23-070 Nora  is a 3-year-old spayed female Goldendoodle, who favors the Golden parent in appearance. She has a history of eating rocks and had to have surgery in November 2022 for a blockage. On September 4, 2023, she started having the same symptoms as in 2022 – the owners took her to the ER and the x-ray showed a blockage, which they assumed was a rock. With three kids under age 5 and the youngest in the NICU, the owners could not afford another surgery.  Nora  is a friendly, sweet, patient dog. She is good with kids, dogs (lived with a 2-year-old Labradoodle), and cats (lived with 2 cats) which she is curious about and likes to chase but never catches. She will chase every bird that flies into the yard but so far has not caught any. If  Nora  smells feathers, she will tear anything apart to get to the feathers (the owners found out their couch was stuffed with feathers when they came home and found she had destroyed the couch and feathers were everywhere).  Nora  is now enjoying life with an adoptive couple and their two resident dogs,  Callan  and  Cassie , and their cat. All but the cat met her when her foster brought her to  Dine Out With The Dogs  in October. The family all fell in love with  Nora , submitted their application right away, and the foster did their home evaluation. The foster has been living with a rock-eater,  Danny , for three years, so she gave them many tips on how to handle a dog like that – she especially warned them that even with an all-grass yard, rocks will work their way up to the surface, so they will need to do rock-patrol in the yard every few days or put a muzzle or OutFox mesh hood on the dog when she goes out to do her business. We are sure they will be diligent with  Dora  (her new name) and that she will have a long, happy life with them.
