HI Matt Yes she is doing great she is over 80 lbs now she is a little hard of hearing when told NO or SIT and COME, but so is Sky our male mal. But it's funny how good their hearing is when you have food!! I don't have any photos scanned yet and I want to get a good photo of her in her winter coat. She is still a little skinny but at least she is not a bag of bones and fur, like she was when we got her.
She is good with the cats in the house but outside they are fair game in her mind...... found this out this morning she tried to grab Kinky cat after he got out and tried to get back in the house I had Tundra by the scruff about 4 sec after she grabbed him... Cats OK dogs OK but a little more wary of grabbing the cat I hope, it's funny Kink and her sleep together in the house. Our other cat Obby has nailed her a few times so she tries to keep clear of her.
We know she was abused but we found out how much over the summer.... She fears water hoses and water she will not step in a wadding pool or a pond outside she is fearful of feet as in being kicked also fast hand movements she ducks most of the time. Over all she is doing great she is acting like she has been with us for years. It took time for her to learn to play with Sky now it's flip the coin as to who will start the chase or tag and run. One of her high point of the day is Pack time just before bedtime It's myself and my sweetie in bed with Sky, Tundra and Kink on the bed with us it's time for pets and belly rubs and snuggling with the kids Sky will last 5 to 10 mins then he's ready to get off Tundra you can pet her till she is raw and she would be happy Kink will let both dogs wash his face now and then, he rubs on both of them when they are laying down where he can rub their heads
