Happy little girl!

Update from Liza's family to Keely, Liza's foster mom: Hope your family had a wonderful Christmas. Liza now weighs in at 38 1/2 lbs of beautiful setter. She had a good time during the holidays with me on break from school and lots of company. My boys got her a stuffed snake with a squeakie at each end that she loved and a friend got her a robin that made real bird noises. She was ecstatic and just like a kid, she had a hard time getting to sleep that night. I think she was convinced that there was a real bird in the house. We just love her more every day. She has had some continuing health issues: a cough that the vet can't seem to diagnose, despite repeated chest X-rays, and a slight limp that has developed over the past month. The vet thinks she has a damaged disc so we're keeping her quiet and resting as much as possible to help it heal. We're taking good care of her and she's such a good girl, really calmed down from her early pacing behavior. She's a joy! Have you had any new foster dogs these days? Liza says hi!
