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!!!
