Happy 0th Gotcha Day to Snicker!

LoveEcho · 03-20-2011, 02:21 PM

So, about two hours ago, I brought Snicker home from the kennel I work at... she's 9 years old, was the star of a breeding program (I need to find out more...I should have her papers soon saying when she was imported, her bloodlines, etc...interestingly, turns out she might be Echo's grandma...) and trained in protection, and came to them having never been out of a kennel environment since she was a year old. So, I've taken her home to spoil her rotten and ensure she has fun, comfortable golden years

Right now she's lounging by the fire but initially it was more of "...what am I supposed to be doing right now???"...I think she'll come out of her shell soon.

So...does it count to celebrate a 0th Gotcha day?

It absolutely does!! But we'll need pictures to make it official!

Deal! Here she is-- she needs to gain about 15 lbs but I think she's gorgeous

15 lbs? Wow...she must be really skinny!

I love her face.

She's super skinny

They've had a hard time keeping weight on her because she just paces all day.

And that face is her "please leave me alone" face...Echo is all "OMG hi let's play!"....he's still developing the "off" switch in terms of learning that not everyone wants to play with him ALL the time!

Hey all-- thank you for the kind words and well wishes. I could use a little moral support here-- after a full day of alarming lethargy and majorly labored breathing, I decided to take her back to work so the trainer could take a look at her and let me know what he thought. She'd been acting a little "off" for a few days; I'm hoping it's something minor that she'll start feeling better from quickly...I figured it might be better for her to try and recuperate in an environment she's familiar with, and I can still keep a close watch on her every day (aside from the fact that she's surrounded by people there far more knowledgeable than I). I have my fingers crossed that she bounces back and can come "home" again... right now I'm just feeling rather helpless and worried sick
