Update on Skinny Part 2
I've been hesitant to update all of you rooting for Skinny because I've been waiting to see how things played out. Well, I'm pretty sure this story will have a happy ending...
A few days after Skinny escaped her new home for the second time, Mrs. D saw her running across the 347, the busiest street (highway, actually), in Maricopa. Skinny got hit by a car not once, not twice, but three times!!! Twice on the way across the street, then the girl went back across and got hit again. Mrs. D witnessed it all and tried to capture Skinny, but Skinny was on the run. Mrs. D followed her until she stopped under a trailer next to a puppy that looked just like her, only not quite so skinny. Skinny was pretty banged up, but didn't seem to have any life-threatening injuries. Mrs. D noticed a TV on in the trailer, and it seemed as if someone was home, but when she knocked, no one would come to the door. She left a note asking the owner to surrender the dogs to her.
She then called JJ, the Animal Control Officer. He went to Skinny's home and got the owner to come out. He told the owner to either surrender the dog to animal control or pay a fine immediately for letting the dog run loose. The owner chose to surrender Skinny to Animal Control, but was allowed to keep the puppy since it wasn't running all over town. JJ will keep checking on the puppy. He took Skinny to Mrs. D's house.
This was about two weeks ago, and Skinny has been there ever since, very happy. She hugs like a person, and is so so sweet. Mrs. D called a Lab rescue as soon as Skinny arrived, as the people who took Skinny two times before were understandably unwilling to try again. The Lab rescue was full, so Mrs. D has been housing her waiting for an opening. Well, that opening has come, and the Ds are driving Skinny to the Tucson Lab Rescue today.
Bye Skinny! Good luck in your new home!
