🐾 BLAIR UPDATE! 🐾
Our big girl is making progress, and even better, we’re starting to see more and more of Blair’s personality come out.
Blair has been settling into foster life beautifully. She and her foster sister Lia have been getting along really well and are becoming pretty good buddies. Lia has even been trying to convince Blair to PLAY, and Blair definitely wants to! Her body isn’t quite able to keep up with her enthusiasm yet, but that hasn’t stopped her from trying.
She’s been enjoying little play sessions outside, exploring, and even got some pool time for a little low-impact activity. Watch the video for some laughs!
We have another bit of good news: Blair is down to approximately 132 pounds! 🎉 That puts her roughly 2 pounds down from her previous 134 pound weight. It may not sound like a huge number, but for Blair, slow and steady is exactly what we want. We’re working toward getting weight off safely while helping her build strength and stamina, as well as encouraging muscle development, and propioceptive ability.
She still tires very quickly, and her extra weight makes even normal dog things, like trying to romp around with a friend, much harder on her body. That’s why we’re keeping her activity appropriate and continuing to monitor her weight and progress. We’re also planning another follow-up next week so we can document her progress and make sure she’s being seen regularly as we work toward getting her healthy enough for the next steps in her medical care.
One thing is becoming VERY clear, though: there is a fun, goofy, and absolute SWEET dog hiding underneath all that extra weight ❤️
Watching her start to feel comfortable enough to play, make friends, and just be a dog has been pretty special.
Way to go, Blair! 132-ish and heading in the right direction. One little victory at a time, sweet girl. 🐾❤️
