Take one skinny, frightened, dirty dog. Bless her with angels and fly her to a foster home and presto chango you have Ms. Layla.
Now, you may be wondering what's with the high falutin name. Well, she is going to grow into it I tell you. We can only take credit for the Layla part. The OliveOyl part was what she was dubbed by her pilot from Pilots N Paws. Olive Oyl was a skinny little wench too, just like Ms. Layla. The Girard part of her name gives a nod to the town she originated from Girard, KS.
She had an eventful trip including hurling in the air plane. I had an eventful trip down to a very small rural airport to pick her up. Nearly put my truck in a muddy ditch. Come to think of it I about hurled too.
She has a grimy looking ring around her neck. Left from a chain collar around her neck so tight it had to be cut off. The deluxe shampoo treatment didn't remove the ring, but time, love and new fur will as it comes in. Thank God the collar wasn't embedded in the skin. She was/is a lucky girl. She is timid, head shy and very gentle. Her first meal was pancakes. This seems to be the year of cooking for dogs. Of course, Reno is a little worried because I cook for the dogs first, then us.
So there you have it, a big day for Ms. Layla. With a big thank you to Pilots Jim and Sam. and of course for Reno, who always says yes when I want to bring home a new foster.
