Update: 01/05 - It really is a "feet" of monumental proportion!!!! Sophie came into rescue (a year ago in August by the way) and wouldn't let ANYONE touch her feet. We had to sedate her for nail clippings. Her foster mother has been working diligently to desensitize her to a dremel tool. Today her foster mother had this to say: I only need mention the word, "toesies", and Sophie Ann now runs into the kitchen and flops down ready for her pedicure. (Nice nails mean squat to her, but beef chunks totally have her attention.)  

Sophie is wonderfully sweet. She has a difficult time with initial dog introductions. To decrease that stress during placement, we feel it would be best to place her in a home where she is the only dog. She is great with all people, however, we also feel that she would do better in a home with children over 12.  Sophie had an extraordinarily difficult start in life and those scars run deep for her.  She has done some basic training while in rescue and we would encourage new owners to continue that journey with her. She's worth it!

Update: 1/05 - A little update on Thor. Last week he had a full blown seizure. We suspected he may have had one right after his eye surgery but we weren't 100% sure; now we know. He's had a physical and all seems to be in order. Right now, we are keeping a close eye on him and monitoring the frequency of seizure activity. We are not going to start him on any medication because he isn't having them often enough to warrant that. Poor guy, unfortunately it is common for white and deaf Danes to also have epilepsy.

He is thriving in his foster home though and coming along beautifully with his training. What a wonderful and super boy he is! His medical bills now have reached about $1700.
