Update on Beauty


(Above photo from Beauty's fosters who foster for Dog Rescuers Inc., a most excellent local rescue.)

She's doing well. After hexidine baths and immunity shots and vitamin C, a quick round of prednisone and a mostly exclusive diet of Taste of the Wild dog food (venison and bison and no grains), Beauty's skin seems to be recovering, her hair's growing back and she's gaining weight.

Beauty is living in what sounds like a wonderful home with loads of kids to pay her constant attention which she of course loves. And she's an only dog so she doesn't have to share any of that attention.

Last I heard, her outdoor walks are still rather self limiting but she has been brought to a couple of little league baseball games and apparently is a big fan especially since there are loads of kids involved.

I couldn't be happier for Beauty and much much thanks to her foster family who have not only helped save her life but have given her a life worth saving.

    This is such terrific news about Beauty. Looking very royal on her throne. I love your blog Fred so much. One day we read a sad story and the next we hear something wonderful about the dog in that sad story. Thank you so much for doing this.

    How healing for the Beauty that her maternal instincts-- so cruelly exploited--can now be rewarded with the love of children!!! That seems especially fitting. Thanks for sharing Fred....
