Daisy goes to the vet

I took Daisy to the vet on Tuesday. She weighed 37.8 lbs including collar, harness, and leash (you know those add weight like your clothes do at the doctor's office). That was shocking to me. It also  means she weighs more than she did when we got her since she's been eating 3x a day plus tons of treats for a week! Her owners were feeding her Costco Chicken & Rice (but never gave any in the surrender process), but she couldn't have been getting enough of it regardless. She is taller than Alba and very lanky - lots of ribcage. Alba weighs just about 50 lbs.

After shaking and shuddering uncontrollably in the waiting room, she did settle down by the time our vet came into the exam room. She was a very good girl considering the poking and prodding (plus never having had a proper trip to the veterinarian either) she had to endure plus the blood test and slow blood draw. She was a very good girl. Lots of doting on her by the entire staff. She is a copper beauty! (just like my girl Alba!)
