Hannah Bug

ADOPT 2010 CONTEST

I WAS A STRAY, MY MAMA FOUND WANDERING AROUND NEAR THE TENSAS RIVER IN THE SWAMPS OF CENTRAL LOUISIANA..... THIS IS THE STORY MY MAMA TELLS ABOUT HOW SHE SAVED MY LIFE WHEN SHE RESCUED ME...

The first time I saw her she was just wandering around, her hair was so long and matted that you couldnt even tell there was a dog underneath it all. I picked her up regardless of all the dirt and how bad she smelled and hugged her close to me, when I did she pressed her cheek against mine and just snuggled me, I knew I had found my best friend.
Once getting Hannah home, I groomed her and made her all pretty, but as the days went by of us getting to know each other I noticed a odor about her and no matter what I did I couldnt clear it up, so I took her to the vet and she ran several test on her. Hannah was diagnosed with red mange caused from neglect and malnutrition. I was devastated, thinking that I was about to lose her when I had just found her (and of course I was attached from the first huggle we had). However the vet assured me that since she was spayed and heartworm free there was a cure. So after the treatment period she is now healthy and beautiful. She has been thru alot with me, a divorce, we have moved about 5 times in as many years, from Louisiana to Alabama to various places here in Florida,we have watched my kids grow up and get lives of their own, shared the arrival of the grandkids, laid her head on my shoulder as we both have grieved in our own ways the passing of our precious Tinker, we have been together for all the ups and downs that life has thrown at us. She is now 19 years old, and I call her my old woman, she is the matriarch of the house/family, my bestest friend in the whole wide world.

SO THERE YA HAVE IT...IM SO NOT A STRAY NO MORE. I AM JUST LITTLE OLE SOUTHERN BELLE ME, THAT LIVES A LIFE OF LEISURE AND TOTAL COMFORT.

MY DADDY

My Daddy is sad and he cries cause his grandmama went to heaven. I have been stayin real close to him so that I can give him as much comfort as I have in my lil ole self to give to him, just like he does for me when I dont feel good. Tink is takin care of the Debbie, I take care of the Daddy so we got it covered on both ends.....what evahhh would they do without us girls.
Its really sad to see them suffer like they are, but I try to tell daddy that Bear (his Rottie) and Mystic (that crazy black cat) are there playin with Nanna, and just havin a good ole time with her, and I think he knows all that but he is just missin her.
Im gonna go snuggle in my Daddy's lap and give him some more comfort while I nap.....I am soooo good at multi taskin.
