Jan ~
I'm guessing she was debarked because there were probably a lot of dogs at that kennel. I don't know very much of her background except for what I see in her behavior and the debarking and that she has leather ear and has had two litters - one by C-section and she raised the litter and one prematurely and the puppies died. She was pretty healthy when I first got her except for the leather ear. She was a little thin, but not by much and now I am finding her to just be slim. She had/has a shiny coat and bright eyes that weren't/aren't runny. No earmites, worms, kennel cough, etc. She was shaved, but her coat is growing in nice and silky, quickly too. Which I am surprised because usually a silky coat grows slowly. I wish I had more insight to her past.

I meant to tell everyone too that she is normal when it's just her and I. She smiles this big toothy grin at me and wiggles her little butt. It's so funny. She loves to cuddle in my lap and she follows me around everywhere. She does have a very lovey and sweet personality. Here's a few pictures of her. |
