05/06/2015 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Looking up at me so sweetly as I passed by her kennel, I did a double take and fell in love right then and there. A gorgeous face, a Rubenesque figure, her deep amber eyes looked into mine and I was a goner. Love her! Housetrained as advised by her former owner, she took care of her business the moment we were out the door and off we go. She pulls slightly on the leash, but checks up often as we walk and is so quietly happy to make a new friend. Acknowledging other dogs we pass with an easy glance, she doesn’t pull towards them but is simply content to walk nicely along my side. We’re told that she’s shy when she first meets new people but warms up quickly, plays both gently or roughly with people and other dogs, loves to sleep on the couch, tries to hide when it’s bath time, knows ‘sit’, ‘down’, ‘paw’ and ‘stay’, and her favorite games are fetch and catch. Off leash in a pen she explores a bit, and then comes over to put her paws in my lap and share a kiss, or two, or three with me…..She’s low key, gentle and sweet, and while a bit concerned and confused as to why she’s with us and not her people, is coping wonderfully. I left her in a pen to go photograph another dog, and when I returned she had been waiting patiently, watching the direction I left in, and wagging her tail at my return. Joining me on the bench for another cuddle fest, I promised her we’d find her a new home where the concept of ‘happily ever after’ is a real commitment. Calm, gentle and easy to be with; I felt like I had known her forever. Her intake notes mention how sweet and soft she is, and she even shook paw with the intake counselor! How sweet is that! She’s an awesome little girl who is hoping her new family is just around the corner. Are you?
