Arrival Story:
when we arrived at the BSPCA this morning for our routine Friday morning dog walk, we were pleasantly greeted by a hyper puppy who was Juniper. Due to some real crazy weather here, it had been raining all morning and Juniper was wet and dirty. So were all the other puppies that were out of the puppy pen. We rinsed them all and dried them off one by one. Mira was continually trembling too much even after being dried off so I decided to wrap her up in a dry towel and warm her up a bit. She eventually feel asleep on my chest and I kept pacing up and down the yard to keep her comfortable and warm. In the meantime Dada was helping out with the walks. As it had rained the ground was very muddy and slippery. The dogs were throwing up mud everywhere and Dada and the other volunteers were a sight to see. At about 1:30 in the afternoon today ( April 03, 2009-Friday) we decide that we will foster Mira, one week at a time and brought her home. On our way home she was sleeping the entire car ride. When we arrived home of course we introduced her to Lassie. Mira started crying after awhile as she was in a different environment and her siblings weren't around. She did settle down in awhile.She drank loads of water, pee and poop several times but didn't eat anything. We gave her a quick bath at about 4pm. She was also throwing up a clear liquid with some parts of a foamy stuff too. She is not very healthy I guess and hope she gets better.Her first pee was in the kitchen while her first poop was in the hall, the subsequent ones were in her designated area, formerly Lassie's toilet. what a nice girl. She does have diarrhea though. She is drinking lots of water but not eating anything. she doesn't play much but follows us every where. She likes to go into Lassie's room. We have put her in a cardboard crate which is lined with blankets. Her routine today has been mostly following us around, crying, playing a bit with the towel or toy then sleeping for about an hour. She even pulled on Dada's vest and also the strings of my chair cover. Then wake up and off I carry her to the toilet to potty train her with the newspapers. Later in the evening at about 6:30pm we went out shopping for some puppy food, toys and blanket. of course we took Mira along with us for the ride, she slept most of it. I was doing the shopping while Dada waited in the car watching over Mira. We came back home at about 8pm and she is now back to her routine. We just pray and hope that her health gets better. Dada will be sleeping tonight but I wont as its Mira's first night here.I need to see what is her routine at night.

Bio:
MIRA who was originally known as ZIPPY was found with her two siblings abandoned on the side of a street in a place called Jasra here in Bahrain. They were rescued by a good Samaritan on March 24, 2009 and were dropped off at the BSPCA. Zack and Mira look quite similar although Zack's facial markings are much darker and his paws are white at the tips. Mira has black paws in the front and her rear paws are white tipped. Her facial markings are much lighter. Juniper is a slightly different looking sibling of Mira who also is extremely hyperactive. Juniper has a white streak on her forehead without any tan markings.

Baby Angel Mira


To Terry Stanley of Dog Days of Painting
A million thanks to you for making Mira's portrait.Mira has come alive again because of this painting and we can't wait to see Mira's portrait next to Lassie's portrait at my desk (computer table).

It's truly wonderful and all your paintings are beautiful.

From: "Terry Stanley"

Oh Madeline I am so sorry!!!! I hope you know you gave Zippy the best gift of all - a truly happy home where she felt welcome and cherished. The fact that it was only a couple of days doesn't matter - it was the gift that lasted a lifetime for her and she'll be joyfully playing with Lassie at the bridge. I will be honored to paint her. Lassie's portrait truly does have a place in my heart - she was the first "angel" I painted and you truly touched me when you wrote that you and your husband both felt she'd come home to you in her portrait. (I'm tearing up again just thinking about it).

I looked at Zippy's page on Dogster - it was nice to see who I am assuming are you and your husband! If those people are you, you are younger than I'd imagined.
I will be in touch in a couple of weeks. I do hope you continue to open your hearts and home - now you have two angels to pick out and send their earthly surrogate for you to love!
A big hug from Wisconsin -
Terry

Dear Terry,

First off, we feel truly and deeply honored as you have featured our beloved Lassie in your web-page header. The other portraits are really beautiful too.

I am also writing to you as I have yet another request for a portrait for my dear Mira. After Lassies passing we started volunteering at the local pet shelter here called BSPCA. We had been going there for about little over a month now. Every time we were there we contemplated about fostering one of the dogs there but could never make up our minds.

Last Friday (April 3rd) however all that changed. It had been raining (yes it does rain here sometimes). As we entered the shelter a sweet little puppy that was completely drenched came up to us tail wagging, very excited and settled down at my feet. We hadnt seen her the week earlier and were later told that she was one of the three puppies found abandoned about ten days earlier but were quarantined until this morning. Her name was Juniper. Her siblings were Zack and Zippy.

My husband then decided to clean off the dirt from these puppies by hosing them down and I went about drying them. Zippy was shivering a lot so I dried her, wrapped her up in a dry towel and carried her around. She fell asleep in my arms. We later decided to foster Zippy and brought her home. She wasnt in great shape considering she was just about ten weeks old. She was however very playful, just like little puppies are.

We got her home, gave her a bath, fed her. She was a great puppy, very smart and a quick learner. She got used to the newspapers very quickly and knew exactly where to go.

She was coughing and periodically having a foul odor from her mouth. We were of course in touch with the shelter, keeping them updated about Zippy whom we had now rechristened as Mira. Sunday morning we were told that Zack, her brother had to be put down due to parvovirus. It was a shock to us and we feared that Mira was suffering from the same virus. As the day progressed Mira was actually getting worst from the inside. But from the outside she was still a very playful little girl. By the evening though she started coughing even more and getting blood in her stools. We were devastated by this. Monday morning we visited the vet and he told us that she had indeed been affected by the parvovirus and the best thing would be to put her down. We couldnt make this decision as foster parents, so the shelter manager directed the vet to do so.

Mira our sweet little baby is gone now. She was with us for three days. She gave us much joy and happiness and hope she felt our love too.

She will be in our hearts forever; but to honor her memory I hope that you could make a portrait of her. I am attaching a picture of her that I would appreciate you will draw. If you could spare some time then kindly visit her page at http://www.dogster.com/dogs/975688

I dont know if I have mentioned that we have framed Lassies portrait from you.

Thank you and god bless,

Warm Regards,
Madeline
