Happy Thanksgiving!

************************************* MY "ADOPTION" STORY. December 23th, 2005 was the day my mom got me. She had been wanting a girl dog for a long time.She wanted a Jack Russell or a Fox Terrier. She never found one here.My auntie came from Saltillo to spend Christmas with my mom and my grandparents. They were talking about "that dog". My mom was sad and she said that if she could not find a JR or a FT she would like a Dachshund! And my grandpa told her he had seen an ad in the newspaper offering a Dachshund! She called to that place. They told her I was a girl and there she went with my auntie to see me. As soon as she saw me she fall in love with me!She paid and we went home. In our way to home, my auntie asked to my mom what was going to be my name. My mom said "Lorenza" and my auntie looked at my mom thinking she was "lorenza" (a way to call crazy people in spanish).1 hour later, I started puking and puking. Then liquid poop. My mom was in panic. She call that Vet (the man who had me was a Vet!) and he said it was the change of environment (?) and to give me some time. My mom could not sleep that night. More puking more pooping. Next day she took me there and I got an injection. And then another one. No changes. Next day, Christmas day, I was there again. My mom cried and cried a lot. She knew I was very sick. She thought I was going to die because I did not want to eat or drink water. My auntie asked to that Vet if I had Parvo. He said NO. More shots. To make it short... I was full of worms and he did not know!!! Can you believe that?My mom is very stubborn and thanks to that I am alive now! I had another health episodes treated by that Vet until my mom got tired of him.Thankfully my mom found a wonderful Vet who has been taking very good care of me! At 9 months old I was spayed and one month later I had another surgery because I had a mammary tumor. My mom slept on the floor with me for almost 2 months.Some time later I was gaining weight. Some tests and my Vet found I had a bad thyroid. Since then I take a pill everyday and I am doing very well. I have to say I came here to change my mom's life. She used to be very lonely. She spent all her time at home in her bedroom watching tv. But... here comes Lorenza who loves to be with her grandparents and with her mom at the same time! Sooo... when she needs to do something at our home, she takes me with her and a few minutes later I want to go with my grandparents soooo she takes me back with them and that goes and goes.I almost never be alone at home. They take turns to go out so there is always someone with me.Vacations?? Parties?? Forget about them.People who know my family think they are crazy because they put me always first. My mom says "Yes, we are happily crazy.... and we don't care about your opinion"Soooo, I was my mom's own Christmas present and she says I am the best gift she has ever had! Thanks for reading my story! ***

I don't have a lot of puppy pictures of me. At that time my mom did not have a digital camera and that was the last of her worries!
