Story
Hi! My name's Deuce (though I don't really know that). I'm a standard Bernedoodle and I'm 3 years old. I can't wait to meet my furever family! I'm 57 pounds but don't let my weight fool you, I'm tall and long. I'm just a little lanky right now until I add some weight.
I love my foster family, including my foster sister, who is half my size. I wish she liked to play more. By play more, I really mean play ALL OF THE TIME. I have so much energy and I don't know how to fetch or play with toys, so playing with other dogs is my only outlet. I made a Great Dane friend. She likes to play, but even she gets tired after a few hours and I still want to play. Maybe it's because I'm happy, safe, and have a full belly or maybe I still have a lot of puppy energy. My ideal furever family will have one or two siblings that like to play as much as me. I'm good with dogs of all sizes and I encountered a cat at the vet, and that was fine too. Don't get me wrong. I can definitely settle when it's required. My foster mom has been teaching me about quiet time in the morning while she has her coffee and during the day when she's working.
I loved my foster mom right from the start but it took me a little while to warm up to my foster dad. I have some stranger danger when it comes to men. I haven't met any kids yet but as long as they're nice to me, I bet I'll love them too, especially if they give me lots of pets and cuddles and let me kiss them.
My foster mom says I have so much love to give. I'm just a gentle giant. If I'm not playing, I want to cuddle and give kisses. I love giving kisses. I love being with her all of the time. I have some separation anxiety. I get nervous when she leaves (even if my foster dad is home) or when I'm left alone. My foster mom can see me through the camera. I pace until she comes home. I hope my furever mommy works from home. I just want to be her shadow.
I'm learning so much. I know a couple of commands, like sit and come. I also know what "no" means, though it makes me sad to hear it. We're working on lie down. I also learned that I don't like chicken. I like beef. I do have some food anxiety (but no food aggression). I really prefer that my foster mom hold my bowl while I eat. I've been on a few car rides to my foster grandparents' house for dinner. If I'm honest, the car makes me a little nervous too. I'll do it, but it's not one of my favorite things like it is for my foster sister. I'm a pretty good walker on a leash and can behave in stores and I wasn't scared of the vet, so I'm a great companion and up for anything, except maybe getting groomed. The sound of clippers and even the sight of a blow dryer scares me.
