Angel

Angel was adopted from the GRCGLA on September 19, 2010. She is 13 years old now. She has her peanut butter-stuffed Kong (the senior Kong) in the photo, and she is on her special memory-foam bed for her aging joints. Even though she has typical arthritis issues due to her age, she literally bounces up and down with excitement -- all four feet leave the floor-- when she sees us filling her Kong. Angel is so full of love for life that it was hard to choose just one thing she is thankful for. She also loves to roll around in the grass in the backyard and watch TV with us on the futon. Angel is our first dog, and she has brought us so much joy. We can't imagine a more perfect dog.

p.s. her front leg is shaved because she had surgery for an aural hematoma, which she got from shaking her head back and forth too hard, even though there was no foreign body in her ear to have prompted the head shaking.
