Fee Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 Trudie is a 15 year old Cocker Spaniel who arrived in Oldies Club care in a terrible state. She was grossly underweight, only 10.6 kg, and had infections in her eyes, ears, throat and chest. Her breathing was laboured and she had an upset tummy and infected sores on her face. Despite all that she’s had to cope with, Trudie is the sweetest little dog you could wish to meet and after lots of veterinary treatment, antibiotics and TLC she’s shown considerable improvement. She’s putting on weight and her infections are clearing up nicely, but she needs to continue with eye drops as she has a condition called “dry-eyeâ€. Trudie is totally deaf and has poor eyesight, so she’s going to need a very sympathetic and understanding owner who can continue to give her the love and care she truly deserves. This is Trudie when she first arrived! Trudie’s foster family have described what they think would be her perfect home … The perfect home for Trudie would be one where someone is around most of the day, perhaps a retired person or couple, or a home worker. Trudie isn’t high maintenance, but she needs someone who will be patient and understand that she’s an older lady wanting TLC in her twilight years. A home without stairs would be ideal because even though she’s fine going up, she’s not so good coming back down. If there are stairs she’d be happy to be carried, but would need a stairgate to prevent any falls. Trudie also needs someone to be around for regular mealtimes as she’ll need some encouragement to eat and put on more weight. Trudie’s fosterers also tell us …. Trudie is very easy going and has been quite happy to live with our 12 year old dog. We’ve never heard her bark or growl and we think she’d also be fine living with cats and other pets. She’s very good with children and loves attention, but because of her age and poor hearing and eyesight, we’d recommend a home with older children (aged 13 yrs +). Out on walks this girl steps out like a dog half her age! She was only walked for 10 minutes every 2-3 days in her previous home, but she certainly intends to make up for it! It is the highlight of her day and she trots along in front telling us to hurry up! Her new owners will need to be fit enough to walk her for about 30-45 minutes every day. She has no recall due to her deafness, but she does walk beautifully on the lead. Trudie is a very good girl in the car. She gets very excited though and just can’t wait to get out and walk, so be ready for when you open the boot! Her favourite pastimes are receiving love, more love, being patted and petted, fed and walked and then having a big tummy rub while she rolls around on the floor. She’s an absolute poppet and she doesn’t have a bad bone in her body. She’s a friendly, loving and happy girl who deserves a nice retirement home where she’ll be truly pampered. We believe that whoever adopts Trudie will most certainly have a loyal, loving and faithful doggie companion for the rest of her days. She’s a lovely girl and she’ll be so grateful to whoever wants care for her at this time in her life. She’s adorable! Trudie isn’t currently neutered and is due to be vaccinated at the end of this month. She’s been wormed and has had several baths, but hasn’t yet been flea-treated. Due to her Dry-eye condition she will need to have eye drops for the rest of her life. ———————- If you’d like to enquire about Trudie, please refer to our Adoption Procedures for information about the adoption process.

Hope I've done this right... Is Trudie still looking for her forever home please. How wld she be with 4 yorkies (2 x 12yr olds, 1 x 9yr old and 1 x 15mths.. all have good manners ). I live in a bungalow so no stairs for Trudie to climb plus have quite a large garden. Edited January 1, 2010 by Yorkiepower Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
