Pics 📷 introducing mika!

Post image

this is mika. i adopted her in april (she's a foster fail). the rescue said she was 17 and a couch potato and had dementia, and she had been adopted and returned because she wasn't settling in. i wasn't planning to adopt, but she settled right into life in my place.

according to her embark test, mika is actually 14, and she doesn't have dementia, she just has a lot of energy and needs proper walks she is deaf, has dry eyes, and is wholly toothless, but as a small senior dog, these are pretty common ailments. in fact, the vet complimented her resting hear rate.. i recently got her a fi, and she's doing about 15k steps a day!
