Hello to all! First off, we would love to thank Mary's sponsor for welcoming her to the USA! So kind and generous of you! Her rescue and medical bills added up quickly, and we are so thankful for your support!
Now, for an update on our sweet gal. She is officially child, cat, and dog friendly :-). She loves to meet other dogs. She barks when she sees them, but has met both males and females with no issues. She sniffed a cat and walked away, and has been child approved for kids as young as 1 :-). She dressed as Eyeore for our trick or treaters last night and they were in love with her. Our friends brought over their two young boys (3 and 1) and Mary had no problems and worries around them at all. Kid approved for sure!
Her hips are improving greatly. She's on Rimadyl for her pain management right now and it's helping tremendously. She is also on glucosamine and fish oil, which she should continue to take for the foreseeable future. She's gone up and down our stairs at least 3 times now, and she's gaining more confidence all around! She has shown interest in chasing tennis balls, which helps build the muscle she lost in her legs in the years she was living in a basement.
When Mary was rescued, she was sad and depressed. Who wouldn't be after living so many years of her life in a very undesirable situation? The volunteers in Turkey did a wonderful job nursing her back to health as best they could and got her healthy enough to make the trip to the US. Mary is now so incredibly happy and is a joy to have in our home. She is grateful for every meal, for every pet, and for every smile she gets from her humans. If you're looking for a beautifully mellow, sweet, senior girl who only wants to give and receive love, she's your girl!
