Clients always ask me how I exercise my dogs. Especially in the winter. Regardless of the temperature, Kinzy goes running with me every day.
I met Ellie this past weekend when she came by to see if I could find someone interested in adopting her. She is a really nice dog and needs a dog savy owner and if there are other dogs in the house, they would need to be passive. Her foster mom is doing everything she can to find Ellie the right home because the foster's 2 dogs instigated a fight with Ellie and the chemistry in the house is not good. She is great with adults and her spanking puts a smile on your face when you meet her. If someone in the mid coast area adopts Ellie I will offer free lessons to get you off and running with her. All the issues the foster mentions are manageable with consistent training. Please contact me if you're interested and I will give you the foster mother's contact information. This is what her foster mom says about Ellie:
Ellie is 3-ish years old. Female, spayed. She does have some quirks related to getting in the car and veterinary restraint which doesn't result in some serious growling and snarling. Good bite inhibition though and we are working through it. She does have her hyper moments with zoomies and can get over stimulated and mouthy. Significant improvement though since we buckled down and started being more consistent with training.
No kid home. Has been good with a couple of old Boston terriers, an old Aussie, and 2 young labs. Fought with my guys, though they instigated. Has been around one dog savvy cat and loves him, but I do worry about some prey drive. Diagnosed with DCM (enlarged heart) in March and is on 2 cardiac medications (Vetmedin and Benazepril). Hopeful that is has resolved, but will need a cardiology follow up in a couple of months.
It's only Tuesday and this guy is exhausted. Three days of board and train left.
The two juveniles are trying to be quiet so they don't disturb their older sister.
