Sadie had her vet checkup today and got her deworming medication and one shot. She did great! The vet says that she is 3 1/2 lbs. That means in the month we've had her she has put on 2 lbs! Wow!! She might turn out to be a big girl when she is full grown. The vet also recommended that if I want her ears to stand up to just cut the hair on her ears and in her ears and use regular masking tape at the base of her ears for a week and it should train the cartelage (sp?) to stand up on its own. She will pull and try to take the tape off but to keep putting it on. And if I dont care about her ears, to just leave her be! She has to go back in 3 weeks for one more shot.....Just an update!
