Hurrah! Hurrah! Hurrah! Big news for Miss Autumn! Her leaking has STOPPED! Since we added the Proin, she has NOT been leaking urine. Autumn had her follow up appointment with Dr. Myers and her lab work was all good. She expects no future issues with her kidney. At that time, Autumn had been leaking urine still but only at night. Seemed like while she was sleeping, she was not aware of controlling her sphincter. We started Proin and the next day and all days since, she has been dry. We are so happy for her!

Dr. Myers did a quick ultra sound of her bladder and says that she still has some healing to do there. She also thought that as Autumn matures (she was just spayed during that big surgery), she will have better control. So we hope she does not always require Proin. The Proin is only about $40 per month.

Autumn has really come out of her shell in the past few weeks. She eagerly greets new people who come to visit. She does not skitter away when something drops or there is some other loud noise. She is still startled by loud noises or sudden movements but bravely stands her ground. 

Beautiful Autumn is awaiting her forever family! She is a happy, young, athletic pup.  If you have a medium to large dog and no children under 10, that could be you! 

Autumn is really settling in and showing her puppy side. In the photo you can see she is checking out the box. She is very busy these days! She is curious but also scared of new things. She was recently very spooked when I placed a clothes basket on top of her crate for a few minutes. That caused her to bark and run in fear. Dropping anything causes her to skitter away.

Autumn loves to chase the ball or anything you throw. She usually brings it back :). She runs and wrestles with my resident girl Sadie. Or she plays by herself running and throwing sticks and balls in the air. 

Because she is so skittish, we require that she live in a home with another medium to large dog to follow. We also know that living with children under the age of ten will be stressful for her. Perhaps she will overcome both of these as the years go by and she learns to trust that she is safe. But she is not there yet. 

She will be one year old on 11/18. Happy birthday, Autumn!
