This Week's Who Am I Email.
Hi everyone!
My name is Kathy, and my baby girl's name is Zoe.
My husband and I picked Zoe out from her litter mates when she was
4 weeks old. We brought her home when she was 8 weeks old and have raised
her ever since. Zoe is a Vizsla (Hungarian Pointer). She is a very active
girl, and loves to hunt with her daddy. Her favorite thing to do is chase
after her tennis ball (for hours...if she could!). She has a vibrant personality!
She is also a couch potato, has her favorite chair, and INSISTS on sleeping
in between us every night. Vizslas are known as "velcro dogs", and she
definitely fits the description. She is our baby girl:-)
Her favorites:
Tennis Balls
Cheese
Mommy's pillow
Tummy scratches
Bird hunting
Sleeping in the sun
Bacon
Her dislikes:
The vet's office
Being left alone
Lettuce
Being on a leash
Rain
and now...shots
About a month ago Zoe started having accidents in the basement in the
middle of the night, was throwing up and seemed pretty down. We brought
her in to the vet and they diagnosed her with a UTI. We went in for her
follow-up and got the news - she is diabetic. We quickly learned how to
administer her insulin, and take care of this disease. Since her diagnosis
and start of her treatment we have noticed she has pepped up a bit more
than she has been lately and she is no longer having accidents...that we
know of anyway. She seems to be back to her old self - a crazy, goofy girl!
I'm glad you guys are here and that I have a place to go to for advice
and support!
