Zeta at 3 weeks

Bundled up on the snow day.
Zeta has been making a lot of progress. She very rarely has accidents and it's been a few days since her last one. As long as we remember to let her out every now and then, she won't use the bathroom in the house. This is a small challenge for us because Honey only has to go out three times a day. Zeta will get there.


She was spayed on Tuesday. She's healing very nicely and hasn't let that slow her down at all. Just as peppy as ever. They cleaned her ears while she was under for spay and they look so good! She gained 5 lbs in two weeks and we'll have her healthy in no time.

She had a photo shoot with Mary Shannon Johnstone on Thursday. She's now a Landfill Dog! Her page hasn't been put up yet, but I'll share her glamour shot soon.

She's been doing much better with new people. The trick is to ignore her completely until she settles down. When she approaches in a friendly way, then she can sit for a treat. She made fast friends with my mother-in-law, with Honey's help. I think that she will need to go to a home with a confident dog to help her feel more secure. She's definitely a work in progress, but the progress is remarkable! She crawled on a dog bed all on her own and laid down, which would have been unheard of even a few days ago. She's learning how to relax and enjoy life a little, which is great to see.
