During an emergency surgery, an advanced medical care clinic in Las Vegas was able to save her life and amputate her leg.
Baby Gretchen has since been in a very loving foster home with a foster mom, Jennifer, and a big sister, Maxine. In June, we shared Jennifer's video of Baby Gretchen in a life vest, swimming in her pool to strength her other three legs (please see the video again below).

Jennifer says that Baby Gretchen (now named Nilla Wafer) loves to charge out from under the bed to play with Maxine, then dash back under. She also loves playing hide-and-seek in the backyard.
Maxine and Baby Gretchen cuddle while they sleep, usually with Baby Gretchen holding her favorite toy (of a mailman) in between her paws.
