Original: Princess came to her MAESSR foster home along with Noble and Precious when their Virginia family could no longer care for them. They had lived as outside dogs and are learning the wonders of life inside. All three are a bit shy but quickly warm up for some loving.
Princess is very sweet and loves attention. She will keep batting you with her paw when you stop petting her. As is typical with a Springer, she cannot get close enough to you.
She has completed all of her vet work and was diagnosed during her exam as being positive for Lyme disease. She is currently on doxycycline for 30 days which should take care of this. It is possible that the Lyme will become active again and she would just need another 30 day cycle of the same medication.
Princess is being crate trained and has done fairly well so far. She is a little overweight, so her new family will need to help her reduce her waistline.
There will be more news coming on Princess as she relaxes in foster care.
