This 6 -7 yr old eskie girl was an owner surrender from an elderly person moving into assisted living. She is such a doll! She is currently in foster care with 2 young kids, 2 cats, and of course the adults. She walks very well on a leash and wants to be involved (or at least watch) whatever I am doing. She rarely barks (only at the doorbell or loud noises) and enjoys being brushed and pampered. She will gladly roll on her back to let you brush/comb her or trim her nails. She loves to go on car rides and prowdly sits in her seat and watches everything. We know that she was greatly overfed and her weight is at the top of our concerns. We had bloodwork done to rule out thyroid condition and found that she is perfectly healthy. She is now under carefully measured meals doesn't seem to mind the change up in foods or amounts offered. I have been gradually increasing the distance of our walks and she is already going 3 times the distance she could do on my first day with her. She has already lost nearly 2 lbs in just the first 5 days I've had her! Way to go Diamond! I should mention that she measures just 16.5 inches at the shoulders, so I am expecting her to get down to about 25-30 lbs. Get's along great with everyone and has never met a stranger. She use to live with 2 other dogs and misses their companionship. I was told she was 5 yrs old but think she might be older. The vet says she is probably 6 or 7 yrs, but not older, as her eyes are very clear and don't show signs of aging. Did I mention how sweet she is and that she loves to ride in the car? *** San Diego, CA ***: If you're interested in me and would like more information, please contact Angel Merritt: angel@eskierescuers.org.
