It has been one full, action packed, roller coaster ride of a week since Lulu was pulled from the shelter. Oh, what a difference all the good food and good company has made. She's still skinny, but her waistline is beginning to fill out now (as it should, she eats like a horse). I’m pleased to see she’s cautious and careful about new places, but not terrified. She has bounce-back; it doesn’t take her long to find the courage to give scary things another inspection, all on her own without any help from me. That’s an impressive trait considering she’s likely been chained in the yard her whole life.
She is adjusted very well to life in a real house. She loves having another dog to play with and is a sweet and spunky girl. Lulu has shown some food guarding behavior. Any person can touch her food, but she will snap if any animal walks by while she is eating. She is learning to ignore the cats, and she doesn't yet show any effects from her heartworms. We will start treatment for those soon.
