Mila is a
miracle, one of the miracles of Scooby.
When she
came to the shelter she was very small and already with her health
compromised,
probably because she was removed too early from the mother.
After a couple
of days, her conditions had worsened, so much we started to think that she would
not survive.
Every night
we said her goodbye sure we would not find her alive the following
day, and
every morning she surprised us with her huge questioning eyes.
Mila's story
is a story of small steps.
At the
beginning she was not able to walk, all the time attached to a drip,
with almost
no motor skills, not eating, not drinking. She dragged herself out of
the kennel
to do her business, then she was unable to return, remained patient and just waited for
someone to come and help her.
One day she
looked at us with those huge eyes, tender and sad together, and
drank by
herself! It 'was a moment of great excitement!
The next
step was to eat on her own, starting with a tasty pate and then she told
us that she
preferred the kibble.!, then stand up for a few seconds
without our
help, and then finally the little timid steps.
It took a
few months. Months of ups and downs, medicines, therapies
and hope.
Now Mila
runs, although still a little uncertain, and plays with the other
puppies, as
if nothing has happened. She's much quieter than her rowdy friends
and still has
this unmistakable look in her eyes..
Mila will go
to Holland and
we wish her al the best for her future!
