive Maureen will nurse her back to health. She is
going to make a fine addition to a family one day." - Cindy
"OH MY GOD! What a sweetie! She didn't bark once. I'm so not used to that. She definately needs
about 20 pounds." - Stevan
