Coral Annie

Coral was one of the most beautiful dogs, inside and out!
She wasn't always beautiful, though. When she first came to us she 30 lbs overweight, severely hypothyroid, anemic and had pancreatitis.  Her eyes were swollen and she was quite a mess.  The vet had actually recommended euthanizing her.  Thankfully her foster mom thought she deserved a chance and gave her to me.  She was and forever will be my heart dog.  Oh, how I dreaded the day we'd be apart.  Coral, I'll always miss you.

Coral in December 2000 when she first came to us.  In 2002 she had two TPLO surgeries for cruciate ligament ruptures.  Look at the pictures below and you'll know how she did it!

Coral doing what she does best - leaping after her Frisbee!
Yes, my girl takes after her Mom - she's a tom boy!

Coral goes swimming last summer August 2001 at Auntie Liz's house.

Coral's famous dive.  She will NOT stop retrieving her Frisbee until
it's time to go home (or the gate to the pool is closed!)

Coral loves to carry her two balls around with her.

"Okay, I'll do a one-ball pose too!"

Coral loves to snuggle

And she really loves her mommy.
