Mother Diamond

Diamond, the mother of them all. Well, maybe not all, but it appears that Diamond was bred many times and she probably produced many of the 32 dogs seized from her prior owners. Diamond is a big girl, mostly deaf, but with a good, solid temperament from what we've seen. She was spayed last week. She was adopted today.

Her breeding career is over and she has begun a well-deserved retirement in style.

Diamond has gained a good amount of weight, but what she needs now is a new fur coat. That's something that time and good nutrition will provide. I look forward to seeing her when she's got new, clean, white fur that covers her thin and bare spots so the only pink we see is in her eyes and mouth. Diamond will have the best of care, and she deserves it.

She rode home in style, laying down in the back seat soon after leaving here. She has quickly bonded with her new person, needing the security of course, and also sensing that she has a new and better life ahead of her. Diamond has made herself at home in the car, on the sofa, and in her new person's bed already tonight. I may be happiest about Diamond's adoption of any from this group of dogs. She was exploited shamelessly for years, now she's going to be loved for herself, not for what she can do for someone else.
