Profile


Today is Tuesday, January 22, 2008 and a very wintry day out. We brought Taffy 08-042 home this afternoon on a temp basis and to get her in from the COLD. She is such a doll! I am SO GLAD she will not have to stay outside anymore.

This is a very young lady…almost a year old now. She is small, I would guess maybe 46# or so. She has a docked tail due to an infection as a puppy so she has a unique look! Beautiful red coat. The whitest teeth I have ever seen! She is so soft too. Taffy has a “well visit” tomorrow and get herself chipped also. So I will have more medical information at that time but she is basically UTD and spayed.

We are taking our time, trying to get used to the inside of the house. Upon arrival, Taffy met the crew in the back yard, we barked/grumped/stared and everyone is fine. (However, my crew is more on the senior end.) This girl would love to play…butt up in the air and everything! She is a doll. She is learning and listening to all the new sounds in a house. (She has been in one before…but I am not sure for how long, while the surrendering owner went on a trip a friend who has her brother "doggie sat." ) She had NO IDEA what to do when the TV was turned on! What a hoot! Could not figure out where these “voices” were coming from!

She is not hyper but interested in the sounds in the home, walking around, sniffing, not having much of an idea what is what around here—just a waggin’ that little stump of hers (sure does give her character!). Add 2 seniors and a middle-ager…She is doing very good. She has been offered bones, and already has chewed on them (nyla); she is very, very nice and friendly….she is checking things out however, staying by me. She definitely listens and knows her name.

She is off leash now inside while she takes a snoop around here…it is so cute to watch! She seems to listen good for a pup. She knows the basics…She is not sure what to do with food in a dog dish, but small amounts hand fed, she will eat it. At the suggestion of the surrendering owner----I have brought in my large doggie crate for when I do go to work tomorrow. I am sure as pups go, she will eat inappropriate things…all in safety. She has been crated before so we will try and see how that goes.

My kitties are not real thrilled yet! They are scattered and out of sight! Taffy has not even noticed… It has been a LONG time since a pup in our home…but in my opinion, one SMART girl. So sweet, a total beauty and I am SO glad INTO Ragom!! This is ONE SUPER GOLDEN GIRL who needs a home who will work with her, love her, train her and yes, watch that little stub of her go off!!! What a great lover girl…..This girl needs a family and lots of TLC and attention!

I have to thank a friend who noticed this dog was for FREE on ads on a tv network and referring this to me! SA my hat is BIG TIME off to you for helping rescue this girl and getting her into Ragom!!!
