She's not with us anymore, on Sunday I took her on the second leg of her journey to meet with another transporter to get her in to the capable hands of rescue and her foster home.  When I closed the door to the other transporters car and looked at her she gave me the most pathetic "Why aren't you coming with me??" look that has EVER been given...it broke my heart.

She went to see the vet today and start the road to recovery. :)  She's in wonderful hands and I'm sure she's settling in nicely to her new surroundings, she's such a sweet soul she wins over EVERYONE who meets her.  As a matter of fact, when we were waiting on the other transporter I let her out in a small green space area to do her business and stretch her legs.  A guy who was driving buy actually Stopped, Reversed, Stopped again, rolled down his window to ask me about her.  When I told him she was a rescue and was on her way to her foster home he got out of his still running car to come meet her.  She was terrified of him, but he was so gentle with her.  He got SO mad at her condition, he actually had angry tears in his eyes.  He wanted to know where she was going so he could donate money in her name.  That made my heart so happy. :)

Here she is at the shelter where we picked her up:

here's her sweet little face (crusty nose and ears and all):

and here she is sleeping in the back of my car (this seemed to be her preferred position for about 50% of the trip) you can see all of the sores on her elbows and knees:

years old the shelter told us.  As we guessed she has infected ears and tail.  Yeast infections all over her and is in heat- which we did not realize.  I still can not tell anyone about her without getting tears in my eyes.  I have seen pictures of dogs in bad shape but never in person.  It really is upsetting.  However- she is in awesome hands and I know that she will be treated like a princess from here on out.  That warms my heart and gives me something to smile about.
