My foster dad works from home so I like to lay in my bed and just hang out with him. When my foster mom works from home I am jockeying for position with my two foster brothers on the couch trying to sit close enough to touch her. I go outside with the others and do my business and love it when it's lunch time because we get treats. At night I help supervise dinner and then curl up on the couch when dinner is over. I have learned very quickly that begging at the table is not allowed!
I love everyone! I just want to say hello and get some pets. I am a little timid at first but once I am comfortable I give kisses and snuggles.
I am a little dog but I have a lot of energy on walks and have discovered playing catch with toys in the hallway. I have no problem snuggling up on the couch when the humans are sitting. I am learning how to walk on the leash and have already improved my manners in just a few days.
Everything is new and exciting but I am learning quickly! I love going for walks and in less than a week have learned to walk with the leash with another dog. I am learning how to wait on the corner. Going in the car is fine but I am really nervous at first but sit calmly in a lap. Because I am small I am easy to manage. I am 90% housebroken with no potty accidents in the house so far but I have pooped inside a few times. My foster mom thinks it's because I am getting used to my new healthy food and they need to get used to my schedule.
I am so little that bigger dogs are intimidating but I love everyone I have met so far. My foster brothers are older and kind of grumpy so they don't really play with me much but I wish they would. We are starting to play a little as long as we are supervised.
I have only been home without a human a few times for about an hour. I go in my crate and even though I don't love it, it works to keep me safe.
If you are looking for a sweet loving lap dog, I am your girl! I am learning quickly and am eager to please and be loved. I do not love my crate and only go in when placed there. I sleep in my own dog bed with my blanket and maybe a shoe or two, a sock, a slipper or glove that I stole from the closet. I don't chew them but I love to add them to my nest.
