Every girl needs a white poodle

If you’ve volunteered or visited recently at Muttville Manor you may have noticed a quiet little lump of white curls. Cheyenne (http://www.muttville.org/mutt/cheyenne) is a dog that came to us with an autoimmune disorder and hasn’t been feeling like doing much but being a pretty puddle with long dancer’s legs. She hasn’t moved from her bed at all since she came to be with us. Oh little girl!

I was at Muttville earlier this week and passed by Sherri as she stroked this gorgeous, sad little dog and muttered to herself and to the dog “Every girl needs a white poodle… Every girl needs a white poodle…”

Is it true? Does every girl need a white poodle?

I went home and thought about it. And while considering it, I received an email from one of our volunteers, stating excitedly, “Hey Ali. I’ve just completed a foster application for Cheyenne. Is it too soon to start buying supplies?”

48 hours later, I received the picture you see here of Cheyenne in that new foster home, after a couple of days of receiving the love, attention and relaxation she needed.

And what I realized is that every white poodle needs a GIRL as much as a girl needs a white poodle. This dog, truly, had not sat up or smiled since she arrived at Muttville. And now look at her!
