The first 5 days
I picked up Trudie Monday after work from Dr. Carol. Her pictures don't do her justice. She is a very pretty girl with a little pink heart shaped mark on her snout. Brought her home and let her meet the resident hound, they ran a little bit together. She came in the house and pretty much ignored our bird. All was good until the final potty for the night where she saw a rabbit that i didnt and she took off, the rabbit made it under the chain link fence but Trudie ran right into it and ripped her inner thigh. Back to the vet Tuesday morning for stitches. I've been taking her to work with me everyday so she can get her meds. Everyone at work loves her and she is very well behaved in the office. She seemed right from the beginning to accept my husband and I as her humans for the time being. So far she hasn't played with any of the toys or stuffies but that might be because she is sore, she also doesnt really interact with the other dog, but she loves ear scatches and attention. I don't think she ever got treats, she wont even take a milk bone. If i put it down eventually she'll eat it but she wont take take them from our hands. Hubby and I are working on that, every dog should love getting treats. I keep telling her we are going to spoil her whether she likes it or not :). So far she is a very easy and very easy going hound. I'm looking forward to seeing how she is once the stitches are out and she is feeling better and can run.

Hello,
ReplyDeleteI am Trudy's former owner, I had her until the economic situations got so bad that my two girls had to be returned to GPAN. Trudy does infact love treats, She had a milk bone or a greenie every night before going to bed and absolutely loved it. Perhaps she will start taking treats better after she gets over her injury and warms up to you. She is a very sweet girl!!! she was also use to eating in her crate and eats much better when created. Good luck finding a home sweet girl.

Josh, she is feeling better and is starting to take treats. She is a doll and we love having her here. We took her last night to Shakespeare in the Park in Nashville and she was excellent, and everyone who sees her is really just drawn to her. I'm so sorry you weren't able to keep her, it must have been very hard. I've only had her 3 weeks and it will be hard for me to give her up, but there are other dogs out there that will need to be fostered also. Good luck to you.
