Kaia

Life started out very rough for Kaia.  The oh so wonderful Dr. Zimmerman took her case on at Erdman Animal Hospital. Kaia's  original name was Eve. Dr. Zimmerman had treated her a few times prior to the surrender. She could not walk and things were getting worse. The owners had no money and quickly lost interest in her treatments. Dr. Zimmerman being the INCREDIBLE person she is had the owners surrender her. Kaia deserved a second chance with someone who could care for her properly. Dr. Zimmerman brought her to Celebrie and I fell in LOVE with her. Poor Kaia's story broke my heart and I was determined to do whatever I could do to help this dog overcome her illness. 

Memorial day weekend my dearest friend Kelly took her to her house. I believe this was the turning point for her. Kelly and I went out and got her a pool to try and work some rehab in. Dave, Kelly and I filled up Kaia's therapy pool and got to work. We brought Bella Boo over for some motivation. Sweet Kaia did such a great job that weekend. Lots of pictures were taken and sent to Dr. Zimmerman. She was so HAPPY with her progress. With the proper balance of medication, rehab, love and support Kaia could walk. Having a part in her story is something I will never forget. Kelly, Dr. Zimmerman and Dave gave her so much love and NEVER gave up on her. We all worked together as a team. Could you have guessed Kelly adopted her ?! Kelly is AMAZING and does a phenomenal job with her. 

Kaia is living the GOOD LIFE now with Kelly and her gang of fur balls. Kelly is a good friend of mine so we often get the pups together for play dates. On big hikes Kaia keeps up with Bella, Lily, and Kelly's two other dogs Munchkin and Dakota. She is a little slow jumping over the logs like Bella, but we LOVE her just the same.
