Patience...TN

I am so gratified that you are checking up on Patience. I am truly impressed that your organization is taking the time to follow up on her well being. The adjustment is going well overall. There have been a few downs, but mostly ups. She has only been with us for 7 weeks, so in the grand scheme of things, I am pleased with her to no end. She did test positive for hookworms, but that has been treated and she is now negative. It is obvious that she has been abused in her past life. When you go to pick her up, she cowers down, almost to the point where she looks like she's trying to urinate. This will get better with time. Lots of love and play time with Dixie (my other mini-doxie) and Tatum (my Cardigan Welsh Corgi) and I'm confident that she will come to understand that she no longer has to be afraid. Last night we had a terrible thunderstorm come through and I discovered that she does not like the thunder and lightening. I mean she was really terrified. I have checked into these "thunder shirts" and wonder if you know anything about them. The reviews that I have read suggest that it works for some dogs and not others. She has one of the most wonderful temperments of any dog I have been around. Despite the fact that her life was not so hot until she was rescued, she is just as friendly as she can be. She has the most round and precious eyes as well. She's been a great addition to the household and she is not going anywhere. Thanks for the opportunity to rescue her.
