Meet Tessie. I had the good fortune to have her come into my life 2 years ago this December. My fiance and I were at the animal shelter looking for a cat...........................
Then he saw Tessie. He pointed her out to me and I noticed she was coughing. Not just a usual kennel cough type of thing. This cough was deep in her chest and I could hear wheezing. I notified the shelter and they informed me that they "hoped it wasn't anything more serious then kennel cough or she'd probably be put down." She came home with me that night.
She was filthy, having been surrendered by a greeder that had kept her confined to a kennel almost her entire life. She was forced to lie in her own filth and it took 5 baths to get her completely clean. The first 2 baths we gave her the water ran almost black.
The next day she was taken to the vet and had double pneumonia that was severe enough to require hospitalization. Since then she has recovered and become the light of my life.
Here are some pics... enjoy <3
