6/21/05 - Porche has been adopted by her foster family. Congratulations to all of you.
6/12/05 - Hey Everyone :o) We
wanted to share some really wonderful news with everyone that has "been
there" with us, "been there" for us... with this Lil' girl's journey
since being saved by "The Angels"....
My boyz and myself have decided....we want to adopt the Sweet Pecan Pie
for our Forever Girl! After "growing with" and witnessing the awesome
transformation in this girl in the 3 months that she has been here....we
decided we could never let her leave us. I am amazed and in awe of "who"
Miss Porche turned out to be in a short 3 months! She is definitely NOT
the dog that first walked into my house. In SO many ways. The "major
way" was her ability to give up on her aggression toward housemates,
yes, I keep it at housemates as she stills goes after the dogs in the
adjoining yard but...as I have learned with this very smart girl...all
behaviors that are not acceptable, she is willing to let go of.
I have said from the very beginning, once they learn that they are
loved, so many fantastic "doors" open. My Forever BAR baby Clinton
taught me that..love & respect brings out the beauty that God made them
and bottom line, that's all they ever really wanted from the very
beginning. I am very grateful that I agreed, altho' reluctantly because
Porche was HW positive (and I begged Gary to find someone else to foster
her as I had my heartache with Lil' Miss SweetPea & her HW treatment, I
did NOT want the emotional drain & pain of another HW positive baby) to
have Porche come stay with us. And, on top of that!! to know that
she had a severe aggression problem with other fur-kids. I wasn't fully
positive that I could deal with such aggression. I did not want to put
my Bogey thru that, he is too old.
I have learned so much from this lil' girly about love & trust. She was
so horrendously abused in her former life, she had nothing to lose as
far as she "knew" but she trusted again, she believed again. Porche
truly is sweet as Pecan Pie. Even her facial features..body language
have softened. She is a real sweet soul!
I thank all that have followed this Lil' girls' journey..I know a few of
you inquired about her. I know her "placement requirements" were her
biggest bain...as she is not friendly toward other types of fur-kids and
we may never be able to change that about her....but in light of all
that she has "become" I would be hard-pressed to give up the hope. I
never really gave up the hope....that this Lil' girl possessed more in
her soul than anybody knew...and all it takes.......is a little bit of
love.
Please don't give up on your search for your Forever Baby, they are
there....waiting...just have the patience to continue the search. I
would NEVER have guessed when she first came to our house........that
Porche would be "the one" for us. And...........we could never be
happier!
Thank you all & thank you BAR.......see.......ya never know what Fate
has in store for you.
6/9/05 - Porche is pending adoption
5/31/05 - Hello everyone...thank
you for peeking at the "Sweet Pecan Pie". "What a difference a day
makes...." I cannot tell you enough what a difference these last 3
months have made in this little girl's so very beautifully. Porche
has turned out to be "as sweet as pecan pie" as my son said over 2
months ago. Her face and demeanor have softened so very much over these
past 3 months, it's like, this is NOT the same baby that came to stay
with us 3 months ago! She is a "people" pupper now, now that she has had
the love, attention & affection that she so very much deserved, her own
love & devotion are shining through. I never really thought we would
ever see this girl allow for another fur-kid to be in her space in this
world. She proved us wrong.
As of this week, Porche is allowed to roam my house freely, she is
considerate of my Bogey, although she still must be watched. Porche
still has a food aggression thing going on, I am sure still has ALOT to
do with how her former owners mis-treated her. As well as her "need" to
have EVERY toy available by her.....she will focus on finding them all
and if need be.....lay on top of them, just so she has them.
Again..something I am sure, this sweet girl will overcome, in time.
Porche has "let go" of quite a few ugly things that she had learned to
"just survive" in her past life....she has climbed mountains when all
her sweet soul deserved was mole-hills. And, I am proud to say that she
learned her love from us, very grateful that we were here when "the
angels" found her for us.
Porche loves children to pieces....another fur-kid..you would have to be
sure there is a "match" there...but most of all.......she loves to be
loved and told what a beautiful girl God made her..she responds with
such sweet kisses & wiggles.....all she needs is to be loved.
Thank you for looking at our Lil' girl today..I hope that her love is
recognized as one that should not be missed out on!
