staying outside for quite a long time that you could ‘smell’ her from a short distance. People lived at the fish pond seemed not quite mind of her presence but neither care to feed her. Kay seemed very hungry, sitting quietly at a door to another, carrying a smile, expecting someone to spare her a bite. When she got thirsty, she went down to the fish pond seeking for some puddles. No one knew how long she’s been there until someone shared her pictures and story on my Facebook. At first glance, I thought this guy must be joking because it was unusual to see a pure bred stray Sheltie. After I went thru the story, I felt so sorrow and asked the person to keep Kay for me. I followed the map the person shared and found Kay sitting at a door with a pair of sad eyes. Obviously, it must be another starving day. When she saw me, she showed me a very sweet smile. It was exactly like the story said. I burst into tears. Kay was so skinny. I wondered if I wouldn’t have come to get her, how she would be. After giving Kay a thorough physical checkups and exams, Kay was in hospitalization for two weeks to monitor if there was any unknown disease. Fortunately, she was quite okay apart from some dermal issues and malnutrition. Kay was about 7-8 years old. To help her hair growing nicely again, we trimmed her fur off. During the time, Kay was staying with an experienced foster family to help her gaining weight and care of dermal issue. Three months later, Kay turns into a beautiful Sheltie as she should be. Kay is a very moderate and cuddly girl. She is energetic, playful and affectionate. She is surely a family dog. Perhaps she’s got lost and ended up to wander at the fish bond. Kay gets along with dogs. She can share toys with doggie friends but not food which is understandable. When Kay stays inside, she is calm and likes to snuggle. She enjoys playing out and running free with dogs. She is lively that you can hardy tell she is about 8 years old. Kay is also very intelligent but in someway stubborn, too. She needs continually correction to prevent her mark at home sometimes.
