Every domestic dog will look for a place to sleep and eat whenever they have the opportunity. A lot of people look through trash or sites that have been abandoned. Sadly, a significant number of dogs are struck by automobiles.But Lacy's journey is going to be the most heartwarming trip i have ever seen.
Some are astute enough to request assistance from other individuals. Throughout my life, I have always saved animals, many of which were abandoned. Lacy, a huge poodle, would be an example of such a rescue in my life.
The streets of Stockton, California gave birth to the beginning of Lacy's journey. Months of neglect were reflected in her hair, which was matted. Her skin was being pulled by the excruciating mats, which had grown six inches in length.
As is the case with human hair, the hair of a poodle continues to grow and does not shed. Because of this kind of neglect, discomfort and anguish are caused. As well as being malnourished, Lacy had damaged ribs that had not healed properly. It was a traumatic experience for her, and she had made it through the hard streets.
Animal control eventually apprehended her, which provided her with a fresh opportunity.Lacy's journey had been difficult, but now there was hope.
A New Beginning
When we saw Lacy on a website that specializes in adoption, it was like falling in love at first sight. Despite her condition, we were able to recognize her talent. Lacy arrived at our location after a lengthy travel that she had been on. Despite our timidity and fragility, we were focused on assisting her in her recovery.
The initial stretch of time was challenging. It was extremely difficult for Lacy to be among other people. As a result of her history, she is weary of trusting anybody. The act of grooming was very challenging for her. She was had to get her hair entirely cut off. The experience was excruciating, both physically and mentally. However, Lacy's journey toward recovery started with unconditional love and patience.
After some time had passed, she went from being timid to becoming more at ease with her new existence. While Lacy's journey was slow but steady, trust began to emerge between the two of them.
Lacy’s Role on the Ranch
The path that Lacy took was not just focused on her physical recovery. During her time at our mountain horse ranch, she discovered her calling. As a result of her role as "Poodle Security," Lacy patrolled our expansive land.
She keeps an eye out for any intruders, whether they are guests or wild animals. Under her careful eye, deer and turkeys have neither a chance nor a chance of survival. In addition to assisting in the management of vermin, Lacy's journey has made her an accomplished hunter.
Every action she does demonstrates the power and resiliency she possesses. In the course of her adventure, Lacy has even managed to avoid being bitten by two rattlesnakes. Both were severe, but none of them were life-threatening. Her fearlessness in the face of danger is something that we respect tremendously.
In addition, Lacy's journey demonstrates her urge to defend others. We went out for lunch one day, and Lacy was left in the yard while we was gone. When Lacy's new roommate arrived at her house, she was unable to identify him. No, she would not allow him to enter. She was firmly seated at the gate, and she let out a low growl. The roommate had to give us a call in order for us to enter!
Lacy’s Journey of Trust
Lacy's path toward complete trust has been a long and winding one, but rich with rewards. Currently, she does not crouch as if she is anticipating being hurt. Without any fear, she is able to look us in the eyes and maintain her stare.
In spite of the fact that she continues to label baths and nail cuttings as "torture," she is able to bear them with patience. From a place of fear to one of trust, Lacy has undergone a change that is well worth the effort that she has put in.
The queen of our ranch, Lacy, has also been accompanied by other persons. She considers her "little brother," Mary, to be her best friend. All of them work together to police the site. Lacy's journey has been reinforced by their connection, which has provided her with company and support.
Another Rescue on the Horizon
Despite the fact that Lacy and mary are content and in good condition, we are still looking for further rescues. The adventure of Lacy continues, but we are aware that another dog may require a home in the near future. My husband's allergies restrict us to poodles or breeds that are similar to poodles. However, the trip that Lacy has taken has shown us that the appropriate dog will come into our lives at the correct moment.
There is no doubt in our minds that when the time comes, another rescue will come along with us. Until then, we will cherish each and every minute we spend with Lacy. We are looking forward to continuing Lacy's trip with her because it has been a fantastic experience thus far.
