Harmony's Woobie

This is HARMONY. She is an Italian Greyhound who recently arrived at SOS Rescue. http://www.bonz-design.com/ReedgateRescues/

Harmony is pictured with her "Woobie" that was made and donated by my buddy, Betsy. I'll include the note that was sent to us by Harmony's Momma, Jennifer.

Today, we took 6 1/2 year old Harmony to the vet. She was scheduled to be spayed next week, but we bumped her up to the head of the list because she had the beginnings of pyometra. She also had an inguinal hernia that needed repaired and a major teeth cleaning. Well, her teeth couldn't be pulled because her bottom jaw had deteriorated to the point that it had seperated. So, our vet had to wire her bottom jaw together.

Anyway, the poor little soul basically went through pure hell today. I brought her home right after the surgery to let her recuperate in our house. As she was coming out of anesthesia, she began crying and moaning. I grabbed your afghan that you sent and wrapped it around her and picked Harmony up. She immediately quit crying. I held her for 2 hours in your blankie and she loved every second of it.

I have already decided to keep her forever, but this really sealed our bond today. Holding her in your blankie today completely reassured her that she could trust me and that I would always be there for her. Thank you so much for taking the time to send those blankets to us. You have caused quite a bit of magic in this house.

As you can see, Woobie's really DO work. I have many stories such as this one that I hope to add to the Blog over the next week or so. The Woobie Roundup is currently concentrating on getting Woobies to the IG's who recently arrived at SOS Rescue. Please contact them directly if you'd like to contribute.
