I'm a diva. THERE! I SAID it!! And I'm proud of it! And I will LET you KNOW it! AND I will NOT STOP NAGGING you until I get what I WANT!! And I MEAN IT!! (My foster mom used to squirt water at me to "bring me out of it", as she puts it, but now she just shows me the bottle, and I stop.)
She squirted WATER at me!! Like I'm a CAT!! There's a few of those here. I've let them know how I feel about THEM! Stupid things.
When I got here, boy, I was MAD!!! For a whole WEEK I was mad! So mad that my foster mom gave me my OWN bedroom, with a screen door on it so I could get use to the other critters. Every time she came near me, I'd try to chew off her TOES!! She had to keep a leash on me so she could get me outside. And she had to pick it up QUICKLY, because I'd try to BITE her. But she's really kind. And I was getting lonely, so I asked her politely if I could come out of my room and have her hold me. And, of course, she said yes (but she was a bit scared). She still kept my leash on me, just in case, but one morning she took a chance and QUICKLY unbuckled it. And I didn't try to bite her.
I'm from Florida. Oh, FLORIDA!! Where it's ALWAYS warm...and sunny...not like Michigan, where it's been cold and grey and rainy. I had a great life with my mom in Florida, but she died, so I went to live with her granddaughter here in Michigan. But she couldn't give me the life she felt I deserved, so she was brave and gave me to PAAW so I could find another home. And I was SO MAD!!!
It's nice here at my foster home. I made some friends (but there's another girl dog here that I don't like, so I start fights with her). AND...I have a boyfriend! ooOOoo!! He's a Yorkie. Like me. I still have my own bedroom . (Sometimes he comes in my bedroom with me, hee hee hee.) My foster mom tried moving my crate and my soft bed (it's my very own, the one I had when I moved here) out of the bedroom, but I didn't like it. So she moved me back into the bedroom. When I want to go there, I ask her politely (I can be NICE when I want to), and she lets me in. Sometimes I go in because I'm tired. Sometimes because I want to be alone. And sometimes because I'm in a BAD MOOD. And then I SULK! With my BACK to the DOOR! Sometimes when I'm in a bad mood, she sings my name to me over and over. And it calms me.
I'm 10 years old. I don't know my birthdate. I've had babies (cuz I've got boobies!). I got spayed on Friday (May 5). They looked at my teeth when I was sleeping and said that I need dental work done. They also said that I have a mammary mass, so I guess I'm going to have another vet visit.
I have this habit of having little puddles of pee come out of me. My foster mom thinks I don't always have control. She thinks it just kind of comes out. She had me wear diapers for a while, really CUTE ones from Amazon, but I decided that I didn't want to wear them anymore, so now I try to BITE her when she tries to put them on. I do ask to go outside; I'm good with that.
My foster mom knows I want a lot of love, and that I have a lot of love to give, and she thinks I might be OK having a brother, but I don't like having sisters. My foster mom thinks I'm just jealous. I LOVE it when she picks me up and cradles me in her arm and "tickles" my belly. I LOVE looking her in her eyes when she does that. And then I close my eyes and just enjoy the "tickling".
I'm up-to-date on all of my vaccines, and I'm heartworm negative, and I'm microchipped. If I'm too much of a diva for you, do you know of someone else? My foster mom says that I'm really loving, when I'm not being a diva or in a bad mood. Oh, and I have some mats that are bugging me. But I'll get a haircut when I'm sleeping during my dentist appointment. _____ The adoption fee includes age-appropriate vaccinations, heartworm test, spay/neuter and microchip!
