also, puppy update :)
we’re 100% adopting this sweet baby on friday. she had to go back to the shelter for a week 2 weeks ago to get some exams done bc she had a cough i was worried about (thought it may be kennel cough, which is highly contagious). she’s okay, but they did find extensive evidence of previous trauma on the right side of her body consistent with injuries from what they guess was a car strike when she was a little puppy. her right eye is smaller than her left, her right lung has scarring, and her hind right femur has healed fractures and is slightly twisted outward.
despite it all, she’s perfectly healthy :) the only issue to look out for is the early development of arthritis as she ages. she’s gotten SO much more comfortable around men and with car rides and going places in the 1.5 weeks we’ve had her, and i can’t wait to be able to start solidifying her training. we’re already planning so many fun trips with her :) she’s going to the beach w us in may!!
willow is truly my soulmate. she has bonded so intensely to me, i couldn’t even imagine not adopting her at this point. she’s 90% potty trained now, and her funky lil personality has really started to show. i can’t wait to officially make her mine ❤️
