Kinsy is doing very well. She is a little reserved but not shy. She is starting to learn to play with stuffies. She has had no accidents in the house or in the crate.
She is good in the crate but does sleep thru the night on a dogbed in my bedroom at night. She is very good in the house and usually gets a toy plays quietly by herself. She walks well on leash and will potty on leash (altho it sometimes takes a lttle time. Got to find that perfect spot). She rides very well in the car . This girl is a major roacher. She loves to sleep upside down. Although she does not have the decorating style that Bart has, she does like to help me with the house work. She will be going back to Dr Pierce in October also so there will be an update on her leg soon. She is using the leg but still hops on it more often then not. She has not been small animals tested yet but that will come soon. She is starting to come out of her shell a little more everyday but I dont think she will be overly busy.

Returning to Nashville Shortly!

I just wanted to let you know that Qinzykue is continuing to improve and show us a very sweet personality. For two weeks on Mon-Wed-Fri I took her back to Dr. Pearce so that he could change her bandage. Then this week, I took her Tuesday and he took an x-ray and removed her bandage. The sore that was present when she arrrived in Memphis is almost completely healed as is the broken bone. Dr. Pearce is very pleased. I will take her again tomorrow for another check and a soak (the "spa" treatment!) The final check should be next Wednesday and then to Nashville on the 18th.

It is almost as if she knows she must be careful so that her leg will heal properly. She loves attention, but is not at all "pushy" and she does that "clickin" thing some of you were writing about recently. She easily goes into the her crate. Really, the only somewhat negative things about her are (1) it takes her a very long time to decide where she wants to do her business. We must walk back and forth and forth and back numerous times in our backyard before she finds the perfect spot..... go figure (2) she operates on eastern time! I normally get up at 5:00, but she likes 4:15... you know how that last hour of sleep is so good?! Well, I've kinda been missing out on that lately! But believe me her "sweetness" more that makes up for any lost sleep. Bob and I agree that once she heals and gets to Meetin' and Greetin' in Nashville she wil have no problem finding her forever home. It has been a real joy having her in our guest crate.
