We received the video of Chestnut in a trashy jungle with her newborn puppies, she was covered in ticks. How could we have said no to her! As soon as we had her we gave her a bath and after four hours she was almost tick free. Chestnut has neurotically tics which are most likely from Distemper. We made a PCR Test just to make sure she is not spreading anymore the virus and luckily she was negative. Chestnut is a loving mommy and enjoys all the cuddles she can get!
