If you have not already noticed our lovely 2 tone fluffy girl Chikita, it's time you considered her today! Just 10mos old, arriving as a shy girl, while she still has some bashful moments, Chikita is doing terrific! She's open to all over body rubs and hugs and has done well in doggy play groups. Everyone reaches for our pretty lady knowing it's going to be a fine time, with such a lovely lady. Randomly, Chikita still has some awkward moments of uncertainty but she's all sugar and spice and everything nice. And yes, she will love you "bunches." LOL. Note: Shepherd Mix; 45lbs
Facebook update May 16: Our beautiful, most fluffy black and tan girl CHIKITA just checked into foster care and she is doing terrific. Her foster mom has been taking her out for lots of walks along the lake and boy does she love wading into the cool water! In addition, her foster mom gave her a bath, they had nap time together, a yummy cheese snack and time with new toys! Read her notes below then let us know how soon you'd like to meet her. Sounds pretty perfect!! Note: 11 mos old; 45lbs; Great in doggy play groups. Shepard Mix
I got Chikita yesterday and she has been absolutely amazing. I want to make sure she does not miss an opportunity to be adopted, it's very clear how special she is.
Here are some details I've noted from just the day and night with her:
Chikita (we call her Arya/Arry, like from Game of Thrones)
Day 1/Night 1:
· Absolutely loves the lake, bones, walks, naps, and quietly watching the birds outside
· A little nervous about bath time (mostly the sound of water hitting the tub; same with dishes) and sudden noises or movements, though she's already building confidence
· Took some coaxing with the indoor stairs at first, needed to be carried, then bravely tackled them on her own after breakfast
· Such a polite girl-doesn't get on furniture at all
· Hasn't barked or howled yet, though she did growl at the TV once when a villain from Game of Thrones appeared (very protective!)
· Did beautifully in her crate and didn't whine at all while drying from her bath
She went to sleep around 11 pm and slept peacefully on her bed all night with no accidents. I woke up to her playing with her toy, still curled up in her bed, and took her to the bathroom at 8:45 am.
