Thank you all!

Panda is my baby. She's 8 years old, I got her in mid-July from a "breeder", she had her last litter in APRIL!!! Apparently, it didn't go so well, and she didn't really recover from it, so I'm guessing that's the reason they got rid of her. (They said they wanted to go travelling in their RV.) Anyway, she was way underweight, her hair was dull and dry and very sparse, plus instead of brushing her, they had chopped off everything that got matted, on an Aussie that means neck/chest and back of hind legs. She looked absolutely pitiful. First thing I did was put her on a good food (Blue Buffalo) and Senior vitamins, and then get her spayed about a month later. She now looks AMAZING. Her coat is thick, shiny and supersoft, it's growing back beautifully, she's got her appetite back and I have to be careful so she doesn't get too chunky. Her coat is not as long yet as an Aussie's should be, but she's getting there.
So now she's spoiled rotten, sleeps in bed with me, and follows me EVERYwhere I go. Like I said, Panda is my baby.
