I took Tia back to the vet this morning for her follow up appointment. She had another thorough examination and a second and third opinion - she does have an irregular heart beat Crying or Very sad

It is not really surprising in a dog of her age, condition and considering the hard life she has lead Crying or Very sad

It could happen again or she could go on to a ripe old age. Sadly what she needs is the exact opposite of what she has at the moment. She needs a quiet, stress free life with a few gentle, short walks each day and someone to love and be loved by her.

The probable cause on Saturday was her hearing my voice in the paddock and getting herself worked up because her bedroom door was still shut. She could hear me but couldn't see me or get my attention. Her heart could have missed too many beats - the excitement of Amy picking her up and carrying her could have been enough to kick start everything again, hence she was able to make such a good recovery without any treatment.

She really needs a home to come up for her and soon Crying or Very sad

Poor baby

Let's all hope that home comes sooner rather than later.

Took Tia out for a gentle stroll with Karen today and we were both very relieved that she seems to have perked up a bit. She really enjoyed all the fuss she was getting.

When we took her back to her kennel, my mum sat in there with her stroking her, grooming her and talking to her for a while. When we left, Tia was chewing on her bone looking a lot happier than the last time we saw her. Hopefully things will improve for her from now on. Fingers crossed.

Tia was a bit down in the dumps when we arrived today, but Mum cheered her up. It doesn't take much to bring a smile to her face (both my Mum and Tia!)

Victoria and I took Tia for a lovely long (but slow!) walk this morning. She seemed very perky and waggy, which was wonderful to see. She paid particularly close attention to Victoria, having worked out she was a softer touch than me at giving out treats!!

Tia was very ready for her walk this morning. She trundled along quite happily, asking for treats intermittently Rolling Eyes

As well as her morning walks, she is also having a short mouch around the kennel grounds in the afternoon. Considering it is only just over a week ago that we thought we had lost her, she is doing amazingly well Laughing

I just wish a foster home would come up for her - the weather has turned now and I don't know how she is going to cope with a winter in kennels Crying or Very sad

On our way back today, we had a coat fitting and I was delighted that I have managed to get one that almost fits and will certainly do for the time being Laughing

You can see in this photo and the ones Janet took on Saturday, that her beautiful smiley face has become more serious and worried Crying or Very sad
