That's right. A puppy latte! We made it tiny because she's the world's daintiest eater and we're also trying to keep her skinny.
I can't believe she's made it this far! In the year after the surgery, I wasn't sure how long she would be with us because she had so many health challenges and struggled with pain. She's in much better health now and I'm so happy to see her happily hop around every day.
