Daisy Mae - the dog formerly known as "Scrapper"

Daisy Mae came to us about a year ago as a foster, actually as half of a bonded pair with her sidekick, Bo. Bo was the sweetest guy in the world, Daisy argued with everyone.....They were surrendered as a pair to a local animal shelter, Daisy 13 years and Bo, 10. I will never understand....Since it is very difficult to find a home for a pair of dogs, they came here. Only about 6 weeks after Bo and Daisy came as fosters, Bo became very sick and went to the Bridge on the Fourth of July. We found out later that he had cancer in his lungs. Daisy had friends here, so she immediately went from foster dog to permanent dog. By this time, she had worked out her differences with the other dogs, and was fitting in very well. She earned the nickname "Scrapper" after she and Ginger had a disagreement that started with two or three minutes of heavy barking and ended up with them kissing noses.
Through the months Daisy became more and more cuddly and worried less and less about the dogs around her. She loves to lay with the others and spends a lot of time rolling upside down in the hay or on the rug. She seems very happy here.
