About Juliet
Status: Adopted! Species: Dog General Color: Black with Tan, Yellow or Fawn Eye Color: Brown Current Size: 8.1 Pounds Potential Size: 11 Pounds Current Age: 8 Years 5 Months (best estimate)	Microchipped: Yes Housetrained: No Obedience Training Needed: Needs Training Grooming Needs: Low

Am I not the cutest thing you could see?! I am the typical playful puppy who needs the standard puppy patience. Give me guidance and structure and I will thrive. My life started with a dark cloud: I was born in a shelter but was lucky enough to have a fabulous foster dad to assist me (and all my siblings) on the path to a grand life!

That cloud is still tickling me though, because I was born with a congenital defect know as mega-esophagus. Mega-e means my esophagus is too wide in diameter and has diminished muscle tone. Because "dad" found it early, I have thrived :) When I eat, food is not moved down my esophagus on its own. He keeps me vertical, in a begging position, and lets gravity do its thing. Dinner takes about 15 minutes and I have to be patient {eye roll}. When I am fully grown, I can use a Bailey Chair, which looks like a high chair. Dogs like me live full and normal lives. I just have to go vertical with meals.

Please don't skip over me - it's mega-e, not a fatality! My DRoH people will be happy to give you more information about me and mega-e.
