Fostered in Baton Rouge, LA

11/22/23 - To quote Marilyn Monroe, “I’m selfish, impatient, and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and can, at times, be hard to handle. But if you can’t handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don’t deserve me at my best”.
I recently found myself in need of rescue when my family was relocating and they could not take me with them. Oh well, Thanksgiving will be here soon and I still have a lot to be thankful for. I’m very thankful that they found a great foster mom to take me in while I interviewed applicants to be my next family. See, when you are puppy, people show up and give breeders money and that is your family and home. When you are lucky enough to enter a rescue, people fill out applications and wait to see if they are lucky enough to have you. See the difference there? Turns the tables a bit.
Let me tell you a little about myself so you can ask yourself if you think we might be a match. I’m a bit a wild child, a rebel, a mover and a shaker. There isn’t a dog toy at my foster home that has been able to beat me. I rip them to shreds. I’m also a springy little thing. For your sake, push the chairs into the table tight. Especially if you tend to put any food on the table. I will get it, and I will eat it. I can’t lie, I used to get table scraps and everyone knows that this is a definite NO-NO for yorkies. Especially if you don’t want to end up at the emergency vet. So, keep all food out of reach. Oh, having the trash cans in a place that I can’t get to them is probably a good idea as well.
On to my next bad habit. I’m a bit of a darter. Yep, open that front door for the pizza delivery person, and say goodbye to me. If you have a backyard that might have some low areas that you think I can’t get out of, watch and learn! Taking me to the vet or the dog park and you think you will put me in the car and turn your back…. I think you get the hint!
There are other dogs in my foster home and I am co-existing fine with them, but not so much that I want to play with them. I’d rather sit in my human(s) lap or destroy a toy. Foster mom lets me sleep in the bed with her and I love it. So, I’ll be sleeping in the bed with my next parents. I like most people, but right at first, I can be untrusting. I’m sure you can understand. Do you trust everyone you meet without first being suspicious? Well, you shouldn’t!
Foster mom has pee pads down for us and I’ve used them, but love going outside and will do my business there too. This doesn’t mean I won’t make mistakes. It just means I’m 50% perfect. Normal household noises don’t seem to bother me, but I’m not sure about firecrackers and bad weather yet.
Let me see….. what else? I guess that’s about it for now. I hope I didn’t scare you off, but I’m a truthful kind of gal and want you to know the bad and the good. If you want a dog that will lie to you and tell you they won’t make a mistake in the house, that’s not me. I won’t sugar coat anything. I’m as real as they come. Someone has to take me as I am, or don’t take me all. You game?
