Cinder's life in Oregon has been anything but boring: wrestling with Slick, carrying a dead squirrel, bedtime ZOOMs, sleeping in the bath tub, getting stuck under the bed, and dinner at Culver's. A quick learner and great personality, we were going to miss her.
However, reports of Cinder's demise were premature. After further investigation and difficult discussions, she has not been terminated. There are many differing opinions and each situation is different. The hope is that her situation will improve naturally and she will become a guide dog. Welcome Back Cinder!!
Returning home after our walk, we stopped by the high school for a track meet. There were gun shots, screaming girls, and other puppies to play with. Cinder exceeded her daily quota for meeting new people/canines. Watching her response through this infection, she has gained my trust that she is housebroken.
Medical Update: Antibiotic injection literally knocked her out yesterday afternoon. After 24 hours, Cinder was showing minimal, but significant improvement. Able to wait 15 minutes between trips outside. She started a stronger antibiotic this evening. Energy level still high.

That's good to hear! A fellow blogger had a pup who had an inverted vulva and was ineligable to a breeder (for obvious reasons /grin/) but has been a stellar guide for a number of years now! UTIs are NO fun! Eclipse and Eva both come home with one! Good job getting on top of it quickly though and enjoy the girl!
