Today
is Saturday, which is the hardest day for crossword puzzles. We
struggle with the Monday puzzle, to be fair. But you know who would be
great at crosswords (if she could hold a pencil)? Luna, our 9 year old
55 pound Pitbull. She LOVES puzzles. And, since Luna is so smart, she'd
probably know the answer to the clue "instrument that might contain
dried beans". It's a maraca, she'd shout, as she'd shake her stuffy to
demonstrate. What's a 5 letter word that means "find what you've been
missing?" ADOPT, obviously!
Luna was surrendered to a shelter
when her owner could no longer care for her. We were asked to help as
Luna suffers from allergies and her skin had been neglected for years.
It's been weeks, but after the right medications and several baths,
Luna's hair has grown back and her skin looks great! Allergies are life
long, so Luna's adopter will have to commit to maintaining her skin.
This could mean a hypoallergenic diet or keeping her on allergy
medications. It's often trial and error. But, our sweet Luna is worth
all the upkeep.
Luna approaches everything with gentle curiosity.
She doesn't have an obvious prey drive and just studies the birds and
squirrels in the yard. We have not seen Luna with cats, but suspect
she'd just be interested in what they were up to. Luna is great with
other dogs, large and small, and is not leash reactive. Friendly to
everyone, Luna has been sweet with older kids that she's met. Besides
puzzles, Luna loves car rides, cuddles, stuffies, and walking. She is
good when left alone (after some initial complaints, she's gotten the
hang of it) and is potty trained. Luna is happy to hang out with her
people at bar patios and will charm all the other patrons.
Luna
is heartworm negative and is current on her flea and heartworm
preventatives. She is currently on Apoquel, an allergy medication, and
we will send her adopter with some to get started. If she has to stay on
this, it could run about 150 dollars a month.
Rapper whose #1 hit 'Timber' featured Ke$ha? Pitbull of course. The answer to everything!
