 Shandy
The
following was written by Nancy Margand of Lexington, VA, who was
fostering Shandy, but then decided to make her a permanent addition:
After 8 months under my foster care, we decided to adopt Shandy
ourselves and make her a permanent addition!
She is an 18 month old Wheaten with a playful, happy and patient
temperament, though she was born with bladder problems making her
incontinent. Her original owners kept her in their kitchen and gave
her to WIN when surgical repairs were unsuccessful.
We have built in/outdoor shelters so that Shandy can spend a good
part of the day outside, and only needs to be diapered when inside
in the evenings, or are on cold days. She is no longer living in the
kitchen, and has free run of the house and even sleeps in the
bedroom with the rest of the family, as close to big brother, Thatch
(4yr old SCWT) as he'll allow.
She loves chasing leaves, running figure 8's around the yard, and
reminding her brother that he needs to play more--- 18hrs a day, if
possible.
Nancy, Thatch, and Shandy
