Snowy had her checkup today, she’s healing fine and will be getting her stitches out early next week.
She’s a very lively girl she’s constantly following, running and jumping up on laps and knees to give kisses and receive cuddles in return.
She adores play time with her teddy’s ,is not lazy and is always on the go lol, she calms down in the evening time when people are in her company, she feels safe and secure and will take a nap then but when shes on her own she waits and waits for someone to come in to her and mind her.
She’s trained well, she will wait when asked to, but, its still quite hard getting her to move on when out walking or stop when chasing cats.
She knows when shes done something cheeky!
She loves people and is fine with strangers.
My friend came over last night and she got an amazing greeting from Snowy who was leaping up, wagging the tail like mad trying to get her attention, I was out of the picture for a while ha ha.She has a good few years left in her and knowing how energetic and fun she is I’ve a feeling she might stick around for a while longer.
What a true stallion she is!!
Shes an inspiration to any human never mind a dog that are experiencing health issues similar to her. Thanks again to everyone who donated towards Snowy’s operation, shes a lot more energetic and happy now and thanks to Dogs In Distress and its supporters she will live out the rest of her days content,happy and pain free. Thank you!!!!!!
really glad to hear that
with a wonderful mom like you she’ll get over all her traumas in no time!
fingers crossed that her twitching and swaying is only temporarilyI got some snaps of snowy a while ago. Shes incredibly Photogenic and was really curious about the camera!
DSC06134.JPGDSC06138.JPGDSC06149.JPGShe was brought to the vets again today because her outer stitching came apart on one of her wounds! She didn’t show any signs of pain, at all, shes been really lively since the day she came home… it’s incredible.
The vet and his partner loved her and loved taking care of her in the vet she was very well behaved.
She loves human attention, absolutely loves it.
She has stopped urinating frequently in the house so she was actually toilet trained to begin with.
She cries when I leave her in the house when I’m at the shops so I’ve been told non stop until I come home.
Shes got a "trendy" bandage on her stomach now to help quicken the healing process. She looks like a fashionista! The "cons" Of her personality are almost non-existent. shes a lovable well behaved fun energetic dog. however.
She Doesn’t like cats
can be picky with what dogs she likes/dislikes when out on a walk, sometimes its best to keep her on a short lead when A dog arrives.
Stops frequently when out on a walk and its hard to get her to follow your lead!
These are so minuscule though and can be worked on.Thanks for all the kind words guys.
Snowy is so active , shes been playing non stop and venturing out into the garden and following us around… Shes an amazing role model !
She slept for a few hours last night I made sure I stayed with her, I was woken up with kisses , what a lovely morning greeting !
It really is amazing how much strength she has, she hasn’t shown one sign that shes in any pain and I’m not just saying that cause I’m her foster mom! Its true Shes a fighter I never noticed any twitching at all. She never banged her head hard, she fell up the stairs a few times with excitement in the first day or two that she was here but she seemed perfectly fine after it with some cuddles of course, tail wagging as usual!
How is she doing now?
I knew about the wart on her head but was told it’s perfectly fine and doesn’t need any medical intervention :/
let us know how she gets on in the next few weeks….
thanksI just collected Snowy from the vets today and
shes as energetic as ever. You’d never think she just had a major operation yesterday the painkillers definitley haven’t worn off yet.The tumours were completely removed but the vet thinks that they are malignant which means there is chance of them growing back. . . if this will definitely happen or not its unknown but please don’t let this put you off the little girl, shes a big bundle of love and is the strongest dog I think I’ve ever been in the company of, aswell as other endearing qualities that she has. I will post more details after I bring her for her check-up.
She is in really good health beside it, Her kidney and liver function is excellent, she has a little heart murmur but it shouldn’t cause her much problems.
Its difficult to tell yet if shes actually fully toilet trained or not yet.. but when she recovers I’ll work on it with her.She got spayed aswell so shes a lot of recovering to do! I’ll include pictures when shes feeling better, even though shes acting like it already
She’ll hopefully nap for the rest of the day once she calms down. She’s so so glad to be back and appreciates being loved so much! It’s adorable. Thank god for animals like her in this world, it makes you strive to be more optimistic in your life.
Thanks for the good luck wishes.
snowy had her operation this afternoon and It all went well
shes snoozing in the vets atm and I will be picking her up tomorrow!
She has loads of energy and a strong spirit so I’d say shell recover pretty quick.Thanks so much to kathy for all the organizing shes done for the little girl!
The girl had been living with two tumours for god knows how long and you wouldn’t think it, she appears to be very healthy on the outside
I’ll post about her progress and more details when I bring her home tomorrow.Snowy says a big thank you to everyone who donated
I’m really glad shes fully settled in now!
I see you finally got her house trained too!
I hope shes gained a bit of weight too, she was underweight when she was first rescued but shes a thin dog naturally.I underestimated snowys strength and energy!
Shes quite active and loves following everyone around the house and back garden. She does fall sometimes when trying to get up steps but she picks herself back up again and continues on happy as normal!
What an amazing little girl she is! Shes a lovely dog to walk, she stays beside you and rarely pulls on the lead. She does however stop quite a lot to sniff and its difficult to get her to understand your commands.
You have to be stern with her in order for her to continue to walk again. I’m not the best at disciplining cos i’m too gentle but i’ll do my very best at trying to train her.
I’m trying to wean her off wet food as I think shes been on a wet food diet for most of her seven years… Shes not really taking to the dry food yet but it’ll take time.she doesn’t seem to be in much pain but does take rests often.
will update again soonDespite all her problems snowy is a happy dog and doesn’t let her health prevent her from enjoying life
She doesn’t show her pain much and loves playing with her new teddy.
She is slow when out on walks and can only handle 15 minutes or so before she gets tired. shes loves all the new smells and stops for a second look at passers by.
I’m trying to house train her atm but due to no fault of her own she urinates frequently without control.
Shes a big bundle of cuddles and loves getting kissed on her cute black nose!
Her favourite pastime is playing with a mere cat teddy above anything else
I’m hoping everything goes smoothly with her operation as it’s going to be a big one. Shes really gentle with humans and is welcoming to everyone. She settled in really quickly here as soon as she arrived she was investigating the house and backgarden and saying hello to everyone.
I’ll keep posted about her before and after her operation
every single donation big or small is greatly appreciated
