Judy Arrived @ Tailends 7th April 2007

Judy arrived at Tailends on Saturday 7th April from Rotherham Dog Rescue. She is an elderly Labrador who has come from a grim situation in Huddersfield dog pound where she was very depressed. She seemed to be very unhappy on arrival and we had difficulty getting her out of the car. However once she was in the garden with the other dogs her tail started to wag and her eyes lit up. She went for a little walk, ate a good supper of fresh chicken and vegetables and then curled up on a comfortable bed to sleep. Every now and again she opens her eyes and looks at me and then falls off to sleep again. She is seriously overweight and has large callouses on her legs and sore patches on her tail. Her ears are very mucky but this should be dealt with quickly. It would seem that she has been kept outside in kennels during her life and has had little exercise, but she is now very appreciative of some home comforts. It is a joy to see her stretched out relaxed and happy on a nice thick duvet. Judy has various health issues and is being treated with antibiotics and analgesics. She has really brightened up and is now happily enjoying sunny walks and playing with toys.
