Marlee is doing pretty well. We got through the winter without any problems, and she seems to be enjoying the spring weather now. Her friends the cats are still around, and they hang out together all the time.
Her health has been pretty good. Now that her thyroid medication is regulated we don't have the additional expense of monthly lab work, so that has been a relief. She still isn't able to get herself up off the hard floor, but we added an area rug by the back door where she goes in and out, and that helps a lot since often she will choose to lay there, and then she can get up on her own.
She is loving it that the kids are outside more. When they come out, her tail goes right up and she runs right along with them. She has a funny way of running, sort of a front legs-back legs thing, instead of one front and the opposite back going at the same time. I don't know if it is because of her joints/hips/muscles that she does this or what, but it is distinctively Marlee, and very cute. :)
We do have some 6-month testing that is coming up soon (around $150 or so) to see how her organs are going, etc., and she should have a dental cleaning soon too.
We're enjoying this sweet soul and are thankful to those of you that have so generously helped her out!
