Sally's Story
Part Two
Sally had a big problem, she was bad tempered, she bit anything thateither moved or didn't move and she scared thelife out of most people that met her.
There was a time when we feared that she might have to be put down...but we were lucky.
Sally was not mad or bad, she had a small lump of wax in one of her ears and she was in more or less constant maddening pain.
Imagine having the worst earache ever, and having it all the time.
That was what was wrong with Sally.
One day I noticed a strange smell in one of her ears, I couldn't miss it because I had got my nose stuck in her ear as I wrestled her to the ground when she was having a particularly bad episode.
I recognised the smell, we once had a dog who picked up an ear infection and the smell is like something that has been dead for a long time, too long.
So we took her off to the vet and she had an operation to remove a great lump of hardened wax from her ear.

I have always said that if I had not seen the two crooked teeth in the front of her lower jaw I would not have believed that we were getting the same dog back.
What we did get back was this;
A lazy Labrador!
Suddenly we got the pup that we expected in the first place, she was a rather bigger pup than we bargained for but she was soon making up for all the time that she hadn't been able to have as a pup, and she hasn't stopped yet.
Labradors really so have the capacity to sleep all day, but you have to be prepared for the occasional
MAD HALF HOUR.
This is Sally after she discovered the Yellow Pages.