5/22/05 - Hey everyone...I have THEE bestest news I could ever think I would be writing about the Pecan Pie!!! I knew there was hope..with a little bit of the proper loving...even miracles can happen :o} I agreed to take in another Foster, as there are so many waiting to come into BAR & not enough homes. As this "new" Foster wouldn't be around for long, I agreed to take him in. I did have many concerns with Miss Porche, as we all know her "history" with other fur-kids. And I was a bit nervous about what I was getting myself into considering her attitude. She took an "instant" interest in this new "crate next door" mate. Friday, I had her on her leash (attached to the couch) and I was holding onto the new Foster on his leash, she came up to him & immediately, hackles up, jumped on his head. So, I put him back into his crate. Saturday, same scenario, but this time I let the new Foster loose but of course with his leash attached. The first time she "grabbed" his back legs & tackled him to the floor...BOOM...he went down & took off running into the kitchen. He came back around, took his...c'mon let's play ..stanch and the 2 of them went like the dickens "play fighting" for the next 15 mins. I had the water bottle in my hand in case anything got too rough. The Sweet Pecan Pie LOVED LOVED playing with him. And she never once attempted to hurt him! I stood in awe and of course..a BIG OL' smile upon my face...little Miss Fur-ball killer actually was playing with another fur kid! This morning I let the 2 of them out in my backyard and they boxed and played and growled and jumped and ran, never leaving one another's side..for over a 1/2 hour! Say Amen and pass The Frontline! Today Porche showed exactly how love can change a soul. I am SO very proud of her! Porche has turned around tremendously, almost 360 in the 3 months that she has been here. She does what she is suppose to do when in the house..learned the house rules very quickly too. Her trying to engage your hands in a full Bozo frenzy...no more! All you have to do is say NO, no hands and she lies right down and gives kisses instead. Her ability to walk while on the leash and not drag your arm out of the socket is 95% better, she does still get excited & pull but a quick "heel" and she is back by your side. This girl is VERY obedient and she knows many commands and she performs them without hesitation. Yes, she of course will need further training with the wonderful family that comes along and says....Hey..this IS the girly for us! There won't be a disappointed soul in that family either as her heart is big enough for many. Porche especially LOVES children but even more than that..Porche LOVES TO BE LOVED and made to feel as special as she truly is! I am so happy to have been able to share this good news with you all today as this is a MONUMENTAL achievement for this girl. Thank you for coming to peek at this sweetie...she is waiting for her Forever family and she does know that "they" just haven't filled out their application yet. But she has the patience of a saint..so she will wait and say her puppy prayers.
5/11/05 - Hey everyone, sorry this
update is so dang late, I am in the Flower Industry & Mother's Day week
is a horror on us all. I am still not completely recovered
physically...anyway, it is time to update The Sweet Pecan Pie..
Porche is doing SO very well here in the house, she has her freedom to
roam about the house when my Bogey is outside (which is very often with
the weather being nice) Porche is VERY trustworthy in the house, she was
in here, lose, alone for hour & 1/2 today and not a thing out of place,
even the yucky garbage with chicken stuff in it that my son forgot to
take out to the trash. Porche has no accidents in the house either, she
lets you know if she needs a "extra" trip outside but she is also on a
"timed" routine..morning, afternoon & night. Porche has come a
LONG long way with her indoor behavior, as far as the "racing around
like a helium balloon that just had it's end untied" business. She still
LOVES to jump into the air, do a few 360's and take the "c'mon let's
play" stance. She is energetic and she is a load of laughs when she is
in that mood. Only difference now is...she stops in a MUCH more timelier
manner. Her rough
housing trying to get at your hand any chance you put it near her...I am
starting to get the understanding that that is how she was treated
before, she was being trained to be a roughian. All this, also, has all
but ceased. All I do now, is snap my fingers, point to the floor & tell
her, lay down.
And she obliges. Porche is realizing that she likes the being petted &
loved softly way of playing
much better!
She is a dear sweet soul that just longs to be found by her Forever
family. She longs for the day that she can be free to roam "her" home
freely, not be attached to leashes so I can be sure that my Fur-Kid
Bogey is safe. No...she still doesn't want any part of the Fur-Ball..she
still only knows " I want to be Queen Fur-Kid of the house" and it
doesn't mean she's a bad girl in any way. Just what she "grew-up"
knowing. Porche is a VERY quick learner too..so the possibilities are
endless with this Sweety.
