Mandie is a engaging little Boston Terrier that loves to run in the yard and chase squirrels up the fence. Once she has successfully scared them off she lays in the sun, rolls on her back in the grass and tries to get as many tummy rubs as she can. In the evenings she will lay on the couch between her foster mom and dad and chewing a Nyla bone until she falls asleep. When she sees her old friends she will jump up on her crate nd do a happy dance to greet them , and ask to be picked up. She likes her bird’s eye view of the world.
Mandie came to us in March, found by a kind spirit who believed she was being starved. After a few visits to the vet, we found out that she has Protein Loosing Enteropathy (PLE). She was given some meds and put on a low fat high protein diet and gained weight like a champ. What we thought may be a long and tough battle turned out to be something rather simple in this pretty girl’s case. The right diet and a periodic trips to see doc gives her a normal life.
Mandie loves going for walks on the beach and hanging out listening to the music, if you’re not careful she may steal your dance partner.
