Hello my name is Leela.

Hello my name is Leela.

This right here is my best friend at her worst hour. We found her one October evening in an alley, alone, howling in agony, begging for help. That same night she was rushed to the vet and had to have her left eye removed. Her chances of survival were slim and not many people had faith in her.

I had faith in her along with other volunteers. With the love and care everyone provided the little puppy took her first steps into a better life.

Less than two weeks later those little first steps were now giant leaps. We named her Leela from Futurama because she was our one eye'd, independent, strong little lady with a mind of her own!

After her first bath her personality really came out! It was then I knew I wanted to adopt her myself.

Some of you may remember this picture. It was Leela's first photo shoot. I uploaded it straight to imgur and your responses were nothing but kind. We both thank you for that.

But enough with the serious stuff! I have gotten quiet a few messages asking how Leela is doing. Well lets just put it this way....

She is a cat lover as long as the cat isn't on my lap.

She helps me pick out my clothes.

She hattteesss the vets.

I'm a dog groomer so she is my subject of work on slow days!

She takes it like a champ!

If I let her she would sleep on my keyboard like a kitty.

She makes sure I'm safe at all times. That includes when I'm in the potty!

She lets me know when she wants my attention.

She hogs up half of my bed.

She stretches with me every morning when we wake up together.

she even makes funny faces with me!

And she even makes funny faces with me!

Sometimes her faces are even better than mine!

So overall I think this picture sums it up. Taken today, January 26th, 2013 at 5 months old, Leela the one-eyed puppy is happy and healthy at home with me. She is my dog, my best friend, and the greatest thing that ever happened to me. I love ya little booger!
