Lady

Profile

June 7, 2012

Hi, my name is Lady, but FM calls me Lucky Lady, cuz she said I'm so lucky to be in RAGOM. I used to live in WI, so if you are a Vikings fan don't hold that against me. I'm 2 years old this month, I weigh 51 lbs, I have fur that really isn't a doodle or a golden. It's not curly, but a little longer and wavy and is a beautiful red color. FM says if she could be a red head this is the color she would choose. I have a feeling back in the day she might actually have been this color....if ya know what I mean:) Moving on.........

I LOVE LOVE LOVE CHILDREN, and met a 3 and 6 year old on Sunday and was very gentle and allowed them to pet me, walk me around and love me up. I walk, well prance actually, on a flat leash, love to run like the wind, will chase a tennis ball and maybe not bring it back to you:)

I love little girls

I think I love you

I was free fed so am learning to eat twice a day, I have NOT had any accidents in the house, I sleep in my kennel when the fosters are gone and at night. The last couple nights I have 'voiced' my displeasure with this arrangement at night, but alas no one acknowledged it. I object to this outrageous arrangement and feel sleeping on the bed by FM or FD's side would be much more agree able!! I was not pleased with Miss Faith's (12-075) childish nippy greetings and begging for play when I first arrived. I was a lady ( lady/Lady, get it:) though and gave appropriate warning growls. After a couple days I just gave up and put up with her and she is being more respectful. I like resident Jax and foster bro Laker 12-200 just fine, but would prefer to sit in the recliner with FM or FD. Again, they aren't cooperating on this idea. I met a female lab on my walk with Laker and did very well.

So, I have been brought up to date with all my shots, and while being checked out we discovered a coupled things we are taking care of.

1. I have whip and hook worms. I just started my treatment for 3 days, then it will be repeated in 3 weeks then 3 months. Meanwhile the Foster 'rents have to be very vigilent about keeping the yard cleaned up, if you get my drift.
2. I have a yeast infection in both ears so FM cleaned my ears and I get drops in them both 2 times a day. I come when called and sit nicely while she does this.
3. I have some allergy issue at the moment. I started to chew at my feed and my well, my butt. I have a bit of yeast and bacterial infection in the 'rear end' area. So now I will have a feet/butt bath once a day with a special shampoo and a different conditioner every other day. Aah they also did my anal glands and they were quite full, which then required a butt bath:(
4. I just started on a grain free food, which often, in time, takes care of allergy problems. I'm not losing hair so that is good. Hopefully, within a week we will see an improvement.

Well, there you are. I hope no one is scared off cuz of the worm and allergy thing going on. It's not bad enough to require pills or shots, so that's good!! I would love to go to a home with children. My recall is quite good, so with supervision I wouldn't need a fenced yard, just continued training and praise on my recall. I could live with another dog that wasn't an in your face kinda dog, or I think I would be happy to just have all the adoration to myself. I would like to be around other dogs to socialize and I don't want to be crated for 8+ hours a day. I do require exercise, so please keep that in mind.

I hope you come back to check on my progress and that I will be able to report that I now am sleeping in the bedroom and maybe even have free roam. That might take a bit longer since I did steal one of FM's socks off the night stand........which is a dumb place to keep your 'sleep socks'. Really, I have some re-training to do around here.

If you are an approved applicant and think I might be a good family member, please contact your placement advisor.

Stay tuned for more updates on how the FOSTER training is going!!
