Introducing Pip
I don't go looking for dogs. God just throws them at me.
I was driving to town Tuesday and there was a small black dog on the highway. It went back to the side of the road when a big truck went by. I was going in the opposite direction, but I stopped. There was nothing around but woods. No houses, nothing...I scooped it up and took it with me. I took the baby into the bank, the pharmacy, the hardware store, the Post Office, and the feed store where I picked up wormer for her.
Yesterday I took her to the vet where she was diagnosed with demodex and a possible fungal infection and bacterial infection of the skin. She's just a baby dog. She still has puppy breath. Neglected babies don't have their immune system going full blast. She got a shot and Nexgard for the demodex and I have the anti-fungal/bacterial shampoo already. Other than her skin problems which should clear up easily with good care and treatment she is in excellent condition.
Here's a few pic of her. I took the one from the rear because I'm kind of a fuss budget when it comes to correct structure.

Re: Introducing Pip
OH there is my puppy! I wonder how she got so far away?
Just Kidding Liz.
You are the ultimate animal lover. I know she is in great hands.

Re: Introducing Pip
It's just a guess, but she's long bodied and short legged so I think there's dachshund back there somewhere, plus some other small dog with medium hair.

Re: Introducing Pip
Thanks for taking care of her Liz.

Re: Introducing Pip
Talk about landing on her feet! Being abandoned must have been awful for her and what are common health issues could soon have turned into a very bad outcome but then Liz drove by and it was like winning the lottery! God bless your caring heart Liz, you are on the side of the angels. All our love to you and all your non-human family

Re: Introducing Pip
Have you ever tried to clean house with the "help" of a young puppy? I have...Nothing is a better toy than a broom.

Re: Introducing Pip
I looked at those pics I took just now and I can't believe that I thought that she was fairly good condition. I guess she was considering the still had puppy breath. She couldn't have been on her own for more than a few days. Still, I know what she looks like now and I cannot believe how far she has come. As soon as we have a dry day I'll take more pics.
I got her second vaccines at the feed store today. I was hoping they would make her feel a little poorly for a while. Not a chance. She continues to steal the dirty clothes I toss on the floor before I go to bed. God only knows where I might find a sock or T shirt. The broom is a toy. The vacuum is the enemy. My 15 year old Rat Terrier is a play friend. Poor old Tink growls and snaps but Tink has few teeth and Pip think it's a game. If she weren't so loving and smart and if she didn't totally zonk in bed at night, and if she weren't otherwise impossible not to love, I'd have put a gun to my head long ago.

Re: Introducing Pip
She sounds like so much fun Liz even if she hides your dirty clothes. Unless finding the clothes is part of the fun a dirty clothes hamper may be a good investment :) Would love to see some more pic of her. She is a cutie.
