Victory: Making Progress

Victory is doing well and she is making good progress.  She barked for the first time this weekend!  We had not heard her bark prior to this weekend.  She only barked one time!  Victory’s sheltie furs are also coming in and she is even changing color slightly from when we first met her several weeks ago!  Victory is also coming out of her crate on her own to come and sit with us on the sofa!  Victory has watched several episodes of Breaking Bad with us since returning to Maryland!  She loves to cuddle up with us!

Victory is also sleeping better and so are we!  Since Victory likes to sleep with us, she is not roaming around in the bed as much, which is great.  The first few weeks Victory was walking around on the bed waking us up!  Now, she is sleeping through the night peacefully and she spends some of her time during the night sharing my pillow and Doug’s pillow.  She is giving us ‘kisses’ before bed and sometimes during the night.  She loves licking ears — who knew!  We think that she is getting more confidence.  Although, loud noises and movement still startle her.

Victory also loves Greenie Pill Pockets — she took her Sentinel, heartworm prevention in a Greenie, and she even let us put her Frontline, flea and tick prevention with no problem!  She also loves her cheese biscuit treats that Doug had to purchase online since we could not find them here — this was the first treat she ever took from her foster Mom!  At this time, Victory is not interested in any other treats!

We took many walks this weekend since the weather was so nice!  Victory enjoys our walks/runs together!  Enjoy some photographs below of our sweet Victory!

Happy Monday!
