Where to start??
well Maggie is growing still, 50 lbs at her last weigh in at the vet and that was about a month ago. Why were we at the vet you ask? well we came home from work and when I went to pet the fur ball i noticed her eye was all red and goopey (it was REALLY gross) My first thought was that one of the cats finally caught her in the eye and she has a tear in it or something. I called the vet and they got me in that night. After some cookies and a very quick veterinarian with come green eye drops it was confirmed that there was no injury to the eye, but she had conjunctivitis....pink eye! A week of drops and she's cured. Her eye still looks red, but they are getting kind of droopy, so I think that is just the way they are going to be.
Her fur is changing like crazy! she is still the same color, but her tail is all frayed out like a retriever now and she is getting random long spots of fur on the back of her legs and on her chest. Her fur on her back is SO THICK and wavy, shes a water dog for sure.
She has been doing well with other dogs. Doggy day care has been great for her socialization. She does okay with humans, we are working on that. Looking to get her into obedience class, but honestly I just don't have the time. We have seen little to no aggression from her. When she has something in her mouth that she wants and we want to take away, she will growl, but no snapping or anything. Still need to nip it in the butt!
She is terrified of the soda can I filled with screws......it seems mean but if I shake it she stops dead in her tracks and puts her ears down. She is getting better with the cats. She still chases them but if we yell her name or stomp a foot, she will stop......well at least for a few seconds, but its a start! Here is a before of muttzilla....
this is from about 5 months ago...i will try to get a new picture of her tonight, but i just wanted to reminisce about how cute she used to be....
