Samantha (Sam) has been living with us for a few months now and is loving life. As soon as she gets up and eats her breakfast, she waits by the back door to go outside to chase animals and chew sticks. Sometimes she runs laps, especially when she has a lot of energy to burn and our resident dog doesn't feel like playing. If he does feel like playing, they wrestle like bears!
As Sam has settled in, we've decreased her medicine. She's only on one medicine to help with her vomiting and we are hoping she won't need this medicine forever. She gets one pill one hour before she eats. We've gradually switched from prescription dog food to a puppy food, hopefully she will start to gain weight. She hasn't gained weight since she's lived with us, but has maintained her weight which is great (she's still underweight, but we're working on it:).

In addition to loving the outdoors, she loves to go on walks and we are working on her walking manners. She still pulls on the leash but is getting better every day. We took her hiking and she LOVED it!! When we got to a lake, she jumped in to retrieve a stick. She loves the water and didn't seem to mind that the water was completely over her head!
Sam stays in her kennel at night and when we are gone, we did an experiment and let her stay out for a few hours when we were gone. We came home to the couch pillow shredded all over the living room. Needless to say, Sam stays in her kennel when we leave now!
We're happy Sam isn't throwing up so much anymore and she seems really happy living the RAGOM life! We are going to keep working on her manners and hopefully her health will continually improve! She's a sweetie and we are happy to have her as our foster!
