Annie's injuries and opening up

Last night we let Annie on the couch, and I noticed more scars on her front leg- they look like little holes, all over- they are now healed so just have a bit of scab or nothing- but they can be seen pretty easily since her fur hasn't grown back yet. We realized these were all on her left side- and it really looks like she was shot at with a shotgun... they are so small they probably weren't trying to actually kill her-but probably to scare her away. This makes sense as her owners said they didn't fence her in and it was the neighbors that 'beat' her- but in the area she came from its common for people to shoot a gun to scare off dogs they dont' want on their property.

Annie's personality is definitely starting to show! She loves to be right at your heels and adores attention. Cuddling and getting belly rubs thrill her. She can be demanding about it, so we are ignoring her demands for attention, but still giving her plenty on our terms. She'll whine and make funny cattle dog noises at us or paw at us if we stop giving her attention.

She doesn't mind going in her crate- but will whine sometimes. Other times she just curls up to nap.

Annie still hasn't taken a liking to dry food. She is happy if we mix wet food in though!
