Week 2!

Well, Friends of Fiona, here we are at the 2 week point!

<---Day 1  
 Day 14 --->




Fiona is SO happy to be feeling better and to have been given a second chance, and it shows all the time.  For the most part, the sad, worried expression is gone from her adorable little face.  She still has that look at bath time...lol!  I would think she'd look forward to bath time and the delicious treats she gets, but NO, not exactly. 
She got her 4th bath today..here are some more photos to compare...

<---Bath 1


Bath 4 --->



If you click on these pictures to get a closer look, you can see how red and blotchy her skin was in 1st bath as compared to her much happier looking skin at bath #4....YAY!!!  

More importantly, this little girl  FEELS so much better!  By no means do I intend to brag with the posts on this blog.  All the credit goes to Dr. Jones and Mindi for getting her out and on the mend. And, of course, mad props to Fiona....she is, as I've said before, a little warrior!  She knew as soon as she got back into a home environment that she was now safe and she no longer had to fight for her survival, she just had to rest and get better...she has done plenty of both!
Now that she is no longer feeling unloved, neglected and miserably itchy and sore--she is SUCH a normal dog. Someone had posted on her original FB thread that I'd be surprised what a happy, normal dog she is, aside from a roaring demodex infection...and she was SO right!  She doesn't seem to be the least bit traumatized after being neglected to the point her skin infection got out of control, then dumped in a box and left for shelter staff to find when they opened.  She is smart enough to look forward and focus on a happy future rather than letting the past freeze her with fear.  I'm so glad to have her with me to remind me of this little life lesson. 

Here are a few shots of Fiona, the happy, normal puppy dog, loving all the attention she gets.. 




Shameless! 





Is that a SMILE I see?!






And with all her new-found energy, she loves to play with her favorite buddy, Vito...






And if that isn't cute enough for you...her is another Fiona video!  This was earlier today just before her bath and it features a walk-on cameo by Ms. Blanca!  
And now, time for the ♥ Pawsome Twosome ♥ to rest...Good night everyone!!  Hope you all had a great holiday weekend!
