Success Story: Millie (#1569)

Adopted March 5, 2008

WELL, we think Millie is the sweetest gal in the world and she is doing fine. Our lives have been busy and Millie has tagged along with us in fine style.

Tom's aunt at age 89 needed to be in the hospital and now a nursing home with a variety of physical issues so we have been busy with her transition; but Millie even went to meet and visit Auntie Hazel. She did very well; Hazel loved it. Millie sat at her wheel chair and enjoyed having her head rubbed and rubbed and rubbed. It was certainly the highlight of Hazel's day and Millie was more than willing to share her love. We had the 3 and 1 year old grandchildren a week ago for all day- kept dog and children at a controlled distance and all went well. We saw no signs of growls or jealousy- of course we kept a "tight leash" on all three!!

Millie went to our local vet today and checked out as a healthy beauty. She was heartworm negative and has started her prophylactic pills which is the standard in So. Oregon. Our twice daily walks and brushing continue for her. She loves her belly rubs! As Brant had said, she doesn't like other animals, and we had to "reel her in" and hold her tightly on her leash when she saw a loose dog(??) on one of our outings; but she did eventually sit at Tom's feet and obey, even if she wanted to chase after the other dog. So that is an area where we will work consistently with her. She overall walks well on the leash and is responsive to our basic commands. She is definitely in a routine within our household and will most likely adapt well as we slowly enlarge her environment.

Thank you for having faith in us. Jan & Tom
