Meg now known as Roux
Meg went to her forever home on
July 6, 2008 and will be living in Daphne, AL with her momma,
daddy and two cats.
Update from her new momma on July
18, 2008:
Hi Judy,
An update on Roux ... we went to the vet today. Banfield Pet
Hospital at Pet Smart in Spanish Fort. I had interviewed there
with the main vet back in the winter and liked him, Dr. Colicchio.He
examined her and said she was fine. Her appetite comes and goes,
so she's not put any weight on yet, but she tested negative
for heartworms again, and had some vaccinations too ... Corona,
Distemper Parvo HA, Giardia, Leptospirosis 4-way and Lyme disease.
She goes back in 3 weeks for boosters on the Corona and Giardia.
We also got her Advantix and the heartworm pills (got the pills
for now, maybe the liquid we'll get to doing ourselves later).
She's not been eating as good the last few days, but he seemed
to think it was fine, so long as she is eating some, and she
is, just not much. He said some dogs are just that way, they
only eat what they seem to need. Otherwise, all else is fine
with her here. We love her more and more every day, and she
is very attached to us it seems too. She's gotten a nice fluffy
dog bed, lots of new toys (she loves carrying some stuffed toys
around) and even some cool scarves for around her neck. She
gets complimented everywhere she's been and behaves really well.
Tomorrow night will be a nice bath and then the Advantix. Enough
body harassement today with the shots.
We're going to go ahead and register the microchip too as we
know we're not returning her to anyone. She's here for the duration!
Thank you again!
Jeri, Michael and Roux
Some pictures of Meg ... now Roux,
or if we were 'formally' naming her ... Delila Roux ... She
is doing awesome!!! Loving her new home and we are just so happy
to have her here. She and the cats are fine together, she has
been a perfect new dog in the house, and loves, loves the yard
and the gardens and running loose back thre and having fun.
Chases the ball, roots through the bushes, just having a grand
time! She's eating well and also has been walked on the leash
through the neighborhood and seems to enjoy the nice quiet walk
as well. I was the camera-Mom so the pics are just her and Michael
so far ...

Hi Judy,
We just wanted to let you know we made it back safe and sound
and she is doing wonderfully! She rode quietly in the car the
whole way, snoozing a little. We stopped at Pet Smart and got
some Eukanuba to start her on gradually, we'll be mixing with
what you sent home with us and hopefully she'll like that. When
we got here I walked her around some on the leash then brought
her into the back yard as Michael readied the house ... he scooted
the cats out of the sun room and closed those doors into the
house. After she got to check out the back yard some we came
in to the sun room and she checked everything out sniffing and
looking all around, had a good drink of water, then we just
relaxed with her on the floor. One cat was watching through
the doors at her quite intently, but she (Meg) paid her no mind.
One scare though ... Michael went outside and she stayed in
with me on the floor near the door which is a sliding glass
door. Think she saw him through the glass and got up and just
went to run outside and smacked her head right into the glass
door. I jumped towards her, reaching to rub her head and she
moved back a few steps, then charged towards the door and did
it again before I could stop her. That time she laid down and
I just rubbed her head and soothed her and she seemed ok, but
she took a good smack on her forehead, twice! After some soothing,
I tried to show her the door, slid it back and forth, etc. then
she went on outside. I got some bright yellow paper and taped
sheets at her level on both sides of the door and the glass
windows beside it till she gets used to that being a door there.
Our sun room is enclosed, A/C and all, but does have windows
all around and the sliding door. Guess she's not been used to
glass doors!
Other than that, all is going wonderfully! After a few more
walks and romps in the yard we opened the doors from the sun
room into the house and introduced her to the cats, since she
didn't seem like she was going to chase them. She's not afraid
of them, per se, but seems she has been around cats before and
maybe had a run in or two, so she stays away from them, not
chasing them at all ... so this is good. We walked her through
the whole house, room to room, she sniffed and looked in all
the nooks and crannies and we've mostly been in the kitchen/dining
area since. Michael has been on the floor with her rubbing lots
of times, and gotten each cat to come up to her, they've not
attacked her, just curiously sniffed and watched, and Meg hasn't
paid them much attention either. So, at least no chasing or
swatting or hissing or barking or any problems. It couldn't
really be any better than this, we are so pleased. She has taken
to us quite well, seems to love her new yard and house and we're
just so happy to have her here! As soon as we can, we'll send
you pictures of her in her new home with her new family ...
Michael and myself and her two new "sisters" Perch
and Girlie. I think we're all going to get along and be very
happy here. Thank you again!!!