Porche LOVES LOVES LOVES kids...sooo, anyone with a big heart and a few
kids "laying around" to play with & to cuddle when she is tired..step
right up and claim this beautiful Lil' Mama. She so very much deserves a
house of freedom for herself! Thank you for peeking at The Sweet Pecan
Pie!
4/26/05 - Hey Y'all!! It's
me..Porche..Girly Girl, Sweet Pecan Pie, yeah I answer to them all
'cause these people make my hinny wiggle REAL fast when they call me all
those other goofy names. They get so giggly when they talk to me. They
say I am really, really sweet and I am..I LOVE LOVE LOVE all human
peoples...I just don't like that big ol' fur-ball Bogey! Or, really any
other fur kid. I don't know why...guess I was really never taught how to
play nice with the other fur kids around me. I am knowing for sure tho'
being with this Foster family, it's really no fun that I have to stay on
a leash by myself when Bogey is in the house. I hear all the boyz
playing outside now and I REALLY , really want to be there with them. I
cry and I whine cause I want to have some fun with them outside. Mama
Lady says that this is Bogey's house, his yard, his boyz and I am a
guest here. Since I can't stop trying to attack Bogey, I can't go
outside and play with the posse. Mama Lady does get Bogey to give up the
yard every now and again & come in and rest and I get to go outside and
run around like a maniac!
I really am dreaming of having my own place, my own family...no other
fur kids so life isn't so sad and lonely for me anymore. Mama Lady comes
& sits with me and plays with me, but..no offense Mama Lady...it just
isn't the same as playing with the kids. I really want to be free to run
& run & run 'til I am too tired to run any more.
Mama Lady says I am a very good girl otherwise, she says I am a sweet,
sweet peach...with the skin folks. Mama Lady lets me run loose in the
house when Fur-ball is outside.I am doing so very well after my ugly
heart worm treatment, it was real rough those first few days
but I had the Mama and the boyz to help me feel more comfortable and
warm. You know, I think I am really starting to understand, that other
life that I was living...was NOT about love, it was about pain &
sadness. This Foster home and the people in it, they are teaching me,
being loved, cuddled, petted(gently), hugged and talked to like I really
am a good girl, is what my life was supposed to be about all along.I get
to sleep in the Mama Laldy's bed with her. I am a bit of a hog about it
but I just wanna be as close to the people as I can get, it is sooooo
warm & squishy! I cuddled right up to the Mama Lady last night, put my
head right in the nook of her arm, sighed a BIG OL' sigh and
smiled...this is really living and I like this a whole bunch!
Is there anyone that has had a peek at me on this "puter thingy that has
a home where I can shine as the lovey that I am? The girly that just
wants to see your face smile at me and run to give me hugs &
snuggles...The Mama Lady says these prayer things every night when we go
to bed and she seems to be happier after she says them. I think I am
going to pay attention to how she does those..and I can start saying
some so I can be ALL the way happy...with the family that choses me for
me!
Well, thanx for stopping by to peek at how I am doing , I'll be seeing
you in my dreams, the ones I have every night of being with my Forever
Family...Love, Porche
4/14/05 - Hey there everyone! Time to update the "Sweet Pecan Pie". She wiggles and bounces SO much when my son calls her this, very cute to see! Miss Porche, Miss Porche...she is a very beautiful, sweet, obedient, friendly to ALL humans, snuggle bug (when you get her to calm down), intelligent, happy sort of a soul! Porche still has a lot to learn or maybe rather, unlearn from her past. As we had a bit of "history" on her from the Shelter she came from, rather generalized but helpful in knowing how she "lived" before, she basically was left tied outside and ignored ( & it seems abused & tormented. I will elaborate in a little bit) Porche doesn't possess "inside" behavior skills, acceptable, playing with the humans skills..she starts out lovely, then it turns VERY loud & vocal and growly (nothing to be alarmed with, just how she learned to interact with humans) it turns into a very rough & tumble play IMMEDIATELY..sounds horrible too, as I have said before. I am afraid that those not used to Boxer vocalness during play would "run for the hills" in fear that she was about to rip you to shreds. BUT..as I have also said...not a tooth comes into contact with your flesh EVER, I am realizing that this must be the way she was "handled" in her other life. In the last 2 weeks, I must say, she has gotten SO very good at calming down and not going for your hands so much faster than before. I can get her to lie down