Update

I apologize for the lack of updating. In the last couple of weeks we did notice an open sore on Daisy's leg and decided to get it tested. The test came back positive for ringworm. Just as Daisy was getting used to the other dogs she has since now been back separated from other dogs. She has gotten some meds and is on her way to full recovery. She does have some short time interacting with the other dogs and people. Ringworm is very contagious, but it does look like she is healing and we have about 2 weeks on meds and she should be back to normal.

She is a total ham and really can't believe the trust in people she has after being through so much. We have had people over multiple times and she seems to do great with everyone. She is going to make someone very happy. She gets very excited and likes to play and always wants to be around you. She doesn't lick, but she will put her nose on your face and keep it there. Really odd, but I haven't met a Pit Bull that didn't have something quirky about their personality. I will be posting some pictures from last week. Enjoy! If you are interested in adopting Daisy, please visit http://www.maydaypitbullrescue.org/. You can donate on the website also. All the donations go straight to the care of the dogs like Daisy.

Daisy in the kitchen wondering "Whats for Dinner!?"

My good friend Will and Daisy being goofy.

Daisy is a sleepy girl after playing in the back yard. She is so silly. She will be totally calm one minute then have a spurt of energy and start doing circles and jumping around. It's like she knows that she will always have love food and fun now and is happy as can be because of it. She will sit nicely in her kennel while we sleep or work and wait patiently for us to let her out....then its Daisy-crazy time lol. She gets sooooo excited to see us. I love it and her of course!

March 16th

Its been awhile since Ive posted. In that time Dasiy has really come out of her shell. She got a bath tonight after we got back from sushi. We introduced her to Dharma tonight (offleash) and they are both in the office together playing. She obviously has the scars to show that she has been in a horrible situation before. As a foster you assume the worst, you assume that a dogs past will venture to the future. I assumed because she has the scars she will have a bad attitude towards other dogs, but tonight I can say that Daisy is a sweetheart. Forgiving to people, and other dogs.

Last Sunday we had an event and she did wonderful around people. And for the first time I saw her play with a toy. It was about 6 seconds, but anyone who has fostered or rescued a dog will embrace those seconds and realize that she is forgetting her past and doing what is natural.

Andrea from ModernPetFurtography was also there, now Daisy has some great headshots for her modeling career. Please visit her website at. http://www.modernpetfurtography.com

So Daisy has been out a few times with Veda now. They both slept in the bed last night with us. We still haven't let her meet the big girls yet, other then the few minutes on leash with Bailey. We don't want to overwhelm her and she seems a little shy when she sees them.

The wounds where her drain was are almost completely gone and her hair is starting to grow back. She is finally eating dry dog food without fussing about it lol.

Hopefully the next post can be about her and the girls playing! We shall see...

Oh hi there Veda. Do you wanna be best friends?

As you already know, Daisy got her drains out. The wounds are healing nicely. We did a small intro yesterday with our pit Bailey. They were both on leash the whole time and it went really well. We didn't let them loose together because Daisy seemed a little unsure at Baileys forwardness. Bailey was excited to meet a new dog and kept doing the play with me thing where she bends down and jumps around. Daisy's tail was wagging the whole time but she seemed unsure so we didn't overwhelm her with letting Bailey completely loose.

She also got the chance to meet our little Bichon Veda, once again on leash. She didn't seem to have any sort of prey drive toward her which is a good sign! We are going to keep introing her slowly to the pack and make sure that she is as comfortable as can be before letting her loose with our little monsters lol.

She also got to sleep all night in the bed with us....she's kinda spoiled :-P

Daisy has found her voice...

So our spoiled little girl has learned what the comforts of a dogs life can feel like. This has also made her very vocal about not wanting to sleep in the kennel lol. She whines at first when we put her in for the night. She is slowly learning the word "no" but doesn't want to haha. She is learning something new everyday and opening up more and more. I brought Veda (my 7lb bichon) up to her last night to see how she would react. She didn't seem to care to much but looked a little nervous about it. I was holding Veda so I think that helped a little bit. When she heals up more we will do a real intro but from the way she doesn't react to them in the kennel I don't think there will be any issues. Our dogs like to play rough though which might be overwhelming to her due to her obvious past. I can't wait to let her be a normal dog though!
