It Has Been a While!



It has been a while since I have posted in my blog.  The picture above (which my foster mom says is a favorite of hers because I look so peaceful and sweet) was taken after I got my esophageal tube out. I still had a bandage around my neck for a few days.  Now that bandage is gone, and everything seems to be healed up.  Now decisions are being made about what to do about my eyes.  Once I know more, I will let you know.

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Please check in again.

Hi! I'm Starla, the Chocolate Poodle!

Thank you so much for visiting my blog!  Make sure you read the information on my BDRA page first because that tells a lot about me: https://www.blinddogrescue.org/dog/starla/ My story before coming to BDRA is a sad one.  No one took care of me for a long time, and I was found wandering alone in a large city.  I can't see or hear so it was extra hard and scary.  I am thankful for the shelter for bringing me to safety and taking care of me until the Blind Dog Rescue brought me to one of their foster homes.

Things Have Been a Little Ruff...

Well, in the first four weeks at my BDRA foster home, I had four dental surgeries - one each week!  Apparently my mouth was so infected prior to the time I came to BDRA that the stitches from my tooth extractions would not hold.  So, about ten days ago, I went to a soft tissue surgeon who did some skin grafting to patch up the holes in my mouth (so I would not get a terrible infection in my sinuses and beyond).  And I got an esophageal feeding tube for food and my meds.  My foster mom gives me my medication through the tube, and I am eating blended food using my mouth.  So far, so good!  The stitches are holding, and I am being a real trooper, hanging in there, and hoping my mouth will be all healed up soon! Please send good thoughts my way!
