i love seeing her updates.[/quote:2es3zfv9]She’s still holding onto her curly ears – which is great – they really set her face off, she’s such a cutie with them! She’s lost her puppy fluffy fur and is getting a very silky coat, it doesn’t seem that she’ll be overly long haired. But she’s growing so fast! She’s nearly grown out of her puppy collar already! So I think it will be off to MaxiZoo for the fitting of a new one! I can’t believe how much she’s growing – when she first got here she was teeny tiny compared to the cat (which isn’t hard as he’s huge!) – but now she’s so much bigger than him!
She’s such a happy dog overall – she loves doing new things and going to new places – she’s also very confident aswell – almost nothing scares her. Everyone who had a hand in her rescue is owed many many thanks by us – she’s so much a member of the family already its hard to believe she hasn’t always been here.
We knew we wanted her 200% after losing our last dog – but still in the back of your mind you almost wonder if you can love another as much as the first – but she’s so similar to him in ways (yet has her own wonderful personality and characteristics) – that I think if we could have "designed" a dog from scratch (looks, personality and all the rest) she’s exactly what we would have created! So thanks so much for taking her those 7 weeks ago!
Thanks Kali for the good wishes.
You look like you got into the groove for Paddy’s Day.
Love your photos getting all grown up but still very pretty.
Keep in touch we all love to hear how you are doing.
I see you have got the humans right where you want them…….loving you and that’s what it’s all aboutTo everyone at D.I.D
I haven’t been in touch lately so I thought that I’d say a quick hello to everyone and give an update. I’ve been to so many exciting places lately! I’ve gone to the beach where I had a fantastic time chasing my ball all around, and since I love to dig I was encouraged to dig the sand and WOW that was soooo much fun! Sand was flying everywhere and my legs were just a blur, I was stopped before I dug all the way through to China! But just barely! And nearly every day I get to go to the park for hours and hours (my peoples say its about 2 hours but it feels like forever!) And I just love to run and run and run and chase my ball, I literally won’t stop until the ball disappears into someones pocket. Then I’ll relax for awhile and sniff around until my beloved ball reappears. Sometimes my peoples bring a proper football and I like to play football with them – sometimes they tell me I’m not really playing football but I still think I’m better than Messi and Rooney!
I’ll leave you all with some photos so you can see that I’m still growing and growing and growing – my peoples are convinced that Tracy laced my puppy food with Miracle Grow!SAM_0444.JPGSAM_0447.JPGSAM_0448.JPGoh my goodness she has got so big
,still as pretty as ever.im not surprised she loves the ball as when she was with me she could play for hours with a tennis ball or a football.she is just gorgeous and its great to see pictures of her grow up.I TOTALLY agree – Miracle Grow has been involved
It obviously worked – what a big, beautiful girl you are and reading between the lines, I suspect your peoples are pretty proud of you:DWow Kali you are still a stunner just a leggy model type now …..you would be a contender for D.I.D’s next top model!
Well, the little girl is growing up – its official now. She went for a key-hole spay with Paul Kelly in Ratoath today. He did such an amazing job, the incision is so small! She was so quiet and subdued tonight overall – still feeling the effects of today naturally but did perk up just before bed time (of course!) but she nibbled some food and had a brief chew of her bone and is now snoozing again next to me.
It was really only today when she wasn’t here did we fully realize how fast she became part of the family and how much she means to us. I was at a loss most of today, no one wanted letting in or out, no food dishes to be filled, no friend to go to the park with – it was so sad! She’s such an amazing little dog, so friendly and happy. Everywhere I go with her, people can’t not stop and give her a rub and a pet and tell me how gorgeous she is, and she of course loves every bit of the attention and praise. I’ve had people in the park travel far out of their intended path to come and talk to me about her. Everyone is amazed how well behaved and obedient she is. I can’t say enough what a great puppy she’s been and is growing into herself, her personality and her new life here with us. Now that she’s back – I never want her to go away again!
A home isn’t a home without the pitter patter of doggy feet!Thanks to everyone at DID for helping this little girl out and getting her to us. We knew the moment we spotted her that she was the perfect dog for us. And the only problem has been – we didn’t realize how great she was and how perfect she’d fit in here! But sure, that’s a mistake I’m happy to make!
Thanks aswell to Kay (?? I think?? I was at a concert that night and missed her name!) for finally getting through to me about getting her spayed. I had spent weeks and weeks doing research about the key-hole surgery and discovered that only 2 vets in all of Ireland actually do that procedure! Luckily, one was close to me so I called and spoke with him and thought he sounded like a fantastic vet and that the key hole spay would be so much better all around for Kali so made the appointment for a week later to take her in. And Kay called 2 days before to see if I’d gotten it done – and we soon connected that I’d made the appointment with the DID vet Paul Kelly! I’d never realized there was a certain vet for DID let alone that he was it. So it was a happy coincidence all around. He’s a fantastic gentleman and its so obvious how much he loves animals and his job, he was so great and gentle with Kali it was a wonderful experience (for us both!) to visit him and let him work his magic of the key hole spay.
Hello All
Wow – its been quite a summer – I’ve been so busy but I thought it might be time to drop by with an update and some photos.
In May I had an operation, it hurt a little but I was healed up very quickly (Mommy says within a week I was better but had to stay quiet for 2 weeks) I only had 1 stitch and Mommy also says the worst part of it all was trying to keep me quiet for 2 weeks with no running or jumping or ball chasing! I did get to chew soooooo many bones though and I learned what hide & seek is! Thats so much fun!I also got to go on holiday! We went to visit friends in the country – there was so much to do – I made friends with the dog we were staying with and we’d run around fields and go swimming in a lake – after a week I never wanted to come home! Oh and when I was there I made this crazy friend – his name was Donkey – I barked at him when I saw him at a distance but then he came over to say hello and I had to hide behind my Mommy then – I think I’m brave – but I’m really a wuss!
I’ll also include a picture my Mommy took on the 4th of July which is Independence day – we got to eat food outside – my peoples called it a bbq – and I got this crazy yummy thing called corn on the cob – I’d watched the peoples eat it and I ate mine just like them! Nibbling all the tasty corn stuff off of that hard cob.
I also got to go golfing with my Daddy – He said I was the best behaved dog on the course! I used my "down stay" that they taught me and I stayed by Dad’s golf bag while he took his shot and then I’d get to run around like crazy while we went to the next shot. There was a lake there so I got to go swimming and while I was off in the bushes I’d find golf balls and bring them back – once I even managed to get it into the cup! Not the one with the flag, so Dad says it didn’t count – but I still think I got a hole in one! (with that shot and with my family!)
I hope everyone enjoys the pictures that I’ll include! Hope all the DID dogs out there are having a great summer!
Licks and Tail Wags
Kali
