We have had Savannah now for about a month. she lost weight when we first got her, so she had to pack that weight PLUS an additional 5-10 pounds. She since has put on about 5 pounds (the ones she lost orginially) and is still needing to pack on more.  you can see her backbone, and more than the last two ribs-more along the lines of the last 4. She looks well, just underweight from her having pups in Jan and then being spayed. I hope to have the weight back on her within the next month or two. not sure how much this helps, but keep us posted. i am adding chicken and rice to her food every other day to try and help the weight stick.

we tried the yogurt with Savannah and at first she liked it, but then kinda refused to eat if it was in with her food (glad i bought the little container ) You would want to keep the yogurt seperate from the chicken.  Maybe mix yogurt in the morning for "breakfast" and then possibly the chicken and rice for "dinner".  

:bsofftopic:-kinda

on the kong- when mixing yogurt in with it then freezing. what is the recommended time from when it is pulled out of the freezer to when it should be taken up becuase the yogurt may not be good anymore? Savannah will mess with it, then walk away, then come back, and walk away. its a cycle with her, and i just dont want her getting sick because the yogurt got too warm or was left out too long.

Savannah actually didnt even touch her toys until she saw Reese playing with them.  She is a very skittish girl who shyed away from any loud noise or raise of a hand. We couldnt play catch or anything becuase i think she though she was going to get smacked. not sure. We have had her a little over a month, and she just started playing with her toys last week. She has opened up a lot though since she first got here. If i remember correctly you rescued Gisselle from a bad situation correct?  if so her and savannah have some things in common-other than age  she will take some time to understand and trust the fact that all you want to do is love her and give her the best. Savvy wouldnt go near my boyfriend-she would stick to me like glue-now she barely ackowledges i am there unless we are working on her "manners" (i.e sit, laydown, shake, stay)  I would work with one toy at a time, and put the rest up. Once she understands that the toy is for fun and not going to hurt her, things will progress from there. Make sure the toy you have is a squeaky toy, not one with a ball attached. That is what we did with Savannah. Keep me/us posted on how she is doing.
