5/15/25-Millie continues to like chicken and cheese for her treats. When I lay down on the ground next to her, she puts her head on my head. She really is a love.
 
 

5/13/25-Millie did fine with her spay though it was scary for her being in a cage (probably reminds her of cage at breeder).  She had an ear infection and was treated. She’s not a fan of the cone so I gave her a break while she relaxed on my lap. She is a love. She follows us around but will walk away when we approach her. But she is walking away now and not running at least! When we’re seated on the ground, she’ll come over and give us a lick. Though she would not be bad with kids, the extra activity & stress from kids around would not be fair to her right now. 

5/12/25-Where oh where has my lady gone?  
Millie missed me when I left & stood up to watch out the window. She is starting to play and gets excited but will still run to her bed when we approach her. She loves her ears scratched and will give you kisses when you lean in. Awww. 

5/9/25-Road trip!  Millie loves the car & a snuggle after the ride.
 
5/8/25-Big day!  First day for belly rubs!  Although she still hasn’t realized the benefits of bacon training bites, she sure is a lover of Manchego cheese (girl after my own heart)! Lol 
  

5/5/25-Millie so wants to trust humans. Still runs, paces, and jumps to sudden movements and noises. She will get there with time & patience!

5/4/25-One week in with Millie, and she really is such a sweet dog. Although still very timid, she has warmed up to touch and really enjoys sitting on your lap and snuggling. Millie is definitely a lapdog! She’s showing signs of some separation anxiety, but eventually will settle down in her crate at bedtime and when we are away at work. House breaking is still an ongoing effort, but she did do her first #2 potty outside this week! She will be a great addition, someone’s family and looks forward to settling into her furr-ever home.

4/30/25-Millie is a love! It is beautiful to watch her slowly come out of her shell. I’m getting a few face licks. She is drinking water from a bowl and she’s eating small amounts of food. She went to pre-spay today & had her pre op and bloodwork. It went well and she is scheduled for her spay on Tuesday May 13. The possible ear mite diagnosis from her first vet visit was incorrect. She is mite free, but does have some dental work that will need to be addressed by her new owner at their cost.

4/29/25-Millie is warming up. Getting a few licks every day and she is starting to approach me. She likes to run around our fenced -In garden. Pre-op appointment for Spay is tomorrow. 

4/26/25-Millie arrived at her foster home today. She paced, ran circles around our island, and ran from us for a while.  Finally resting. She’s exhausted. 

04/25/25-Millie is a sweet 4-year-old female miniature poodle.  She came from a commercial breeder as they were just done breeding her. She arrived safely into rescue today thanks to her overnight & transport volunteers. Her pre-spay appointment is Wednesday 4/30 & we hope to get her spay setup for asap. She is being treated for possible ear mites & may need a tooth

extracted, we will get that checked out during her spay too. Once she is spayed & we get to know her better she will be ready for her new home.
