I received a phone call Wednesday around 11:30 AM from one of my foster homes that has been a home that always takes any Aussie I have that needs a home and lots of TLC.

Dot before she was on her way to New Spirit
Susan E took Dot in for me as I needed a home that I knew would baby her to no end. Dot was sent to us with some horrible mats in her hair, dried poop and tangles covered her back end from top to bottom. Dot was one of those dogs like you see on Last Chance Highway that are just chained up and left alone, not sure why you get a dog to chain up and forget, but their disregard was New Spirit 4 Aussie Rescue’s gain, as we got Dot!

Dot Relaxing This Summer on the deck
Dot was also a lethal white Aussie, she was deaf but could see well, We had adopted her out once only to return because she was acting up at the new adopter’s home, maybe she knew something, and maybe she wanted to stay with Susan. She came back and was all happy to be back home, so we worked on a new adopter, which was to happen this weekend, a great home with Freddie and her boyfriend, Freddie wanted an older more mature girl. That was Dot.

Dot Enjoys Everything
Sadly Wednesday morning Dot woke and was not hungry, she skipped breakfast, and went out to potty, she came back in and chased the cat, went back out and peed, and then came in and laid in the corner, looked as Susan and gave a whimper, and then collapsed. Susan tried CPR/mouth to snout rescue, but Dot had decided she was ready to go, and play at the Bridge, waiting for all our other rescues to come and meet her, letting them know they were to wait and play, and help all the other rescues find safety across the bridge.

Where is Dot?

Dot again relaxing
We all will miss Dot, Susan the most, and ask you send great thoughts and typical Aussie kisses and butt wiggles.

Goodbye Dot
OH NO!!!
Lots of Aussie butt wiggles to salute this grand little lady.
Not a dry eye to be seen here after reading this report.
Rest well Dot
Sweet Sweet girl….I will always have a very special place for you in my heart, but am sad that I will not get to enjoy your presence in my life as I had hoped…you’re in doggy heaven with my girl Daisy, and I know you will be worry free there, as she is…
My Sweet Polar Bear, Thank you for spending your last summer with me. I will miss you for the rest of my life. Susan
I was able to have her for a few days and was disappointed that it didn’t work out for me. I got to love her and will miss her.
I had a few hours with Dot at my mom, Caroline’s house. She touched our lives and we are so sad to hear of her passing. May she have new found hearing and many friends on the other side of the bridge.
