Daisy is a beautiful six year old pug rescued from the Prince George's County Animal Shelter by the Noah's Ark Foundation. Her owners were apparently old and too sick to take care of her, but now she has new parents - me and Tom! Technically she is Tom's dog but I loved her before I even knew her (Madagascar reference). Her name was Diamond but we thought that was a bit too porn star, so Daisy it is!

Unfortunately, Daisy is sick. She came to us with what seemed like a urinary tract infection - blood in the urine, constant need to go despite only being able to get out a few drops... poor baby. But a vet visit revealed that she actually has bladder stones, and a lot of them! She is going to require surgery to remove the stones, which would have cost quite a bit except Noah's Ark has agreed to pay for it since she had it before we adopted her.



She's the friendliest, sweetest dog. Even though she must be in a lot of pain, she never whines and tries her best not to pee inside. She loves people and her stubby little tail starts wagging like crazy when people pay attention to her - which is often since she's so cute! Even the cats are quickly getting used to her presence - she never chases them, practically ignores them, and they're getting a little more curious all the time, even getting close enough to touch noses! Wouldn't it be so great if they became friends and cuddled together??
