| Weeble's Story |
| She had spent the first years of her life as "Vixen", producing several litters for a breeder. When they no longer wanted her, she was purchased by a couple as a pet for their children. They renamed her Ladybug. |
| The children wanted a dog who was more active because Lady couldn't keep up anymore. December of 2001, she lost out to a new puppy. But what she gained was a new lease on life. In January 2002 she came to live with us. |
| After a couple years of bulk feeding & little excercise, Lady became overweight.Her life became little more than a struggle to go out to potty & then back inside to rest. She wouldn't go any further than 10 to 20 feet from the front door of their house. |
| Except for the over feeding part, she had regular trips to the vet & groomer. Our work was cut out for us. We took her to our vet to be checked out. she got her shots & the heartworm test was ok. |
| The dieting began along with more excercise. She could only walk about 20 feet or so before she became exhausted. We would start out for a walk & would have to turn back so she could rest. We bought her a wagon so she could at least hitch a ride when she was tired. |
| During trips to PetsMart with the other dogs, she would have to ride in a shopping buggy. Not any more. She's loosing weight, getting stronger & really enjoys the daily walk around the block. Oh, and no more wagon rides (her choice). |

| Weeble's kidneys failed early summer of 2005. All our efforts to save her failed & she quietly passed to the Bridge where she waits with Spencer, Jo, Penny & all of the Bare's Den. "In time we will meet again at the Bridge" |
