Well, after 3 1/2 months of battling the mange, Suki went to the vet yesterday for a skin scrape and it turned up negative. They would have kept her and spayed her then, but I had already fed her breakfast. So first thing this morning I drove her out to the vet and dropped her off. The surgery will happen sometime this morning and I will find out how things went this afternoon. Then tomorrow morning I'll be able to go pick her back up. Along with the spay surgery, she'll also be having her baby canines pulled since her adult canines have fully come in and the baby ones show no sign of budging.
It was tough leaving her there because she looked so scared, even though I know how kind they are at the vets and how much attention they give the animals. I left her blankie with her and a favorite toy in hopes that having familiar things around her will calm her down a bit. It won't be long now and she'll be heading to her forever home. We will all miss her horribly, as she's been here long enough to feel like one of the family. Luckily we know her new family, and although they are all the way in Denver, they will keep us updated on her adventures and send lots of photos. She will be a spoiled little girl and should transition into her new life fairly quickly.
The photo above was taken yesterday afternoon in the back yard during a short-lived break in the rain showers. The dogs had a blast chasing each other and soaking up the sun, and came inside just in time to avoid the rain when it started back up.
