Literally one day into the process she found a FB post about an ancient brown lab who was in a kill shelter in northern UT. Tied to the door in the middle of the night with no information whatsoever. She damn near teleported to the shelter to see her and immediately fell in love with old Lenora, a decrepit canine covered in huge lipomas, arthritic as can be, not fixed, completely deaf, ignorant of any commands, but with the sweetest disposition of any dog I've ever seen.
She's already required 2 surgeries, one to fix a collapsing airway and one to spay her after she bled for 1.5 months straight because of what turned out to be an ovarian tumor. We both love the old lady but she is a ravenous shit eater and completely indiscriminate: she'll gobble down dog shit at the park, cat shit around the house, she'll break into the chicken area to eat their poop, and if she doesn't have any of these options she'll happily eat her own shit. Usually fresh but she's not against aging it a bit and stepping on it to tenderize it a touch. She is extremely needy and always in your face and will routinely burp horrendous shit bubbles right at you. We've had to kick her out of the bedroom repeatedly because of those burps. Ms Boissal has a very sensitive gag reflex (he he) due to a chronic cough and a couple times the dog planted her face on the bed right in front of her and burped at her, sending her racing to the bathroom gagging and/or vomiting.
Such joy...
