Suzie is now fully recovered from her surgery. She is such a strong girl with an amazing attitude. Not once did she complain about her pain or even try to pull at the stitches despite the difficult operation she’d had.

During the first week or so, Suzie had quite a lot of nervous energy, which I mistook for Suzie being a high energy dog. She would run to bring me a toy no matter how tired so I would give her affection. Now she has grown more secure in the knowledge that she will not be abandoned and is actually quite mellow. In the office we commment on how different she is from Tomo, who is always on the look out for something to play with - magazines, trash cans, boxes, plants… and generally runs around like a maniac. (No Jenna, he is not an angel. ;-))

Now as sweet as she is with people, she does have an alpha streak that makes her a bit of a trouble maker with other dogs. Jenna and Snickers have kindly offered to show Suzie the ropes on socialization 101.  It is critical that we work through her socialization process because that is the only thing that is now stopping us from making Suzie a permanent part of our pack!