by my side and "accept" calm pets and not go berserk trying to get at my hands. A BIG milestone for this girl, to say the least! I am VERY proud of her. I just get the feeling that she has never known anything other than being treated roughly. Porche is a real sweet natured girl ( I know it doesn't sound possible after you have just read what I wrote) but I always make time to spend one on one time with her. She is a love. She really just wants to please, she just needs to be taught that it isn't necessary to be on the "defensive" all the time, that she can relax and be assured that all we are going to give her is gentle love. And, ya know..I think the girly has come to realize that these past 2 weeks. She now "exposes" her belly for me to rub, as before, she just wanted to be sure that she "had" your hands and knew where they were. Porche now responds in a more timely manner when told...NO...lay down here. Porche is also learning VERY quickly how to walk on a leash, she tried her darndest in the first 2 weeks to see if she could rip my arms out of their sockets, anytime I put the leash on her. I have been working on this and I am happy to say, tonight we made it into the kitchen, to the back door and never once did she even tug :o}..still needs a bit more work until it is as natural as taking a breath, but, I am VERY impressed that she learned this so quickly too! Porche, it appears, has had a pretty hard struggle in her short life. Her mannerisms and behavior only "speak of" abuse and neglect, she really HAS not known what it is to be loved like the beautiful soul that she is. I recently discovered, during some quiet time with just her & I, that it appears that her previous owner "branded" her ears with initials. It appears that they were burnt into her ears with perhaps a cigarette, there is an initial on each ear followed by a "period" after each letter. Lawdhavemercy that this little girl endured all that. I now have a "new" respect & understanding of this Pecan Pie...for all that she went thru, she has a VERY big heart...well...um, as of now (cause I always believe love will change us all) not for other fur kids but for ALL humans and she so deserves to know that abuse, neglect and mere disregard.. is NOT what was intended for her in this life She believed in the angels and they have come to show her that love & respect is what she deserves. Please...if Porche fits into your life, being the only Fur Kid there, for now.. and if she "sneaks" into your heart as she has mine (she amazes me with the resilience that lives inside of her heart) please consider this deserving Lil' girl for your own "Sweet Pecan Pie". Thank you for taking the time to peek at this Lil' Girly..thank you for everyone's good wishes & prayers during her Heart Worm treatment period..as of tomorrow...she has reached her "4 week" mark, which means that Porche has made it thru her HW treatment and is ready to be adopted!
4/4/05 - Hey there..time to update
this Lil' Porche girl. It has been a little over 2 weeks since this girl
received her Heart Worm treatment..and I am here to tell you...you'd BE
HARD PRESSED to even know that she had the treatment done! This girl is
a fiesty, stoic, strong ball o' fire! She doesn't want to hear one bit
about her needing to stay quiet, still, resting..no way..no how! I
honestly
have been very concerned about the possibity of her having an embolism,
as her activity level is NOT one to be stopped or quelched! I am still
keeping her crated for the better part of a day. I let her out of the
crate but she is attached to a leash that is attached to my couch, so
she can go up on the couch & she can go as far as the leash will allow.
She wants to play, she wants to run, she wants to jump, she wants to
rough-house..and let me tell you!! this girly can rough house! She LOVES
to play! She certainly is NOT a Lady when she is wanting to play. Porche
is a VERY vocal girl and as I have mentioned before, it sounds SO very
serious when it is coming out of her BUT, it her way of playing! She is
a definate "Tom boy"...forget
about prissy Missy stuff for this one..she'd rather be the rough &
tumble one.Porche grabs at your hands to start the play, then she goes
"haywire" trying to grab your fingers, your hand, your wrist.......'cept
with all the noise & action coming from her...she NEVER actually grabs
any part of you with her teeth! It really sounds so much more worse, as
the sounds coming from her make it as if she could tear you to shreds at
any given second...but yet..her teeth never make contact with any part
of you!
Porche does need some more "work" with being a bit gentler. She doesn't
want to stop the play once it has started. She does "box" with her front
legs during all this so you are bound to get a "paw smack" here or there
when she is playing with you.
