My Story
07/05/24 23:11 DOG DAY OUT REPORT FROM LAST WEEK: Today I: Got to go on a long walk with a new friend! I needed a little help getting in the car, but I loved the ride and watching my friends in the front seat. We went to the park where we saw lots of people and animals dogs, geese, squirrels, rabbits. They were cool, but I was way more excited for my walk. I relaxed in the shade for a bit when I needed a break, but I kept going because it was so fun. Three Words to Describe Me are: Sweet, Well-mannered, Curious Notes from My Walker: Missy is so well-behaved on walks. She showed no reactivity to people, other dogs, geese and squirrels. She was intrigued by the rabbits, but thats understandable. Shes a great friend if you fall behind on your walk, shell check in on you. She was comfortable in the car, although she was a little excited at first. With a little more training, Missy would be a great hiking partner. She also loves pets and snuggles and has the softest ears. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Missy is such a gorgeous, sweet girl! She can be barky in her kennel, but dont let that deter you! Come meet her outside her kennel! Outside of her kennel, she is a sweetheart who doesnt bark. Shes affectionate and absolutely loves a good sniffy walk and checking out all the smells. She has a sensitive neck for leashes so we recommend a harness for her. She walks nicely on a harness and enjoys a leisurely pace. Missy is sensitive to loud noises and would love a quiet home. Shes dog friendly and participates in doggie playgroups. Come meet Missy! 05/10/24 08:16 DOG DAY OUT REPORT WEEK OF 5/10/24 Today I: Got to go for a looong hike and see so many new things! First, I met two new friends and they took me for a car ride I LOVE car rides! Except they had to remind me to stay in the back seat where I am safest, but thats ok, I got a cookie! On my walk I saw people, dogs, and bikes and they dont bother me at all. But then we saw so many geese and ducks! And they looked FUN, but my humans put some space between me and the geese, but thats ok, again, cookies! Walking on a trail is so nice, I checked in with my friends, and I asked for cookies, and I learned a new game touch! When I touch my nose to my friends hand, I get a cookie! Thats a great game! Three Words to Describe Me are: Joyful Energetic - Affectionate Notes from My Walker: Missy is a sweet, affectionate girl! She did great on the trail and had no problems at all when we encountered people, bikes or dogs. We hiked about 5 miles on Coyote Creek Trail and around Hellyer Lake. We did learn that the Geese are prolific right now, so for all of our safety we gave the geese a wide berth. The geese and ducks were the only critters Missy had trouble ignoring but who can blame her, they are interesting! She checks in well on leash, and has moments of pure joy that require a leap into the air it is so cute! She does need to practice her impulse control, because she can get a little over enthusiastic, but she quickly calms down and is ready to continue the walk. She did great in the car, but needs a little encouragement to stay in the back seat, which just takes some practice. Missy would be a fun, happy addition to any active family home who is willing to put in a little time and support for ongoing training and impulse control efforts. That effort will be paid back a hundredfold in kisses.
