Mark Hess's Blog – October 2012 Archive (3)

Week 5 and life is getting better all the time. Her weight is up and her mood is good and the vet says her health is great. Good food has made the dry skin go away and all the itching at night is gone. Skylar is warming to my boys and is sniffing strangers but still jumps away from them. All in all we are still headed in a positive direction.

Tomorrow marks the 3 week point in our home and as part of our family. from what I was told she was a rescue dog and had little to no contact with the "outside world". If that is correct then her 1st 3 weeks with us has been full of firsts for her.

In no order - here are some of her firsts

1. Boat ride - went OK, she's not thrilled with that form of transportation. She likes the car much better.

2. Take her to work. She took a few days to warm up to the office…

What a joy. Skylar is doing great. She loves to run and play outside. She is learning fetch with a ball and friz-bee.  She is getting along with kids and my wife even the crate is going well. She has this habit of pulling at my shirt when she wants to go out. She like hanging in the grass and chasing the mink in our back yard. yes mink. I have ordered some of the recommended food and treats you all suggested, Thank you!
