Yes! The kids and I named her Pika (the kids love Pokémon and Pikachu), and she is super sweet and the kids love her! She’s scared and keeps her distance from our dog, but loves our nanny’s pig so we’ve worked out a routine with all of them! She’s eating well and her hot spot or the shaved part on the neck has grown in well and she’s gained some weight as we have mixed wet and dry food together for her which has been great!
