Stray black lab mix story.

Update

I went over Sunday to visit. Sadie is doing fine, she's one of the most laid back dogs I've ever seen, which during the heartworm treatment is a very good thing since they are not supposed to get excited because the worms can break off and spread to other body parts and organs.

I was a little disappointed that Sadie would not come to me, but it has been months since she saw me last. She let me pet her but I had to go to her.

Jan said that Sadie had reverted back a little to when she was most timid. I think it has to do with her being boarded at a kennel for a week while Jan was on vacation followed by her being at the vet overnight for the first heartworm treatment. I think she may have felt as though she was being abandoned and had a setback.

Her next treatment is either a week or two away and she has to stay for 3 days. I think once she's all done with that, and gets resettled again, everything will fall into place for her and she'll be more comfortable. But hey, what do I know. I often wonder how dogs think, but doubt I'm even close.

It was good to get to see her again.

Thanks Michael for keeping us updated about Sadie. I hope these setbacks are just a temporary thing.
