Lullaby Free Spirit's first visit to the vet with us the day after she came to me. Sad day, really, but I love this picture of her. She was an abused wolf/husky hybrid that I rescued. She had been beaten horribly, but still had such a wonderful spirit. Too bad she couldn't have been saved. That day, we found out she was heart worm positive, and only five days after, found out she had seizures from brain damage. So we worked on her, and started giving her pills for the seizures. After a while, I noticed her belly getting bigger and harder, and nothing else filling out. I had a feeling she was pregnant, and my feeling was right. On new years eve, she had five beautiful puppies between 1 and 5 A.M.

She was only able to raise them to three weeks old, and she did a wonderful job at that. By three weeks old, the puppies were able to eat solid-ish food, and were as healthy as can be. But she wasn't doing so good at all. She was always trying to get out, and hurting herself in the works. I'd take her for walks, and she wouldn't stop, as if someone was after her. If we had continued to leave her in that state, she would have hurt the puppies, herself, and us, without even knowing it, really.

We put her to sleep January 25th, and now, she will be able to rest, and no longer be in pain. Through the short time I had her, she was such a wonderful animal, and will forever be a part of me and my family, along with her beautiful legacy's. I have always wanted to start an animal rescue, and she really inspired me to continue with my dream. She will be missed dearly.
