Lolita got her bath
 

Lolita got a bath today and did a wonderful job. I put water in the tub and put her in there. She laid down in the water. lol She didn't seem to mind but at all but it wasn't her favorite activity to participate in. I used minksheen shampoo on her. I wrapped her up and combed her topknot hair out and put a grooming band in it. I don't use a dryer though. I use a space heater and comb them dry. I hold the hair so it doesn't pull their skin and gently work on any knots that I missed prior to the bath. I don't use a pin brush since Natasha doesn't like it so I only use a comb. Anyway she was a champ through the whole process. She got a sani trim but doesn't like to have her feet messed with so I couldn't get her paw pads trimmed but I will work on trying to help her get comfortable with the process. BTW... I think her tail was docked very close to her body so she doesn't have much of a nubbin.

After she got dry we went outside for a potty break and to try for some pictures. She felt very good after her bath and was trotting around... I could really tell she felt good. I got a few pictures of her to post here for everyone. It started to sprinkle so for my cameras sake so we ended early. Look at what a beauty she is.

Jennifer, she definitely is a beauty, thank you so much for taking and posting pics of her. It is nice to see her all cleaned up and enjoying herself in the yard. You're doing such a wonderful job acclimating her to all she deserves.

Awe Jen she is absolutely adorable. Look at that sweet little face.:rolleyes: Am anxiously waiting to see who her forever parents will be.

ZOMG! How cute is she.

Jen you are doing such great work with her. As much as I want her, I kinda wish your husband would crack and let you keep her.

She is so cute!!!!

Great Job on her grooming...

And BTW - It certainly does look like she has leather ear :(

I agree! Your doing such a great job with her and it seems like she is certainly taking to you... I hate to see you have to give her up... even to a good home!

She looks fabulous! Good job Jen!

Deff want this dog!
 

She is beautiful and I would love to adopt her! Please email me right away with information. My email is r0ckstar0190@aol.com I would be willing to pay for her to be shipped to Buffalo. My friend just had it done with her dog so I know its possible. I can give her a good home and lots of love. Please let me know as soon as possible!

She is BEAUTIFUL!!! You are wonderful with her. I really wish I could take her

She is so beautiful. I wish I could get her for my mom. I'll be moving out soon and my mom loves yorkies just as much as I do. She's going to miss my emmy when I leave. :(

She is gorgeous!! I'll bet she will learn to love her bath! :thumbup::thumbup: Jen, you are doing such a wonderful job with her .... you would make an invaluable foster mom for a rescue!! ;)

Thank you everyone for your kind words. I credit Lolita for coming along so well. I just gave her the time to come out of her shell on her own and didn't rush her. The real credit goes to her. She's a good little girl and though I will be sad to see her go I know that she will be going to her forever home. It would be nice if she could stay here but that's just not possible right now. I made that stupid promise to my husband and my stupid integrity wont let me back out on him. Someone recently told me somthing that helps me deal with knowing she can't stay here and the whole process of finding her adoptive family. These are not the exact words but what I took away from it was this... it is difficult to give them up but sadly there is always another one that needs helped. :cry:

We are moving along with the application process and checking references. We have a great number of applicants at this point and I'm confident that more than one of them would be a really good fit for Lolita. Though I feel everyone would give her a good home it's necessary to keep Lolitas needs at the top of the priority list when considering placement for her. I know we all are anxious to find out where she will be going and who her mommy will be. Please know that this is a top priority for me and that I appreciate everyones patients and understanding as we move through this process in Lolita's journey to her forever home. As soon as we have an answer we will start contacting people and will post the answer here.

She weighed in at 3lbs 11oz at the vet last Friday but I know she had put on some weight since she first arrived. She has been eating Wellness puppy food to help her get back up to a healthier weight. She was a bit boney so I made the decision to put her on the girls puppy food to help her out. She has dry kibble available at all times but twice a day I mix a spoon full of canned food in with her kibble to help her even more. She is filling out and looking better every day. I can't feel her bones as much so were moving in the right direction. At some point she will need to be switched to adult food once she gets to a healthy weight.

LoLo decided today that she wanted to pester the cat a bit. The cat is very easy going and belongs to my SD so he is only here temporarily. He is outside and can go into the attached garage any time he likes (my son has allergies so the cat can't come in the house) so she doesn't see him all the time but she decided today was the day to pester him a bit. She kept running after him and barking at him so poor Zeus finally jumped up on the picnic table just to get away from her. lol
