Just a quick update on our little gal, Remy. We are pretty sure she has finally overcome the 11 week long battle against kennel cough! The vet believes she contracted kennel cough from her vaccine, because there is a small amount of live vaccine in it. Remy has gone through many tests, x-rays, ultrasound and a trachea procedure to determine what was wrong with her. She has been on so many different antibiotics the whole time as well, and she has been a trooper through and through! The vet has also said she probably has a weaker immune system than usual, hence her recovery taking so long. During this time, she was able to form a great bond with her sis, Livy, as they were both not allowed to be around other dogs due to the contagious nature of the bug. They are absolutely inseparable. We call them the ‘grrls’. Remy is growing steadily, now weighing 40lbs and 7 ½ months old. She is almost always covered in grass stains, or dirt from tearing up the backyard with Livy. Her favourite activities are ankle biting, chasing Livy, laying on the top of the sofa watching out the window, and playing fetch with, and pouncing on her squeaky toys. She is still not overly happy about being in her crate, as this takes away from valuable time from Livy. Her obedience is a work in progress, as she hasn’t been allowed to go to classes because of being sick. We’re working on it though! She is still the most gentle, even tempered girl as when we got her, and I have to make sure I fall asleep before her; otherwise I can’t, because her snoring is soooo loud (human loudness). We love her so much, and even though she has been sick, it has only made us grow closer to her. We are so thankful to have her in our lives, and the 2 grrls together bring us so much pleasure and laughter every day! We are forever grateful to WBBR and Margret’s fostering, taking such good care of Remy.
