The Heidi Update - Oct 2


Well, its been about a month now... depending on how you do the math.

While giving Heidi a bath today (still on the 2-bath-a-week thing) I did some thinking.

This is our first foster, and I've come to realize how much work it really is. At times I get a bit down about the things we still have to work on with Heidi... she still has a lot to learn.

But... today I thought a bit about how far we have come. Really, its quite remarkable. The scared little stinkpot from day one is but a shadow of what she has become already. Right now she is giving Bad Cuz the business in the living room... squeaking him for all he is worth. Her mange is doing much better - I noticed today that she has a good layer of hair going in the places that were bald... within a week I doubt you will be able to pick them out.

She does so very well on walks... today her usual mosey had a bit more bounce to it. You can really tell she is feeling better all around. Its quite amazing what these dogs can do when given the chance. A month of good food and vet care has made her a whole new Weim. I can't wait to see where she can go from here!
Thought I would include a few photos to show you what I mean....
The photos on the left are around weeks 1 and 2, those on the right are week 4.
