Hello, my name is: Marcia. My nickname is: Pretty Princess. My breed is: Great Pyrenees.
My favorite thing to eat is: Boiled chicken!
My favorite thing to play with is: My canine foster sister Poppy; we romp and play and then take a long day's nap.
My funniest quirk is: I may not look like a full PYR as I run on the petite size (I can be a lap dog), but my personality is 100% PYR. I will give you the PYR PAW anytime you are near me to kindly remind you for a pet. Don't worry, though, I will quickly take a hint when you don't oblige. The second funny thing is when I'm confused or tired, I sometimes make a funny face where my tongue is partially outside my mouth. You can tell by my look that this is not intentional but my actual mood at the moment!
What do I get in trouble for: I get on the bed even when dad says no. It's so soft and cozy, and I want to cuddle. I would be the perfect cuddle buddy!
What I dislike the most: is being crated at night.
What makes me unique: My little black patches on my face and ear. It's my unique trait, and I have the sweetest face; I'm a true doll mixed with my patches.
Where do I sleep: on the sofa.
Do I love car rides: so far, so good!
Where's my favorite place to go: cuddles in bed!
Do I like cats: unknown.
How do I feel about my crate: I do okay in it as long as it's during the day. However, since I'm a good girl and house-trained, there isn't much need for it.
More things to know about me: I love to lounge around all day, and a little play is okay too. I am very well-behaved. I don't have accidents in the house, I don't chew things that aren't mine, and I am very sweet and gentle with all humans! I live with two kiddos, and I love them. They play and run around the house, which doesn't bother me. My favorite is when they pet me, I roll over for them to scratch my belly. I am still learning that I am safe, so it's best to give me a little time to get to know new dogs. When I first came to my foster home, I growled at both dogs out of fear. But after a day and learning the female dog would be nice to me, we are best friends now. The old male dog still doesn't want to be my friend, so I am learning to leave him alone. I am good on a leash and, overall, a perfect little girl. I am adorable, calm, affectionate, and looking for the sweetest family.
