2/17/22 ~ Hi all, Mona checking in! You may remember me. I just finished taking care of my 6 adorable pups. I was finally spayed and have started my heartworm treatment. Foster mom says I am a challenge to keep quiet as I am a pretty energetic girl. I love playing with other dogs! Because of that I was moved to a quieter foster home for my treatment. The vet thinks I am closer to a year old. I’ve learned how to sit; I know down, and I will even “crawl” if there are treats involved. Foster mom says I need a home with a 6-foot fence (I can jump a traditional 4 foot) or a home that plans to leash walk me. Apparently, my recall isn’t very good right now, but who knows, maybe with time, patience, and trust, I’ll get better. Foster mom also says I walk well on a leash when I have this thing called a Halti on (I sure didn’t like it when she first tried it on though). I like to explore the world and sniff everything (also known as pulling, who knew?) so I guess I need some work with a flat collar or harness. When I first got here, I was REALLY into checking out what was on the counter. Heck, I was starving, how can you blame me?? Foster mom says I’ve gotten much better, but she still needs to scold me occasionally. I’m also working on my mouthiness, but it is improving. I am told I’m quite the power chewer, but I also LOVE my stuffies and I can entertain myself by tossing them around the room. Oh! Did I mention that I love to snuggle on the couch and give kisses too? I’m on something called Apoquel because I was super itchy when I got here, but the vet is hopeful that it is just from the dry winter weather and will improve in the summer. I am an Oklahoma girl after all. I’ll be hanging out with my foster mom for a while, but I just wanted to update everyone on my progress. So, if you are an approved adopter and think that you might be my perfect family, please email labmatch@labadoption.org or if you want to get approved and possibly meet me, please go to our website and fill out an application www.labadoption.org
2/9/22 ~ Update on me, I am gaining weight and doing well but it turns out I am heartworm positive and will need to spend the next few months getting treatment for that so I will be on a medical hold for a little while. 12/20/21 ~ Hi Everyone, Mona checking in. The nice people at L.E.A.R.N. brought myself, my puppies and Charlie up from Oklahoma and are a taking really good care of us. I'm super busy taking care of my babies right now, and foster mom says I will need to be spayed (what the heck is that?? ) and work to put on weight. She says I'm really skinny, so much so that she can feel my backbone when she pets me. No worries though, I'm getting all kinds of nummy food right now to help me with my pups and to keep up my strength. Foster mom says I'm a really good mamma, and take really good care of my babies, but that I also like my quiet time with my humans. I'm turning into quite the snuggler. Stay tuned for more updates as I teach my babies how to be good dogs and work on "fattening" up. :)
