ESRA-Gaby

Gaby is my current foster dog. She is a 7.5 year old English Springer Spaniel (right now I'd bet there's some cocker in there as well, I guess time will tell). Very sweet, but kind of like a bull in a china shop!

Gaby's first night here.

So far I've learned that she enjoys food (duh, she's a spaniel), going for walks, and going for car rides. She also has this pretty neat pattern on her side that resembles a butterfly!

If you haven't noticed yet, Gaby's a little plump. Her goal while she's with me is to get healthy! She came into rescue with an ear infection, a UTI, and severe dental disease in addition to being obese. As of last Friday, she weighs 68.8# and is a hair under 20" tall.

So far the only issue I've encountered with her is her dislike of a crate. We're working on it slowly and she is improving. She's also learning how to learn and her first offered behavior is sitting to be let out of her crate.

This is sure to be a fun journey as I get to watch her personality develop as her body changes so she can have MORE FUN!
