"Baby"

L ori  ,

 

We received your call, checking up on how “Baby” is doing.  Her name is now Annie, and she’d doing just great!  She’s been to the vet, who suggested we get her up to about 40 lbs (she was 37).  Her back right leg has been damaged, so we may get that x-rayed sometime, but she’s obviously learned how to work around that.  She’s a sweetheart and we just love her.  Our last dog, who was a german shepherd/border collie mix, recently died, so the biggest adjustment for us has been getting used to a quiet little girl who hardly ever makes a peep, when we’ve had such a big boisterous ball of energy who never stopped talking J 

 

We have found that we can’t let her off the leash at all, even in our own yard, because she immediately takes off down the road/across the road, through the woods, wherever.  We have a 100’ cable run, and she’s perfectly happy to be outside with us and still be hooked to that.  We have also discovered that we can’t leave food on the counter – yesterday she ate half of a large pizza!  Oops!  J  She seems to have an iron stomach though, as she never did get sick – but she did look pretty miserable, all stretched out on the couch all evening.  She’s totally back to normal today though.

Here’s a link to pictures of her.  I think she’s pretty happy J
