Old lady Palm appeared in our house before last fall. Someone left an elderly shepherd in an abandoned house where she gave birth to puppies. It was impossible to watch how the former domestic dog was suffering and we decided to give her a home.
Palma has an amazing character. She is kind and wise. She softened my pain when my old lab Nicole died.
Unfortunately, lately I began to notice that her paws are swollen. This may indicate heart problems. Next week we are planning an examination at a veterinary clinic.
