So much has happened since my last post! For starters, our "pup" is almost 2! Her previous family sent her paperwork and her birthday is July 9, 2005. Amazingly, that is 3 days before we officially adopted Lady - is that a sign?
She's 1.5 pounds lighter - and about 17 more to lose. Dr. Feinman said that 3 - 4 pounds/month is a safe rate, and we'll get her there with diet and plenty of exercise. She does fetch the tennis ball, so we've taken to playing outside after dinner. That has the added benefit of tiring her out and she sleeps very well. We're in training for the Danbury Animal Welfare Society's Hound Hike at Tarrywile Park on June 3.
Did I say sleep? Of course she is now hopping up the steps at night and sleeping in our bedroom. The first few nights were shaky - Miss Lady was none too happy - but they've worked it out. Lady still has "on the bed" privileges while the little one stays on her own doggie bed.
And, finally, she has a name - Ruby Phatz. Ruby is the name of a hapless house maid in the series Upstairs Downstairs, and Phatz is, well, because she's got plenty of it (for now).
