Lulu
is a hound who was abandoned at around 8 years old. She was weak and in
fairly poor condition when found. She has very bad teeth and will
probably need to have some of them removed, but the vet wants her to get
stronger before doing any dental work. She has an arched back, and a
hard lump on her back that will be aspirated soon. She sometimes quivers
when urinating, which may be due to pain in her back.
Our best guess is that Lulu had been used for breeding. When she
arrived, she hadn't been spayed, and she hardly had any fur on her
sides, possibly from sleeping on concrete in a pen. She also has a real
fondness for smaller dogs, which could be due to being around puppies in her
past life. She stands at
the door and watches the PeeWee dogs when they are out in the front
yard. She likes being let out with them, and they are starting
to accept her even though she is much larger.
Lulu had probably known hunger at some point in her past, and she
quickly became notorious for stealing any food she can get at. She will
immediately devour any people-food left on the counter, including
sandwiches, snacks, and Florence's dinner. She will grab and run off with
any
bowl of cat food that is left within her reach.
Lulu loves getting into the playpen where Skippy
sleeps. She poked a hole in the side so she can climb in. She might
crave the security, or just like sleeping on a soft bed.
