The undernourished puppy with mange has doubled her weight and is growing new hair.
The shelter puppy I blogged about on January 17 is still improving. She's come from a sad little waif at death's door to a sassy, active little puppy. You would not know she's the same dog. Her hair is coming back in a reddish tan color, she has doubled her weight, and is developing a spicy personality. She is still on follow up treatment for the mange and worms but her energy and strength are growing in leaps and bounds. She chews on her hoof and loves tossing it into the air. She gets rather indignant when she can't have my constant attention. Her little bark is sometimes combined with a sort of yelp/howl, as if she's saying, "Look at me and look at me NOW!" Her appetite is voracious and I love to watch her devour her food. She always finishes up with a few hearty licks of her lips. That's thanks enough for me!
