    Thanks, I'll be sure to ask my vet about that when I take her there next week.

    I think it was mostly not feeding emaciated dogs too much right away but it couldn't hurt to ask the vet.

    And here she is after her first trip to the beach. Scars are healing up nicely.

    Amazing how their personalities come out with a little love.

    My wife and I had an older Boxer Boy that was our baby and about a year ago we rescued a Boxer girl out of NM. She had been a bait dog as well. Nothing but tongue, tail and bones. She had no idea what toys were. I had to feed her in a separate room so she would not take the old boys food, you know the drill.

    The boy spent the last year teaching her how to puppy and she has blossomed into a super wonderful kissy face bed warmer. When we had to put our boy to sleep late December, she realized how hart broken we both were, and gave us both even more love.

    The scars will heal, and these wonderful beings forgive some how. Enjoy your new baby. I know that in time I will get another to keep the girl company, and of course, it will be a rescue.

    I know your pain and joy. Sounds like your new dog won the human lottery.

    Ruby went to the Rainbow Bridge tonight.

    I have never seen a dog that tried so hard to be the best dog she could be. Absolutely devoted to us.

    Looks like Ruby and Wheels will keep each other company.

    RIP Ruby. You were such a good dog.
