AH! It's been WAY too long since a post, and I am so, so sorry! To say the least, I'm currently a bit over consumed in school, work, and k9.5, so I don't realize how time flies by. But we are still here and putt-putting through the day...house training, doc visits, so on and so forth. 😁 But here are some updates:
1️⃣ ButterNUT saw the surgeon. Her tibia/fibula have already started healing and should, believe it or not, mold back to a normal bone. Sorta cool. Her hip, on the other hand, isn't as accommodating. Surgery isn't recommended right now, but instead we will recheck her at 6mths old to see what it looks like and make a determination for surgery. She'll still need it, but it's just a matter of the best time. Meanwhile, we FINALLY got rid of her roundworms, and she's now out and about, showing the big dogs what fun is all about. Hattie is her guardian.
2️⃣ George has been urinating a lot. A LOT. We've done bloodwork and some tests, and we're going to try a medication to see if it helps. If not, it's most likely Psychogenic polydipsia, meaning it's in his head. I'm up exactly 3x a night to let him out. But he is so kind in asking...he comes to the side of the bed and gives me a very gentle boop until I wake up. ❤️ Then he makes his wobbly way to the door, "zooms" out and "zooms" back in. We shall see what the meds do, if anything.
3️⃣ Hattie...She remains incredibly gentle and sweet, but poor girl is struggling with separation anxiety pretty badly. She's to the point of being destructive and crying, so we're trying to help her understand it will all turn out okay. She's also still learning to potty outside, and that's been slow b/c she doesn't want to go out w/o foster mama. 💔 Just keep her in your thoughts and prayers because she's a darling girl who is just confused. We want her to feel good, not anxious.
💖So we've gone through lots of towels, cleaning, and potty pads between the two youngsters, but hopefully we're making progress. That little ButterNUT is a comical girl, though. Smart, too! Once we get her past her play biting, she'll be pretty perfect. She also has the cutest feet in the world. FAT WIDDLE PUPPY TOES!!!! 😍
🐾 All the pups say HI!!!
