Venus has been very busy growing and becoming more confident.  At her last vet visit she was 76.2.  She is still learning her manners but coming along nicely.  She has mastered sitting and waiting to be released to eat.  Anything for a meal. Venus has been to 2 Great Dane events and met lots of new friends.  She has not met a cat yet but I think she will do fine.  We will see.  On our recent trip to Care a Lot we discovered Venus is horrified of shopping carts.  We have had thunder and that didn't bother her but that big bad cart was going to get her.

Venus was exhausted at Paws for a Cause. This just makes me giggle every time I watch it.

Venus had a great weekend.  She met her skin aunt and uncle on Saturday.  She warmed right up to Aunt Barbara but kept her distance from Uncle Kevin.  Now I know what we need to work on, miss Venus needs to be exposed to more men.  Venus will now sit at feeding time. Whoop

whoop. She is still choosing to ignore commands the rest of the time.  Baby Steps, it's only been 2 weeks. Her skin is looking better each day.  We can't wait for her fur to start to come it.

Another day in paradise says Venus.  We are still working on sit but she really has no interest in learning.  Venus wants to play 24/7/, which is a good thing after only after a week in rescue.  Nothing new to report except Venus is now giving kisses.

September 1 Welcome Fall

What a difference a day makes. Today Venus woke up with a wiggle tail and a spring in her step.  From the moment her crate door opened she has been full of love and life.  She was a true puppy today doing things that puppies should and shouldn't do. She has been on my heals since 7:00am.  She even ran a little with her fur sister, Storm.  She has discovered toys and it turns out she LOVES them.  Today was her first day with learning to sit. We didn't get very far but she is receptive to learning.  No walk today it was just to hot however we did walk through the garage door a number of times which has been a challenge. There has been improvement in her poor little hinny that is covered in bug bites and sores. Each day is a better day:)

Venus had a great day.  She wondered around the house and became more familiar with everything. She has discovered the dog bed and seems to enjoy it now. Before she seemed to want to lay on hard surfaces.  We have also found she loves tennis balls.  Tomorrow is bath day.  She also enjoys sun bathing.

Venus came into The Great Dane of the Commonwealth rescue with her sister Serena on August 24th 2014.  They were both abandoned on a tennis court and left to fend for themselves.  Thus their names Venus and Serena.  They were kept together and slowly began to blossom.  Venus and Serena were separated on Thursday August 28 so they would become stronger independent sweet girls.  We believe them to be about 4 months old.

Venus met her fur foster sisters and bother and was very tentative.  She slept through her first night with us with no problems.  She is a tiny bag of bones and covered in bug bites.  Despite her ruff start to life she is a very sweet girl.  We are going to give her all the love we can and build her confidence so that she will be the bouncing fun loving puppy that we know she can be.
