Enjoy scrolling through all of our Frosted Face senior animals who have benefited from our mission at Frosted Faces Foundation. They are listed in order of date of rescue, including those that have passed. Frosted Faces who still need families are listed under Available Frosted Faces. Elsa was brought in as a stray and labelled "rescue only" for bad behavior. On that day, Elsa the Snow Queen became our little sassy teenager who got dragged on family outings for the next three years!
Elsa leaped off of curbs, she carried bones around the house, she pawed at the door to come inside after going potty, and she always walked very slowly on leash as if to resist being controlled. Whenever she offered us a kiss, the room was silenced and stilled in surprise to witness her moments of trust and affection. Elsa was so soft, so beautiful. We will never forget that. Thank you to Amber Tkach for being Elsa's monthly sponsoring Fan.
Elsa knew tricks from the first day we got her! She knew "shake" "sit" "down" "roll over" "spin" and "double five. He ate very little upon rescue, but he loved eggs! He was diagnosed with congestive heart failure by our veterinarians. We loved him up, and tried to give him as many positive and caring experiences as possible! Ernie went on a trip to Fiesta Island, watched sunsets on Mission Bay, tried on a couple new outfits, ate some great new human foods, and received a lot of snuggles.
A short couple weeks passed, and on May 19th, , while we were at the vet for chest x-rays, he went into cardiac arrest and passed away. Ernie taught us how precious our time is here on Earth, as our hearts were set at ease after his passing, knowing how special his last weeks had been. The previous owners said she was too ill. Thanks to The Barking Lot for helping us to rescue her, and Kathleen McCabe who transported this little sweetie to us! The whole first evening Edie was passing out every 40 minutes!
We took her to Bay Park Veterinary Clinic the next morning to learn that she was having syncopatic episodes due to congestive heart failure. After getting her a prescription for the appropriate medications, she trotted out of the vet, and hadn't had an episode the rest of her time with us. Edie still wheezed a bit when she got too excited, so we tried to be very gentle with her. Edie sat at our feet wherever we were dwelling, and when we were eating, she stood at our feet and barked with a whole-hearted hop!
