My Story
7/1/24 - Hilda Pupdate!
Hilda is so much happier and stronger than when she arrived! She is her foster momma's favorite, and it's just so hard to put into words how special she is.
Hilda has some permanent damage from a slipped disc, but is just what we call an "as is" model. There is a chance she can continue to improve with PT, but she's really amazing even with her issues. Her mobility has greatly improved, she can get up puppy steps, but doesn't have enough control to go up a full flight of stairs. We refer to her walking as being a stumbling drunk. She doesn't even act like anything ever happened to her.
Because of the damage, she is incontinent. She can't really control her poop, but once she gets in a routine, you can plan her poops during outside time, and walking around the yard will work the poop out. Then it's easy to use a diaper on her during inside time to avoid dribbling.
She loves everyone and especially enjoys when there are puppies in the home. She is the house mom and tries to groom/chew on everyone. Hilda will sit there and talk to you while you try to relax if she really wants something, so she's not afraid to speak her mind.
Everyone at the vet adores her, she talks to them all day when shes there. She loves her vet friends so much! Hilda is a nervous traveler and can be nervous with new experiences, but is improving as she is getting more used to it!
She just wants to be near a kind person and be loved, and possibly have some young'uns to boss and play with

j/1/24 - Meet Hilda!
Hilda comes to us from the Abilene shelter. This little funny muffin was at risk due to having a spinal issue which based on X-rays appears to be a slipped disc or an old injury. Hilda gets along really well, but has some lameness and instability in her hind legs. But it doesn't slow her down or stop her from living her best life!
At about 8 years old, and 8 lbs, this messy queen is settling in fast! She looooves people, and has really enjoyed playing with her foster fur siblings and puppies . She wobbles around following her foster mama like a drunken shadow. She is working on her potty training, but thankfully doesn't appear to have any incontinence from her injury
Hilda is a calm little girl who can get some zoomies, but really just seems to enjoy having a safe home she can be a part of. She is learning to snuggle and be held, and thankfully, she is a quick learner since she is feeling more comfortable
