The neighbour's dog gave birth to several puppies and the owner needed homes for the new babies. So, she gave us one and we accepted it - but she's a sorry sight to see. I think she's the "ugly, unwanted one."
Her right eye is somewhat skewed; "pisak," in local parlance. Today, we're still not perfectly sure if she's blind on the right.
She was bony. For a two-month old pup, she was weightless.
I assigned her first to the second bathroom. Surprisingly, or because she was too weak, she behaved the first night. Then the following day, I gave her a good scrub.
After that refreshing bath, the "bony one" perked up and ran all over the kitchen and dining area.
I gave her bread and water, and gradually fed her house food. But into her first week, I noticed that her digestive system has not been working well; after each meal, she would "poo." Even with dog food, she still excretes few hours after eating.
So, I moved her into the "under construction" outside washroom. It has roof and walls already, so she's safe and warm there.
This is her second week with us. From a bony weakling, she has transformed into a perky, pesky little thing. We call her either "Whitey, or Tisay."
Welcome to your new home, Tisay!
