My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

TRUST  a : assured reliance on the character, ability, strength, or truth of someone or something.
b : one in which confidence is placed. Goodness, this is a tough word for me. I mean, I understand the definition, I just can’t quite execute it. I’d love to find someone I can trust…maybe someone like you? I could be the furry companion that you cherish, the one that will always be by your side. Truthfulness and loyalty are the qualities I possess: I don’t hesitate to tell you how I feel, and once I find someone I can rely on, I’ll be their best friend for life. If we are being open and honest with each other, and I’d like us to be, then I will tell you I can be a bit touchy when it comes to grabby hands. I don’t like surprises or being jostled around, so respectful children 12+ are more my speed, which I prefer to keep slow and steady with occasional walks around the neighborhood… I am, shall we say, a refined female. I am house trained and crate trained, I get along with other dogs well but am not open to the idea of living with cats. So what do you think? Can you help me understand the meaning of Trust? 8 years old-36lbs.
