This is my new puppy. At the age of 18, our family dog had to be put down. I looked around online, and fell in love with her the moment I saw her picture. She was found at an animal shelter down south. She had been beaten, starved, and had a wire imbedded in her neck. They were going to put her down, when a family near here decided to foster her. She was cleaned and fed and taught to trust people.
She's quite a goofball. She loves to chase things, and to run through/around/over obstacles. I wish there was an agility course nearby. For now, the woods will have to do. Here she is watching a squirrel.
She is the sweetest and kindest dog I have ever worked with. She loves to please people, and behaves wonderfully even with very young children. She's defensive around larger dogs - especially German Shepherds and Huskies. However, she plays well with dogs her size or smaller, and is learning to let the human take charge when she feels uncomfortable.
She loves to play in mud. This was taken after the dog park had flooded for the first time this year. It's very close to the river, which meant that she was chasing fish in the dog park. For some reason, she prefers rolling in mud to being massaged with shampoo.
She is such a goofball. She loves to roll around, to twist and turn. But most of all, she loves her belly rubbed. When anyone enters the house, she will charge towards them and flop on her back, waving her paws in the air. She is the gift of laughter.
