Poor Baby!

Baby came to us with some serious bad breath so the group sent her to the vet for a dental. Poor kid ended up having all of her molars removed. She has just her canines and front incisors left. That surgery was Monday. She ended up needing to stay the night at the vet and wasn't feeling up to much when she came home Tuesday. This is a picture of her then. It should be considered an outtake.

"I'm not up for pictures right now. Please put the flashy box away."





Thankfully by Wednesday she was already feeling better.













"OK, you can take my picture now as long as I get to stay on the big comfy bed."













(That bed is twice the size it looks in the picture. It's huge!)

By Thursday she was rushing to her place for dinner and hoovering up her slurry of dry food and water with a just enough canned food to make a gravy. As of Friday she is back to being an eager eater and begs for treats. For now she only gets softer treats and seems to thoroughly enjoy those, taking a little while to gum the treats before swallowing and begging for more. 

Baby is a very affectionate dog. She loves, loves, loves being petted. When she gets excited, like when you come home, go for walks or treat time, the girl is outright bubbly. She may be a bit older and missing some teeth but she makes up for that with charm and enthusiasm. She's hoping those old lyrics are really true:

"Fairy tales can come true,
It can happen to you,
If you're young at heart."

Can you make Baby's fairy tale come true? All she wants is a forever home that can love a mature gal who's prepared to give her family a lifetime of love every day.
