Andy's Vet-Check!

Andy was a complete gem today (as usual), letting the vet do a very thorough exam. She even made some friends in the waiting room.....a 6 month old puppy named Kirby and a 2 year old Dane named Shiloh. She has such a calm and relaxed demeanor about her that people and other dogs are just drawn to her. I think if Cesar Millan had the chance to meet this love bug, he would have to agree that Andy portrays a very good "energy".

The vet here estimated her to be in between 3 and 5 years old (so right on queue with the Kentucky vet!). She checked her ears, heart, teeth & joints and other than being a tad on the chubby side (we've started weight watchers!) Andy is a healthy girl.

I think because of her weight and the greying on her muzzle she gives off the appearance that she is older than she is. Perhaps thats why families weren't giving her a second look in the pound (which is so sad because all you need to do is look into her eyes and you'll see how full of love this gorgeous girl is!). Its a known fact: black dogs grey much more quickly than other colors. I can attest to this first hand as my Roxy starting greying around her muzzle when she was only 1 year.

Andy is on a great diet, is receiving regular exercise and some much needed TLC - we can't wait to see what she looks and feels like in a few short weeks!
