Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hello People.
I’m Gracie, an adorable year-and-a-half-year old Bichon girl. I love people, especially women, and gentle children. In fact I really like to engage with people. Dad says I like the attention and am a very social little girl. Want to go for a ride or a walk? I’m your girl. Just say the word and let’s go!
Because I was not socialized with other dogs (until I became a fur kid) I am pretty timid around them. I have been going to the dog park and I love to watch them play, but I don’t quite interact - yet. I am learning from the other dogs, however. Now when we get home, I feel quite energized and I jump into a play session with my toys. I like to play fetch - just me and Dad! I don’t quite understand the concept of playing with other dogs yet, but Dad thinks I will soon. I have to admit, I do like my big foster doggy sister – she has been teaching me a lot and helping me to gain confidence in myself.
My favorite toy is Loofah dog. I like to chew on him a lot -- but I am very good about not chewing on other things. Dad says I like to lie on the floor like a little bear rug, with my legs extended behind me and my little belly hugging the cool floor. He says I look like a bichon imitating a polar bear. (I don’t know what that means but it makes Dad laugh so I know that’s good!)
Dad says that with patience I will eventually come out of my shell, but will probably always be a bit shy around other dogs. I am housebroken (of course!) very healthy and loving.
If you would like a quiet, shy, loving little girl who would spend her life trying to make you happy, then I would be perfect for you.
