Mardi 05-303 [1]

10/4/05: This sweet little girl was found in an apartment on Jackson Ave. in New Orleans. We would love to find her family, so she is not available for adoption at this time. We went to the vet yesterday and she checked out all okay except for hookworms. She weighs 17 pounds and is 4-5 months old. Mardi (we don't know her real name) looks like a Golden and Collie mix. She has some black hair on her face and tail.

Mardi is a social, happy little puppy considering what she has been through. Yesterday we toured Iowa City and visited the art gallery, book store and Pet Central. Today we went for a walk at the Hoover Library. She loves my other 3 Goldens. The two Golden girls are playing like pups again with Mardi. But the male is jealous and stays away from her. Mardi loves to be petted but she also is comfortable sleeping under my chair, like she is doing right now. She loves riding in the car. Mardi is a special little survivor.
