How Much is That Doggie in the Window?

We wanted that doggie in the window

The one with the waggley tail

We wanted that doggie in the window

(We hoped that it wasn’t a male)

Didn't want a bunny or a kitty

Didn't want a parrot that talks

Didn't want a bowl of little fishies

We can't take a goldfish for a walk

We adopted that doggie in the window

The one who had been in Dog Jail

We adopted that sweet girl in the window

With red curls, and some hairs so pale

Note: all the dogs shown have good homes!

Lindy was found by the SPCA of Medicine Hat, Alberta, wandering and "living wild" with another Golden Retriever. The people at the SPCA found both dogs to be friendly, good-natured and loving, so they phoned Medicine Hat SOS Pet Rescue, who took them both. They went to live at an SOS foster home, were vet-checked, washed, had their hair shaved off because it was so matted, and put on diets because, whatever they were eating in the wild, it had made them both quite fat. By the time we met Lindy a couple of months later, she had lost some weight and was so sweet and friendly. She took one look at my husband, and it was love at first sight. We've had her more than a year now and can't imagine what life would be like without her. She still needs to lose some weight (so do we) but we're working on that. Her favorite snacks are raw vegetables, which is a big help!
