More About Angel Spirit

I saw this little sweetheart 1 night late at night on rural Highway 395 just outside of town. No street lights out there. I just saw this little white something walking back and forth in the middle of the road with simi trucks flying by and cars too. They were honking their horns at her and trying not to hit her. I went from 65 miles an hour to stop just like that and pulled to side of the road turned my flashers on and jumped out and ran after her. I was lucky and no cars were coming however with no street lights or head lights I just couldn't find her but then I saw her. The way she was walking I thought she had to be blind or was in shock. I ran up to her and picked her up and got off the road just in time as she was walking back into the traffic. I didn't even realize how far I had gone away from my car that was now on the other side of the Highway and there was a steady stream of cars going by. Then I realized my car was still running, keys in it along with my purse and cell phone etc and I'm out in the middle of nowhere late at night walking along the highway with a little dog that was full of stickers and needles from cactus plants she must have walked into and now they were sticking in me too. For a min. I thought I must be out of my mind but then all of a sudden I thought nope. I wouldn't have done it any other way. Then there was a break in traffic and I ran across to my car. When I got to where I was going to meet someone that was transporting 2 little chihuahuas to us from up north, I was able to look at her and get her some chicken from the burger place there. She was so hungry and thirsty and scared. She was shaking like crazy from both fear and being cold. I have no idea what she was doing out there alone and she was out there for awhile I think from the way she ate and drank. There are lots and lots of coyotes out there plus the simi trucks and she can only see a little bit but not much. She is an old dog and doesn't have to many teeth left at all but her rescue was 1 I will never forget. Now we just have to get her groomed and all the stickers out of her and get her checked out by the vet tomorrow then the real hard part of finding someone loving and caring enough to take in an older dog and give her the type of life she so deserves. What is shocking is that she wasn't afraid of the traffic or being alone where she could have been a meal for a coyote but she is scared to death when people pick her up that she does not know. Someone has been very mean to this little girl for her to be that scared. She is so happy and content curled up in front of a warm fire place with a full belly. She is such a love. Do you have room in your home and heart for just 1 more very special little dog?
