Last night we lost our sweet wolfdog, Dreamer. She was nearly 14 years old and started to struggle with her sore hips. One of our medicine givers found her having a seizure and we knew it was her time as she was ready to leave us, so we gave her a sedative and she passed peacefully.
When we rescued Dreamer, we got her to a secure enclosure, and it was obvious she had an eye injury that had been a long term problem. We arranged for our vet to look her over the very next day. Dr. Eisel advised that it was Entropian Eye, in which the lid folds under due to extra skin and the hairs irritate the eye. It was a simple “fix” and should have been done when she was spayed. We got her previous owner to release Dreamer to us as we needed a companion for Tiberius and felt she would be a good candidate. Regardless, we didn’t want her going somewhere else with her eye untreated. He consented and we arranged for surgery the next day.
Dreamer immediately felt better and became an outgoing and loving girl. For the first time in her life she was PAIN FREE – at nearly four years old! As soon as she was released into her brand new exercise yard with Tiberius she started digging and pushed the rebar apart, squeezing through. Needless to say, there aren’t many “normal homes” or yards that would be able to contain this HOUDINI. We managed to foil her and she hadn’t found another escape route. Tybe and Dreamer were a great pair that would play and run. She was very tolerant of his antics and knew how to draw the line when he got a little out of hand.
Dreamer was loved by all volunteers and she lived a wonderful life at the sanctuary. She enjoyed her walks by her favorite humans, and enjoyed her time with Tybe.
Rest easy Dreamer and run free with the rest
