They wanted a puppy for their 21-year-old cat, Mittens, thinking that a larger ‘starter’ dog might accidentally hurt Mittens. When they spotted the homeless runt from a Husky street dog, Tim said, “She was a tiny white fl uffball, with black splotches and blue eyes. She was the cutest puppy we’d ever seen — it was impossible not to fall in love!” The rescue group transferred Gwen to Washington State, and the couple drove down to pick her up. They had the neces- sary vaccination papers to bring her over the border with ease. “We named her Gwen, after my child- hood love, singer and songwriter Gwen Stefani,” said Tim. “What followed next was the most amazing, fun and cute times of any puppy parent’s life. We beamed with pride as Gwen took her ‘fi rst leaps’ off curbs and negotiated her fi rst set of stairs. She and Mittens became best friends. In fact, Gwen cleans Mittens and defends her when other dogs visit!” Right from the start they noticed that Gwen “...drank water until her little belly was bloated,” said Tim. “She looked like a balloon — and then barfed the water up. We took her to the vet, who thought she might have congenital renal failure — kidneys that just don’t work properly.” They were then directed to animal internal medical specialists, and then for ultrasounds and every other paws-ible test. Thousands of dollars later confi rmed their worst night- mare, the fi rst vet was correct. “Gwen now eats a very expensive medi- cal renal formula diet,” said Tim, “and we have eliminated most of the protein from her diet (apparently protein is what bad kidneys have diffi culty breaking down), and daily Photo by Mary Ellen “Angel Scribe” Tim and Erica with their ‘full of life’ dog, Gwen, who is also a K9-klepto- manic when it comes to other dogs’ toys. give her an expensive pill and a few supple- ments. With her medicine and food she now has a wet tongue (before it was always dry, no matter how much water she drank). She has grown into an amazing, fun-loving dog despite her health challenge. I own a landscaping company so Gwen comes to work with me and runs around yards and entertains herself all day long. My customers love to see her joyfully run- ning through their sprinkler systems, as I work on them, or trying to catch water out of a hose.” Tim has no idea how he managed to raise a Klepto-K9! At one client’s home Gwen sneaks over to their neighbors and ‘bor- rows’ their dog’s toys. The toys are the best in dog terms: old tennis balls, a defl ated soc- cer ball, and a torn up rope with dog ball attached. “It is obvious that Gwen knows she is stealing,” admits Tim, “because she never plays with the toys in their yards, but rushes back, proudly prancing around my client’s property with her loot.” After he is ‘allowed’ to catch her, he promptly tosses her bounty into the rightful dog’s yard. “Gwen lives to swim,” said Tim, “so I take her to the beach 12 months a year. She will retrieve sticks in the water as long as I have the strength to toss them. She loves pleasure swimming, just for the pure love of being in the water. As a puppy-toddler I calmly carried her into the water and she paddled back to shore, becoming tickled with herself upon reaching the shore. Initially, she only swam out up to her belly, but one day a stick was tossed out too deep, and once she lifted her feet off the ocean fl oor, and swam to her stick, we can’t kept her out of any swim- mable water!” Gwen also loves the rain! She sits with Tim at softball tournaments in the dugout. When it is pouring rain she pur-furs sitting outside of it purr-fectly content. What a great dog to have in the Pacifi c Northwest’s rain country! “Since Gwen’s life may be shorter than we had hoped,” said Tim, “we are doing ev- erything in our power to give her the most amazing life any dog could imagine.” And they are! TIPS Tim and Erica had Gwen’s DNA tested to better understand her lineage. They had it done for their last dog to gleam what traits their ragamuffi n-rescue would exhibit. “We sent no picture,” said Tim, “and we did not tell the www.DNAmyDOG.com or- ganization anything about Gwen. We sub- mitted her DNA and the results said that she was predominantly a Husky/Rat Terrier mix. We knew about the Husky, so the re- sults are enlightening.” Share your pet tips and tales. angelscribe@msn.com “Follow” Pet Tips ‘n’ Tales on Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/PetTipsand- Tales Adopt Loving Pets www.PetFinder.com Humane Society for Neuter/Spay Assis- tance Program.
