Our new temporary family member arrive last Sunday from a puppy mill. Suzy is a 5 year old female bichon frise, who weighs about 11 lbs. She has a very long body and does need to put a bit of weight on. When her fur is fluffed up she looks the right weight, but when we bathed her today, we saw that she is fairly slim and could stand to put on a couple of lbs.
Suzy is a typical mill dog. She is very hesitant with people and doesn't yet come to an outstretched hand or take treats. This will come with time. She does seem to like being outside and looks around with curiosity. She will follow our dog around. So far she is very quiet. We haven't heard a bark yet and she spends lots of time resting on one of the dog beds.
This wee girl will come out of her shell soon, but we are letting her determine the pace for now.
