Panda

This is Panda.

We got her at the end of September 2005. She was the best thing I did for Harley and everyone else in the family. I just wish my mom got to meet here before she died because she would have fallen in love with her.

Panda was a puppy mill pup in a small town in Virginia. She is a mix (as the mill puts it an accident). She got pregnant and was scheduled to be gassed with her puppies still in her.

A organization named Companions For Life reduced her. When she got to her forester home she had her babies, but all 8 of them. They where all still born. Her foster mom told me that for two days straight she would not leave them. Her foster mom had another dog that had a littler so when that mommy dog would leave her puppies for a while Panda would go and nurse the other puppies.

I think she was badly abused because she dose not like men and she is very submissive and would cower when you went to pet her. She has gotten better but still very leery of everyone she comes in contact with.

On the back of her ID tag is says Daddy's Little Girl. Bringing her into our home perked Harley up a lot, but she became best friends with Apollo. They run around the back yard together chasing each other. I wish I had the time to work with her on some agility courses because she loves to run up the stairs to the porch and then on the porch down the ramp around the yard and then she does the whole thing over again.

Her nickname is Princess Peanut.