Porche still shows no interest in getting along with my Forever Boy
Bogey...even as of tonight. She still takes the "c'mon, ya wanna go for
it??" stance & her hackles raise right up. I keep telling her, if you
want to experince more freedom here in the house & with the family..(and
she does cry to be with my boyz)..you have to be nice to Mr. Bogey,
afterall, it is HIS home & he is allowing you to stay here...I keep
believing..with a little bit of love, this all will change too :o}
Porche is VERY obedient and has, obviously had some "devoted" training,
as she knows sit, stay(very good at this!) lay down. She really has alot
of obedience manners going for her. Porche just needs some help in the
"inside the house" manners, meaning, "running around like a just
released helium balloon" ummm usually, doesn't work for most human
folks! Porche seems very eager to learn, so as long as, in my opinion,
she is the only fur-kid and obedience training is completed with this
Lil' girl...she is going to be a beautiful addition to her Forever
Family..is that family..perhaps?? you? Porche has such warmth & pure
Boxer personality to share with the right one or ..ones.....as she LOVES
kids!
Until the next time..thank you for peeking at this sweet "pecan pie" (as
my son calls her ..lol) and thank you everyone for your prayers &
thoughts during her HeartWorm recovery.
3/27/05 - Hello everyone & Happy Easter! Porche has been with us for 2 weeks now. She is a good girl. She, of course, has not been able to be "let loose", not only because of her needing to be "kept quiet" for her Heart Worm treatment but also because she is not so friendly....yet.. to my Bogey. Altho' I keep her on the leash & try to avoid any moments of potential confrontation, my Bogey has been "especially" curious about this girl..so he has brought himself within very close perimeters of her. Her hackles go right up, she takes the "stance" but...she has allowed nose to nose without "striking out" but, her hackles are still raised & she is in a "ready to go for it stance". So, of course, I am still very cautious with this. As soon as the back yard neighbors dogs bark..she is ready to go for it. Porche is very, very good with the human folks. She does seem to show apprehension with the male folk, but nothing that is of a "serious" nature, perhaps just precaution on her side considering the past life that she lived. Porche is a real good girl in every aspect, unfortunately, right now, she doesn't know that being kind to other fur-kids would be a "plus" for her...that she would then have someone to cuddle with, play with when her "skin people" were not available. I have a good feeling, that in time..this little girl will realize the positives of this. We will keep you updated on her progress......health wise & personality wise...thank you for keeping her in your thoughts & prayers.
3/21/05 - Hello everyone..time for
a Miss Porche update. Unfortunately, Porche tested positive on her Heart
Worm test. Her first injection was 3/18, second on 3/19. Gary took her
for her injections and I met up with him on Sat. morning to bring her
back here to Mama Lady's for her recuperation period. Aside from the
Heart Worm . Porche's general health is good.
Even though this is a very ROUGH treatment for these babies to have to
go thru, Porche is such a Champ! You can clearly see discomfort in her
eyes but she is unrelenting. I am very amazed at her strong resilience.
She doesn't want to lie down, she wants to "keep on". I am rather
surprised at her physcial abilities in light of her HW treatments, as I
experienced with another Foster, a totally different "physcial
ability"...the Lil' one could barely bring herself off the couch for
almost a week! NOT Miss Porche, ever alert and not wanting to miss a
thing.
She does go into the crate very well tho'..and as much as she seems sad
to be in there, I keep reminding her, in a couple of weeks..this will
all be but a memory. Until then, we have to do what it takes to ensure
her chances of making it through these next couple of weeks.
Porche is a very loving girl...to all people, she just is not happy with
the other fur kids that she has to share the world with. It is very
plain at this point, she has shown a few times now, she needs to be the
only animal in the household. Porche would also do very well with
Obedience Training, as she is not "familiar" with living in the house.
This is not to say that she has shown any sort of destructiveness, she
is just oblivious to the fact that there is "outside activity" & there
is "inside activity" that is acceptable.
Please, keep the prayers coming her way for a complete & "easy"
recovery. She is definitely a very deserving girl with a heart as big as
Texas..well...as long as it's human folks looking for that heart. But,
then again, as we have all learned, a time or two..it ain't over until
it's over..her aggression toward other animals might just very well
change. I have seen it happen with other Fosters & even with my own
dear, sweet soul, Clinton. When he knew that there was plenty o' love to
go around, his aggression toward my Bogey ...was something he no longer
"felt" necessary. And, we all know how that beautiful story went.
