LORENZO THE WARRIOR

LORENZO AFTER TWO DAYS IN THE HOSPITAL...HE WAS TAKEN OUTSIDE TO LAY IN THE COOL GRASS

MEET LORENZO, THE HANDSOME NEW MEMBER OF OUR BIG FAMILY...WE AREN'T EXACTLY SURE WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS DEAR OLD FELLOW; HE MAY HAVE BEEN MAULED BY OTHER YOUNGER DOGS, OR HE MAY HAVE BEEN BEATEN BY HIS MISCREANT OWNER...WHEN WE RECEIVED THE CALL THAT A DOG WAS LYING ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, AND THAT HE HAD BEEN THERE FOR THREE DAYS IN THE BLAZING SUN, WE WERE SHOCKED THAT WE HADN'T BEEN CALLED SOONER...WHEN WE GOT TO LORENZO WE THOUGHT HE MIGHT BE DEAD, BUT THOSE BEAUTIFUL BIG BROWN EYES OPENED AND HE LET US LIFT HIM TO THE CAR AND THEN TO THE VET'S OFFICE...FLIES WERE ALL OVER HIS BODY; HE WAS ABSOLUTELY DEHYDRATED AND IN DEEP SHOCK BECAUSE OF THE WOUNDS AND MANGE.  HE IS TOO WEAK TO EAT OR WALK ON  HIS OWN...AT PRESENT HE IS ON INTRAVENOUS FOR THE DEHYDRATION AND HE IS FED BY USING A SYRINGE FULL OF A SPECIAL LIQUID DIET.

LORENZO RELAXES ON THE COOL GRASS AT THE CLINIC AND THEN HE GETS SOME FLUIDS FROM THE VET

LORENZO TRYING TO STAND, BUT HE CAN'T MAKE IT ON HIS OWN, SO WE HOLD HIM UP SO THAT HE CAN RELIEVE HIMSELF

LORENZO WILL HAVE TO STAY AT THE VET'S CLINIC UNTIL HE IS STRONG ENOUGH TO BE BROUGHT TO THE EAGLE'S NEST, WHERE THE REST OF HIS LIFE WILL BE ONE OF JOY AND LOVING KINDNESS....

IF ANYONE WOULD LIKE TO HELP WITH LORENZO'S VET BILLS, PLEASE CLICK ON THE PAY PAL BUTTON...NO DONATION IS TOO SMALL....

I'VE HAD A LOT OF E-MAILS ASKING ABOUT THE MUSIC ON THIS PAGE; IT'S CALLED: All of My Life. I CAN SEND YOU THE MIDI FILE OR THE HTML VERSION IF YOU HAVE A WEBSITE.

NOVEMBER 16/08 LORENZO UPDATE

LORENZO CAME HOME TODAY; HERE HE IS WALKING IN THE COMPOUND EXPLORING HIS NEW HOME...HE'S WALKING QUITE WELL AND IS VERY STEADY ON HIS TIRED OLD PAWS.

HIS WOUNDS ARE STARTING TO HEAL AND IT APPEARS HE IS NOT IN ANY PAIN....ON THE RIGHT HE IS MAKING FRIENDS WITH TWO OF HIS NEW MATES...URSULA, THE BLOND COCKER MIX, AND MANDY A GERMAN SHEPHERD MIX...MANDY WAS FOUND ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD SITTING BESIDE HER DEAD BROTHER...SHE IS NOW FOUR YEARS OLD...

WE ARE SURE IF LORENZO COULD TALK, HE WOULD WANT TO THANK EVERYONE WHO MADE DONATIONS FOR THE HELP OF HIS RECOVERY.
