226-22 If I don’t say so myself, I am one of the sweetest dogs you will ever meet! Really! I like all people and all dogs and probably would be fine with other animals and even kids.
You probably would like a better picture of my face so that you could see my eyes? Well that would be a problem because my left eye had to be removed and my right is a micro eye — it never grew to be a normal eye before I was born. I don’t mind. I probably haven’t been able to see for a long time and while I am hesitant about walking around, I do learn pretty quickly the layout of a place. I figured out how to go outside to potty in my foster home in less than 2 days. (It took me a little longer to learn how to get back in the house on my own but did finally figure it out.)
There is a BIG yard at my foster home so sometimes I get a little lost but I know my name and if you call to me and encourage me, I mostly can follow your voice.
Walking on a leash is not something I am good at. If I am wearing a harness, I can be persuaded to walk a little ways but most of the time, I just get picked up because I walk really really slow.
I like to sleep in a doggie bed at night. I haven’t wanted to sleep on the human bed maybe because it feels strange to me. I lived most of my life in an outside kennel. While the other dogs sort of “taught” me how to go outside, I don’t care to learn about getting on furniture.
Since I am a senior, I am not real active and do spend a lot of time laying around. But the good part about this is that I never chew on anything or get into things that I am not supposed to.
Don’t I sound like an easy dog? I assure you that I am as long as you give me time at first to learn your house!
