Jenni 09-255 [1]

Hello everyone!  Let me introduce you to Jenni.  Jenni, Jen-Bear, Jen-Jen...she responds the best she can to all these names.  Jenni came to stay with us last Saturday.  She was let go after she refused to take care of her last litter - she got her freedom and RAGOM gave her a new start on a great life.

Like any puppy mill dog, Jenni has a long way to go.  Her spirits are high and she is a curious one.  We are pretty sure she will be just a perfectly happy and well adjusted companion with some work and love.  Jenni started her good life with a visit to the vet and a 1/2 day at the doggie spa.  After getting almost all the pink color out of her beautiful coat (remnants of the carpet in her crate at her old place), getting all the knots and yucky stuff out of her hair, she now looks like a beautiful princess!  The vet visit went pretty well.  We will be watching Jenni for a few things but will know more after a few weeks of good food and care.  Jenni is also working on losing some of her baby fat.  She's doing great so far - 3 lbs down, just about 20 more to go!  :)

Jenni is not sure if she can trust people yet, so most of her day is spent pacing up and down the house and making sure we do not try to "get" her.  This means that most of our day is spent ignoring her and trying to make her feel like we are not interested in "getting" her...it's quite interesting.  She will eat food out of my hands, and come and get her favorite treat and will follow Jedi around if he decides to pay her some attention.  She also likes taking all the toys out of the basket at night when we are all asleep and ripping off a head or an arm - typical golden girl!

More to come on Jenni in the following weeks.  Attached are a few pics of Jenni on her first trip to the outdoors this week - she did great!
