This sweet girl needs a home! Please help!!

[Rosey]

I have her! She's all cleaned up and looks so much better!!!! I'll go take a few pics later. My dogs are gone right now and I am letting her scope the house and then we'll do intros and take it from there. They all have spent time with each others scents so hopefully it will help.

I have to say that it's refreshing to have a dog that knows what playing fetch means! LOL. She doesn't know how to sit or lay down by name but she does do it a lot. Like when I threw the ball, I waited for her to calm down and she would sit. If I call her over, she comes and sits.

She's eating a bone right now and doesn't mind if I take it from her. She just sits until I give it back to her. So my first impressions are that she's going to make someone an awesome dog. I did a 5 minute training thing and she caught on real quick on sit and lay down. I think training her is going to be a breeze. I am totally in love!

Are you sure you can part with her? I've been watching this and it's a great thing you're doing! I wish I weren't so far away. I don't know how my little aussie would take to her. Good luck and let me know if anyone in NC wants her. She looks like a great dog!

 

[Sunkawakan]

yeah, somethin tells me she's not going anywhere. You're in love, admit it. And you're stuck, admit it. Your hubby can just get used to the idea.

 

[Rosey]

tamarajane, I would but my husband won't let me although I think he's smitten. I need to check the city ordinance. I know we are over cats + dogs but who notices indoor cats? I need to see about adult dogs, it's either 2 or 3.

Can you see this? http://www.facebook.com/search/?o=2048& ... 452&ref=mf

She has brown spots in her fur and spots on her skin. She has an extra digit!



If you can't, here are pics: (i hope you can see them)

 

[Sunkawakan]

She obviously loves you... I'm just sayin.

 

[Rosey]

Yeah, she puts her ears back when I talk to her like my other dog and I bought this book that explains body language and that's a submissive thing.

She seems a tad skiddish with men but nothing bad, just a little cautious.

She is pretty. You can't keep them all though, you have to free up space for the next one that needs fostering. I do understand that. Just play it by ear & it will work out.

 

[Rosey]

Yeah i do. Unfortunately, usually i can't foster long term because of space issues and I've kept a few dogs overnight after a neuter/spay before going back to the shelter or before a transport.

Well the limit is 3 btw. LOL

Everything went great tonight! She met mine separately and they each played with her a while. We had a snafu at dinner but nothing major. She was impatient and i think because she wasn't fed much she wanted to make sure she was at the front of the line (well what they thought was a line). No big. I'll just seperate her before even dishing out the food.

She's already learned sit!!!! She didn't know it when I picked her up. I did 5 minutes training with her to see if she would react with to treats and she knows sit.

I have a video i need to upload and it's the funniest thing, you'll see!

 

[krissy]

she is so pretty! i can't afford another dog right now, but if i could i would take her! she is gorgeous!

That is a beautiful looking dog,she has a lovely little face .Don't think l could part with her.

 

[Rosey]

she has a LOT of energy, I will say that! You talk about a bouncy puppy, she's one!

She's doing well with the training. I think she should go to a family with kids.

 

[dagmar88]

I really enjoyed that a lot
You really have to get used to pitties and dogs alike playing, don't you; they are so rough!
First time we let Charlie play with another stafford we didn't know what to think
How come Teagan has a 'funny' tail; birth defect or something?

 

[Rosey]

Yeah it's a birth defect. He has a backwards 7. The ladies at daycare rub it for good luck before going to the casino. LOL
His ears are small too, not cropped like some people think. They look a little thick because he had fluid buildup on the cartilage but thankfully it went down by itself without surgery.

I have 2 more if you want, I'll post them. Teegan is increasingly getting frustrated with her. I think they'll figure it out. Phoebe and Snow play really well together.

 

[pops1]

Thankyou for the video Rosey,Snow seemed to be having a great time with your dogs.

 

[pops1]

Any updates Rosey????

 

[Rosey]

Hey! Nope!

She's still with me. I just finished my finals so I'll be able to train her more. She's learning every day what it means to be an indoor dog. She still jumps a lot but let me tell you, when you look down and she's looking up at you with that smile, it just melts my heart.

She walks on the leash great, doesn't hardly pull and when she does it's not even hard at all. She would be great for someone who runs or cycles or roller blades. She can just go and go.

She's very smart too. We just taught her today that my bedroom was a no no and we had to throw her out twice and she got it. She is very very smart and I don't think it will take much to teach her basic commands.

She just needs impulse control with her jumping. lol

She also had a tapeworm that I'm waiting for her to poop out. I'm super curious to see how big this thing is (geek). And she still needs to be spayed.

Other than that, she's a sweetheart!
