Happy Pup

Gallery: Weekly ChallengePosted November 29, 201621 views4 comments

This is Skye. Our friends adopted her about 5 months ago when she was really a small puppy. Unfortunately, shortly after she was brought home she developed a urinary tract infection that quickly spread into her blood stream. Fortunately, they noticed a change in her activity and eating, so they took her to the vet who kept her for several days on an IV and sent her home with a bunch of meds.

The result a month later is a crazy, happy puppy who can't stop smiling and running. This dog only runs, plays, sleeps, and eats. She's fun to have running around the yard.

She's a beauty, Jerry, and this image sure shows her enthusiasm. Great catch with three feet off the ground, tongue lolling, and ears flying.

Jerry, thanks so much for sharing this short story about Skye. Your photo shows a truly happy and playful pup. Your outline of her daily duties or routine are ditto for our own dog Finley. Can't seem to get in enough playtime as far as he is concerned....... sad
