Tess is a 4 year old Rescue Cavalier King Charles Spaniel
that we're fostering. She is a female Blenheim.
She had not had much if any socialization in her life, but is slowly coming along.
She wants attention, her tail and back half of her body will be swinging
side to side like crazy, but is afraid to get it.
She has socialization and medical problems.
The socialization one's we're working on with the help of our pack (see
photos-pets). The medical one's are being taken care of by our
vet, a canine ophthalmologist (sp), medication and time to get well.
She definitely prefers men to women. Women scare
her. She continues to gain trust in people. She's
slowing getting to where she will come up to me for attention on her
own. She'll still cower some, but then stands up and enjoys the
petting and rubbing. She's now to the point she'll come over and
put her paws up on me, but not my wife, when she wants some attention.
She's getting drops in her eyes 3 times a day.
This is for the Dry Eye condition she has. That has stopped the
scabs forming on her cornea and enabled her to get about 80 percent of
her vision back. She has also recovered 30 percent of her tear
production. She still has some problems when the lights are
dim and shadows, also with sudden movements will startle her.
She's gone to her forever home and has a 2 legged
brother and 4 legged sister.

De-Ticking Lucy and Tessie.
Both were covered in Ticks. Almost 200 ticks were picked off of both dogs. This was after a flea bath. Thankfully most were dead, but still attached, so just had to be removed. |

Tess wants attention, but has not been socialized and is scared of contact. Lucy enjoys the contact and has been socialized with other people.

Tess likes to take the stuffed animals and treat them like Puppies.
She can be possessive and will growl if one of the larger dogs comes around her "puppies". |
