What Kind of Terrier Is This Little Girl?

 

This very special little lady we call  "P-nut"!, just walked up to our house and won our hearts. She was in extremely poor condition, being filthy, covered in fleas and flea dirt, very, very thin and starving!  Since she has wiry hair and the ears fold over we are guessing she might be a "Border Terrier" and might be three months give or take!

  

         In order to bring her in I had to first bathe her with a good flea soap and introduce her to the blow dryer!  She wasn't all that crazy about getting a bath but took it in stride quite well. You could tell the bath helped as she was very perky after and now she is flea free. I will have to do daily wet cotton swaps on her rear end where she has a large area of flea dirt build up. One must do it slowly so as not to make the hair fall out. She had been out a long time on her own or just didn't have good people taking care of her to be in such terrible shape. 

  

           Upon completion of her grooming I fortunately have on hand some excellent puppy food "Blue" which we feed to our youngest dog, Ginger, so she had a very good yet tiny meal to start the day off right. She ate like there was no tomorrow, poor baby. I think she would have eaten until she fell over she was just starving!  We feed all our dogs "Blue", what a difference it has made for them. We have a black lab, a mixed terrier puppy and a toy poodle and they all get alone great with the new puppy.

 

          We'll be taking P-nut to the vet this week maybe he can tell us more about her breed and her age. We need to get her started on her shots and flea treatment as soon as possible. Because she is so small I gave her a quarter of one of Precious flea pills which seems to be all she needs right now.

 

 

We have a good back yard for all our dogs to play in but they are all house dogs. P-nut has enjoyed checking it out.

 

          When it come to feeding time P-nuts table manners are not very good just yet so she has to eat in the time out cage or she would try eating the other dogs food which might not be received very well! Also she stays in the cage when I have to run errands as she like to chew on things a bit!!! LOL!
