NICCO AND
SUSAN

This
is the story of Nicco (formerly Gucci) and one of our Pet Pals For
Life organizers, Susan. Susan always reads the pet section in
our local paper thoroughly. She noticed an ad that read,
"give away, an Italian Greyhound". Susan called the
number and the lady indicated she would give the dog to the first
person who knocked on the door. Susan pleaded with the lady to
wait until she could come get him. The lady agreed and Susan
jumped in her car, drove out into the country and met Gucci, a
beautiful, petite, adorable Italian Greyhound.
It
was Saturday morning and Susan called Sharon, another Pet Pals For
Life organizer, and asked her to come to Dr. Somers office to meet
Gucci. Susan also called Sylvia to see if she could board
Gucci until a home could be found.
Dr.
Somers checked Gucci over and said he appeared to be in good
health. Susan made an appointment for Monday to have Gucci
neutered. Shy on the ride to the office, Gucci blossomed with
all the attention he was receiving and enjoyed playing with the
clinic cat. Tammy, one of Dr. Somers assistants, really took
to Gucci's charm and asked if she could keep him for the week-end
and would bring him to work with her on Monday for the neutering.
When
Monday came, Tammy told us she had fallen in love with Gucci, as had
the rest of her family and pets. So instead of boarding Gucci
with Sylvia, Tammy asked to foster Gucci, and possibly, adopt him.
And what was the
end result? Of course Tammy and her family decided to keep
Gucci as part of their active household. Did you have any
doubts?
So
now Gucci - whose name has been changed to Nicco - lives
with Zeus
the Rottie, three miniature pinchers (Dezoto, Tasha and Shilo), a
cat named Scrappy and a geiko. Nicco has the privilege of
sleeping with Tammy and her husband and loves to play 'tug of war'
with little stuffed animals.
What
a wonderful ending to my story - all because Susan reads the
paper so thoroughly.
Love,
Nicco
P.S.
A week later Susan rescued another dog named
Twinkle. Please read her story, too.
