Wonderful news! I'm glad to hear all is well with her.
Wow, she's drop dead gorgeous. I guess I need to spend more time on PT so I don't miss out on seeing such beautiful dogs! :]

This makes me smile too! I'm so happy for her, what a great home you've given her! Now that she's been with you a bit, do you still think she's stone deaf? At least she's talking, taking care of business.

That is great news Tamara!!!
She is such a beauty ...... :-)

I am glad Pirate's bloodwork came out fine. She deserves to be able to enjoy her retirement years - thanks for giving her that chance.

Gorgeous girl...lounging there just happy!

How great she is healthy! Yes, Pirate, you guard that water of yours!

Wonderful...Tamara, bless you for taking her in!

Hee hee...I wonder if her former, er, *owners* will get to see her.

I think that should actually be, Yay Tamara! You have been such an angel for this pretty girl, and I think her response to the truck lets you know how much she appreciates her new home. It's so nice to know that this sweet girl is learning what it is like to live in a loving home.

Like Gini, I also like warm fuzzy stories, with happy endings. I dare say, Pirate has it better now than at any time in her life.

Any idea if her previous owners know she is thriving now?

Great news for Pirate!

Great news update for Pirate.

Don't you worry big girl, you'll never
have to go back to that bad old house again.

More or less. She hears very loud, sudden sounds, like when I drop a metal dish. She doesn't respond to a normal tone of voice at all, unless she's looking at me. She makes alot of eye contact. As long as she looking at me, she seems to be able to figure out what I want from her. She's picked up a few hand signals too.

Lounging is just my style too, sweet girl.

Glad you're doing good, darling.

Glacier, it's so awesome that you've given Pirate such an amazing home to be comfortable in; she's so lucky to have found you.

I'm glad to hear that she is doing so much better than when she first went to the white coats.

**critter crazy** · 03-05-2008, 12:31 AM

Pirate you are just a gorgeous Girl!!!!

**finn's mom** · 03-05-2008, 12:40 AM

It's great to hear how well she's doing in a loving home. Poor girl, thought she was going back to the yucky place where she used to "live." She's beautiful, Tamara.

Thanks for sharing her progress with us!
