Carly had her spay surgery and eye surgery last week. She looked a little rough the first few days. Her eyes are almost completely healed and they look so much better. We just need to let the hair grow back, and you would never know she had surgery!
Carly also has some good new to share! She has found her very own forever family. She will have a fur sister to play with and a mom and dad that will love and care for her.
Congratulations to the N family.
Carly is doing well in foster care. She loves the other dogs in the house and gets along great with them. She is a follower, so whatever they do, she is right by them. This past weekend, we went to the RAGOM office. Foster Mom had a meeting there to talk about GOLDZILLA. We got there a little early, so Carly and I took a walk around the grounds. The office is located at SkyRidge Business Center & Nature Preserve. They have a very nice trail going around the preserve. Carly really liked it!
As you can see by the picture, Carly is wearing a Gentle Leader. She is doing great with this collar. She walks right by my side and doesn't do any pulling.

Carly has had a good week! She had a weekend outing to the Minnesota Arboretum. She was very nervous with the crowds of people. She did much better on the trails where there were fewer people.
We thought you might like a Carly update!
Carly is doing great. She has found comfort with the other dogs in the house.
She has also found pleasure in chewing on toys or a bone. She just needs to learn it is not OK to chew on the dog beds.
We took Carly on a road trip this past weekend. We went to the lake. Carly did great in the car.
We found out that she is a follower. She will follow my dogs everywhere. This is very helpful when we want her to go outside or to get her to come back into the house. While at the lake, she followed my dogs and enjoyed exploring the yard and woods. She even started following me around.
Carly has learned a lot in the short time she has been at our home. She is still nervous, but it does not stop her from joining in. She is now coming with us on our daily walks and is doing OK with a flat collar and leash. She does pull a little at first, then will settle in and stay by my side. We do a three-mile walk, and she is keeping up with the pack.
Carly is also doing great in the house. She has not had any potty accidents and is keeping her crate clean and dry. She does not tell us when she needs to go out; we just keep her on a good schedule, and that has been working great.
Carly had her recheck at the vet, and with some of the swelling gone from around her eyes, the vet has determined that she has entropion. This is a condition where the eyelids turn inward and cause the lashes to rub on the eye. She will have this repaired when she gets her spay surgery in a few weeks.
Carly has learned that the human touch is not such a bad thing. She is cautiously coming to me for pets. She even snuggled up on the sofa with me and took a nap! I did lift her up to be next to me, though it was her choice to stay and nap.
She is a very sweet girl!
