Hi! My name is Marj. I am mom to Lady. Some of you "know" me from other forums, I think.
For those who don't, Lady is my first Maltese, adopted 4&1/2 years ago after her first mom moved away and left her tied to a tree without food or water for 4 days before she was rescued. She had her first seizure a couple of days after I adopted her so we guess her so-called mom didn't want to deal with them. My neighbor who rescued her had known Lady since puppyhood and she had always been healthy in her first 4&1/2 years, but she is most likely a pet shop/puppy mill pup who was a ticking genetic timebomb waiting to go off. First, the epilepsy, then a year and 1/2 later, diabetes. But she is doing great despite all this and I wouldn't trade her for any other Malt on earth!

Lady is very cute, I am so glad she is with you now!
