Miss Georgia Brown as I call her, has been with our family in South Minneapolis for four days now. She is a sweet, funny, and a little bossy, lady. She was a stray from Springfield, MO and is estimated to be about 7 yrs. old.

She loves going for walks and car rides and is completely potty-trained. She loves being outside and still has a bit of puppy in her as she will try to chase squirrels and birds. Her personality has continued to come out slowly and she now rolls around on the carpet on her back and barks just once, before she lays down. I have never seen her on the couch but her fur mysteriously appears on it after being away from the house.

She was thought to have a not-so-nice last home so, we went very slow with her with our movements and hands. She now completely trusts us and loves to have her chest scratched, be brushed and get massages, especially on her senior hips. She even lets me touch her paws and is starting to let me touch her belly. She is no longer jumpy and jerky when we move our hands around her head. She is pretty easy to read and will let me know when she's bored and it's time for a walk, or go roam around the yard, if she's hungry or needs to go potty. She likes to have me within sight but is not the typical Golden-leaner or cuddler.

She has been left alone for 6 hours at the longest and did great. She did not damage or chew anything and was not even confined. She did not bark when we had someone come to the door. She takes treats very gently, and eats her meals out of my hand.

Georgia will need a fence as she tried to jump our 3-ft. fence. She also does not like cats or other dogs and would do best as the only resident. She's an older gal who wants her space. She does growl at my resident 12-yr-old dog and barks at the cat. She has made a huge improvement as she is now allowed off-leash in the house and the animals have apparently come to a mutual agreement to completely avoid each other.

There are 5 kids next door under the age of 12 and she ignores their ear-piercing screams and just avoids them. She also ignores the two yappy ankle-biters next door even though they harass her through the chain-link fence.

Georgia may have Cushing's Disease but, we are working on getting her an ultrasound to confirm/deny this. Other than that her first vet visit went well. She is a funny, sassy girl, who would make someone incredibly happy.

Thanks,
Christine, Robert, Mabel, Chester and of course, Mz. Georgia Brown
