Our new dog- Jesse
Over a week ago, we found an elderly puppy dog running around terrified at the parking lot of the post office. I was going to take her to the pound, but she was so sweet and just immediately laid in my lap in the car, so we took her home. We put up signs all over the post office, and so far no one has responded. From the neck back, she looks like a younger dog... no heart murmur, seems pretty energetic, no obvious joint problems, etc, but in her face.... she looks alot older. Her teeth are the most horrendous that I have ever seen. There is so much tartar that you cannot even see her teeth, and her breath is so bad the it's hard to even be in the same room with her sometimes. I'm guessing it's going to be around 700-1000.00 to do a very basic dental on her.... since I no longer do that type of work. Have to get my own teeth taken care of first. So, we will wait another week or so to really claim her as our own, but she seems to be adjusting really well. Never thought I would have a Chihuahua!!
getting ready to take Jesse for a walk this morning
