Athena's Update

Hi. Today marks the 2 month mark that she's been with us. 
 
My only complaints:  she still urinates in the house and she barks...a lot.   Other than that she is absolutely wonderful still.   
 
Her surgery is scheduled for Thursday. Both she and her sister, Duchess, are going in. Duchess needs to have a small benign tumor removed.  So yay to that.
 
As far as the physical issues she had when we adopted her:
Both ears were infected. She had a yeast infection on her back & had a strip of hair gone. It was all scabbed over and white. 



First 5 mins we had her. 4/3



Underneath her she was all black. Her underside & her 'elbows'. She had loose skin where it appeared she was underfed.   Her teets were large & distended, possibly over bred.
 
Some pictures (found in an earlier post) for a reminder:

 So, here she is today. A healthy weight, the scabs gone, the black is slowly fading but it's still there.  Plus she's just happy.

 

Yum! I stole sissy's bone.

 

Filled out.  Nice size girl.