Keep peeking at this little girl, keeping her in your thoughts and thank
you for taking the time to see how she is doing! ~~ Til' next time...
3/17/05 - Porche has been with us
for 4 days now. She is a quiet sort of a dog, for the most part. When
she wants to play and is in play-mode, she can be a very vocal girl. Her
"playing" personality is "rough & tumble", she gets very growly when she
is playing. She growls & snarls when she is playing with you. She took
me by surprise when I first heard it coming from her, I stopped to look
at her "body language" to be sure that this was indeed play. And it
is..she just happens to be of the opinion of "let it all lose baa aa
by!"
Porche is VERY good in the house, with us around. As it is too soon to
try the "let's see how trustable you are alone". Her idea of what is
"acceptable" in the house, as far as going "Boxer crazy" needs a little
work. When I came home from work 2 nights ago, she was loose in the
house as my son lets her out when he gets home from school & Bogey was
outside....she went energy level NUTS. She did LAPS around my dining
room table and then proceeded throughout the rest of the house at WARP
SPEED! Porche didn't relent with my several.. "OK, that's enough
girl...calm down" so she had to go back to her crate to get herself
composed. And, Porche is VERY good at going into the crate. Lead her to
it, she goes in, no problems. We are also working on her "need to pull"
when she is on the leash & you are attempting to walk her. In 2 short
days tho', she has gotten FAR better at heel. Porche, as it is now..is
not good with other dogs. She "waits" for any opportunity to get at my
Bogey. She has also aggressively "hammered" my side fence when she
discovered my neighbors dogs on the other side. She jumps at the
fencing, barks very nastily and tries to provoke the dogs on the other
side..so we will
see where this leads.
Tomorrow, she is going to the Vet's to have her Heart Worm test done and
for a general check up.
Her history of neglect of course has alot to do with some of the issues
we are addressing here at Mama Lady's Boxer Retreat...but...bottom
line..she really does seem to want to only please those that are
treating her with love. After having read her "history", this girl
deserves to find a lifetime of love & tenderness. To feel like she is
worthy of a human's respect and unconditonal love.Keep peeking at this
lovey's site..as I know..she is going to make that special someone very,
very happy.
3/14/05 - Porche arrived here at
The Mama Lady's Boxer Retreat Sunday 3/13, late afternoon. She had a
very long trip in from New Jersey. But, thankfully, her transport was
finally arranged after a few "interferences" (ie, weather, logistics,
etc.). Porche is a very alert, happy girl. She has alot of kisses &
snuffling to give to whomever is near her at the moment. She does seem
to be a bit on the nervous side but that is expected, after all this
little girl has gone through in the past few months. Originally in a
shelter awaiting another rescue that did not have any available foster
homes, we contacted that rescue and offered her an opening in one of our
foster homes. So BAR was able to step in & help her.
Porche is a very loving girl, cuddly & kissy. She is very good with my 2
boyz, ages 12 & almost 9. She is very good in the house so far. The only
issue facing us at this very moment is her aggression toward my Forever
Boy, Bogey. From the moment she set eyes on him there has been growling
& showing of the teeth. We have been keeping her crated for her safety &
for my Bogey. She will have to prove herself 100% in this matter as the
"word" that came from the shelter she was in was....she does not get
along with other dogs.
I have a feeling tho'...deep down inside...it is just a reaction to all
that she has been through in this life of hers. I really do get the
feeling that this is NOT who Porche is. Time will tell and we will
surely keep you updated on her progress. We have found from past
Fosters...sometimes...all they need to do is get some of that loving
they so long for and it helps them to shine as the true loving babies
that they are meant to be.
We will keep posting. Please, keep a "good word" for this sweet lil'
girl who will be going to vet very soon to be all checked out.
From Porche's Transporters:
Kathy: I am so glad Porche is safe and sound with you...I had the
pleasure of being the one to pick her up from the kennel today and do
the first leg of the transport. She was very sweet and very curious. She
did not actually sit down until at least 45 minutes into our journey.
She did drink the whole bottle of spring water I brought for her, and
ate 5 biscuits too. She could sure use the extra yummies, as she looked
pretty thin. Happily, halfway through our trip, she was leaning over
giving me little tentative kisses. She's such a cutie pie. The woman at
the kennel did not give me any information except that Porche does NOT
like other dogs. Otherwise, she seemed super sweet and was oh-so
adorable.
