Montana 10-395 [1]

Montana (or "Tana" to her friends) came to live at my house today. She is 10 years old and weighs 83 pounds. Like many seniors, Tana has arthritic hips and knees. Her previous home was a heated barn which is not where an old gal with stiff legs wants to be! She is very gentle, sweet and cooporative. She was groomed before she came to RAGOM, so she is sporting some ribbons on her ears.

I took her to the vet this afternoon. She has a few large lumps that may need to be tested. Some blood was drawn and the results should come back next week. Her weight is a bit high, so she will be on a diet. Losing some weight should lhelp with her legs too. It is hard for her to get up when she has been resting for a while. She is stiff and it takes a while for her to warm up. She needs help getting into the car as her back legs are weak.

She is sleeping now and I can tell you that she snores... Her previous owner says that she is house trained. So far, no accidents. She is fine with other dogs and has spent time with young puppies. She loves children and is very affectionate. She had a VERY busy day and needs to just relax in her new home. As I get to know her better, I will share it here. Welcome to RAGOM, Tana!
