Hey RAGOM fans let me introduce to you miss Corvette.  She came into RAGOM's care with several other dogs from a breeder in ND.  Corvette has been in my home since Labor Day weekend.  She looks almost identical to miss Carrera.  Corvette is a petite young girl that is 2.5 years old and she is an English Creme Golden Retriever.  What I can tell you about this girl is that she is very shy and timid, like many former puppy mill dogs.  She follows the lead of my resident dogs, Indy and Lauren, and is slowly learning that this is really the good life now.  FD has been taking the full pack (all 4 dogs) for walks at night as much as we can.  Corvette is getting used to the Gentle Leader but the first 2-3 blocks she tries her hardest to wiggle out of it.  Once she realizes this isn't going to happen she falls in place and follows the other dogs.  When we encounter other walkers, dogs, bike riders, etc. Corvette becomes very nervous.  Sometimes we veer off of the trail and onto a lawn until the other party has passed.
 
Corvette needs to gain a lot more confidence.  When we walk her ears are all the way back and her tail is close to being tucked.  But with constant praise and assurance from FD that she is a good girl she will eventually become more relaxed and enjoy things even more.  Everyday things still startle her, such as the dishwasher running or even the toaster popping up the toast.  She does love her toast in the morning with peanut butter:)
 
Corvette is up to date on her vaccinations.  The big item remaining is to have her spayed.  FD is waiting for a confirmed appointment for this.  If you would like to meet her she plans on attending the big Goldzilla event with her pals, Indy and Lauren.  We may have to seek out a quiet spot if she becomes too overwhelmed with the crowd and noise.  Just look for this beauty with her red collar and gentle leader to fit her "Little Red Corvette" image.
 
XOXO
