She just had a teeth cleaning about a month ago. This photo is from about a year ago. And all last summer I had her in and out of the vets for what was most likely a huge overreaction of every little thing on my part. Even took her to a specialist to spend $500 and find out there was absolutely nothing wrong with her.

She had been returned to the shelter three times before I got her for aggressive behavior. I’m finding out that her growling isn’t actually an menacing growl but how she plays more than anything. She just sounds super aggressive with it and I can understand why that would seem overbearing to some people. I think she’s learning how to play gentler with me. I’ve seen a tremendous change in her behavior in the 3 years I’ve had her. She was 5 when I got her so I have to imagine between three different owners they each didn’t have her too long to actually study and notice her behaviors all that much.

But she’s found her forever home and I try to do my best keeping her in tip top shape!

Thanks!
