Lots of work!!

So the very first thing we did after Angie got settled in at Missy's was to get her a vet appointment. So two days later, we got her an appointment, it went very well. I got the appointment with a vet I had taken shelter dogs to, and knew he would be good with her. She went in, and was nervous, I had called before I went, and told them she was very scared, and had to stay with me at all times, and could not be taken into the back for blood work or anything.

She was fine in the waiting room, just looked around at the dogs and people. Then we went in the actual room. The vet came in and she tried to hide between Maureen and I. The vet sat on the floor and took his time to get her to come to her, and offered her treats that I brought for her. He spent a good 15 minutes just talking to us, and petting her. Then got up slowly, to not scare her, and brought back the rabies shot, and the blood testing stuff. I held her head, and talked to her, he gave her the rabies shot, and she barely noticed, and barely noticed the pulling of blood for her heart worm test.

She is Lyme positive, which I expected most Hillside dogs are. But besides that, very healthy, and 60 lbs.


Since then, every single day we've been down with her, walking her different places, we've been on the Appalachian trail, and tons of other trails. We even brought the rest of the doggie family down to see her and she was so happy to see them, and they were thrilled to see her, kissing their faces, her tail did not stop moving, but Cooper was the happiest of all, he is in love with Angeline, the two of them play non stop, they were thrilled to see each other.




Angie on one of the many walks she's been on, looking around for bunnies to chase!



This was taken on the Schuylkill River Trail, that's the Port Clinton Train station behind her, she's sitting on a large rock. She's been so many places already!! She looks so happy!

The good thing about these trails is that they are used by tons of people, dogs, bikers, hikers, and just tons of people, kids, and wildlife, so she gets to see new things every single day she's on the trail!



A very very sleepy Angeline, she's been going miles a day! Since she's moved, she's lost 6 pounds from the walking, walking, and walking!! Plus the lack of the insane amount of hot dogs my manager gives to the dogs everyday. Her muscles are looking so defined you can tell she's getting good food and lots of exercise!
