Punkin Update 11/10/08 (from her foster mom)
Punkin is adapting beautifully to her temporary foster home and nursing care. She seems to be completely unaffected by her past. She does not startle and embraces new experiences. She has integrated well into her foster pack which include a female Rottweiler, a male and female Pit Bull and a blind male Shih Tzu. She has met the "barn dogs" and horses and loves running with the bicycles around the horse rings. She doesn't mind having her wounds irrigated and cleaned. They are healing beautifully and look great with pink granulating tissue. She "sits" for her pills which she loves in Pill Pockets. Her fleas are gone thanks to Capstar and she is eating like a champ! She is sleeping ALL night in the kennel and has already learned "sit" and "shake". Her favorite spot in the house is on the big pillow in front of the fireplace.

Dreaming of sugarplums...
Look at her wounds! They are hardly visible! WOW!!!!
Punkin with her foster siblings! The middle one had an embedded harness once too, and the one on the end, Marley, we all know as the dog who had an embedded collar and once looked like this....
God Bless you Heather and Brian, for everything you do for these angels. Thank you for helping our little Punkin for a while.

Lily, that dog in the middle in the one pic looks absolutely fantastic! You can only tell a little bit on her chest where the harness was embedded there. I'd post up a pic but don't want to have it out there in the open for people who may be squeamish. Heather and Brian are WONDERFUL and do amazing things with their dogs! Punkin couldn't be in any better hands :) Good luck puppy!
Thank you for the kind words. It has been a rewarding experience to care for Punkin and watch her progress. She is a special little dog who will make an excellent companion pet.
We appreciate what YOU are doing for South Carolina’s precious little abused and abandoned “Pibbles”. Charleston is fortunate to have such dedicated rescue groups! It has been a pleasure to work with you all.
May your good deeds be returned to you ten-fold!
:) Heather and Bryan
