Just a quick update on Fama.
She's doing very well. Her hips and back are giving her no trouble whatsoever. Her ear has healed up well after surgery on a hematoma. It's floppy now, and has some scar tissue built up, but we are treating it with am Avazzia unit with some success.
She's been receiving ozone blood treatments for allergies with very good results. She's off all medication and is no longer constantly itching. She's still a bit itchy from time to time, but nothing like before. She's got 2 treatments to go, and we expect to see further improvement.
She's doing fantastic in the house. We've been having company over regularly, and she greets them warmly and then goes on about her business. We recently went out of town for a couple days and had our friends dog sit, coming by 3-4 times a day to spend some time and let them out to break. They had no trouble with Fama at all. I, obviously, spent some time with the couple and Fama together to ensure their safety and confidence.
They came over this weekend with their 1 year old daughter. Fama was great with the baby. They had been around each other several times before, and Fama was very happy to see her. We let them play together a bit, under close supervision, and they had a great time together. It was great to see Fama being so sweet and gentle with the baby. She brought her Kong over to share it and they played a little game of give and take with it, Fama laying on the floor being careful not to get the baby's fingers when taking the Kong. I wish I had taken video.
I recently had surgery on my back, so her primary job has been picking things up off the floor and bringing me stuff while I'm laying on an ice pack. I've been home on convalescent leave for a month, and it's been nice spending time with her.
It makes me incredibly happy to see her relaxed and happy, just being a dog. When by back heals up, we will be working on Nosework titles on the weekends.
