Well, I had my first heartworm shot yesterday. My leg was a little sore for a while, and I slept a lot while at the vet's, but I am doing OK today. And this crate is where I have to stay for the next 6 to 8 weeks! I can go outside on very short walks to do my business, and I can move around the house, but I have to walk. And sometimes I get the spirit of Tigger in me, and I want to bounce around! My vet, Dr. Bailey, said no bouncing allowed. So my foster parents have to keep me in this crate unless they are right beside me, to make sure I am keeping calm and moving slowly. This is because the adult heartworms are dying now. That is a great thing, but I can't move around much at all because bad things could happen to me if I do. I don't even want to think about that. So, here I am, Day One of life in the small crate. :(
But once the heartworms have been treated and I am better, I will be able to move around again just like any other dog! I can't wait for that.
And then I will be about ready for someone to adopt me. I love it here at my foster home, but I want my very own forever home. I hope someone will think about making me part of their family.
