23-051 Bristol  was adopted by an adoptive family in Mesa. They changed her name to  Zoe . The dog came to them with ear infections in both ears. Prednisone and Mometavet were prescribed; the adopter reported that the ears improved quickly after she started the meds and they have had no ear problems since. Ear infections are very common in Golden Retrievers, so we’re not surprised that one of  Ivy’s  6 puppies, who are part Golden, developed ear problems. The family will need to use  ear cleaner regularly to be sure the infections do not return.  Bristol  was the one puppy that most of our  applicants wanted, as her coloring is unusual. Instead of a plain vanilla/beige coat color all over like the other pups,  Bristol  is white with patches of rust; very attractive. At  Fry’s  grocery store in their stuffed animals collection, there is a puppy that looks a lot like  Bristol , so I think of her every time I see the stuffy.
