ahhhh.....our quiz...

she was pretty and soft and tended to gain weight. she was an independent basenji, not really belonging to any of the cliques in our group. she marched to her own drummer.

 

how we loved her.

attached is my most favorite photo of her.

gracie had bitten quiz in the neck in a disagreement over something, a gopher, I think.

it was necrotic almost immediately, so the vet worked at saving her, and was bitten for her work. quiz was treated, elizabethan collar put on, and she was kept in an enclosure at the vet hospital, a cage with tall sides.

the vet wasn't happy with her.

but...the next morning when the staff appeared, the collar was found on the other side of the wall, the tall wall. quiz had removed and tossed it.

our vet called and said she understood more why we loved her independent self so.

 

she survived the wound only to be found riddled with cancer and helped along on the operating table 5 months later.
