Dear little Cricket was rescued from an animal shelter where she was an unclaimed stray.  Cricket is an older girl, thought to be around 10.  She is small at 5 pounds.

Cricket has a mature cataract in her left eye.  She has visited a doggie eye specialist and we were told that any surgery at this point would be elective, since she has vision in her other eye, but that if she develops a cataract or other problem in the "good" eye; then a decision will have to made about surgery.

Little Cricket suffers from food allergies.  In her foster home she is being fed a raw diet and the allergies have improved a lot, but she still requires frequent bathing, benadryl, and an occasional steroid shot.

Cricket gets along fine with the other dogs in her foster home, but does not play with them.  She is mostly OK with the cats.  Cricket just hangs out...she has a pillow and a snuggle sack in her favorite corner and seems happy just to stay there most of the time.  She always shows up at meal time and fusses at her foster mom until she gets fed.
