Story
Hi there! I'm Bossy, a boisterous 30 pound ball of silky hair and youthful exuberance!  I'm 3 years old but still puppy-like .. neutered and all UTD on vetting.  They call me "maltese mix" but those are little dogs ... I'm not so little. Not sure where my name of Bossy came from but I gleefully play with anybody who lets me and I'm a lover, not a boss. I live to be surrounded by my pack, both human and canine. Not quite sure exactly what I would do if I was ever all alone without any dogs or people as that's never happened to me, not even for a minute, and I'm pretty sure I wouldn't love it.  You see, I came from a small home filled with a LOT of dogs and I spent most of my life in a crate (so the crate isn't my fav hangout but I'm getting there ... I am ok in my crate for up to a couple of hours as long as I'm not totally alone ... just seeing the other pups calms me).  I really prefer sitting on my person's lap and sleeping in his/her bed but I'll do my best to cooperate with the crate if you insist.  And, while we are talking about my old life, I don't recall even being outside at all ... ever!?! I used ONLY pee pads but I have excellent aim! Honest!  Now, I am getting the hang of this potty-outside thing but I still prefer my pee pads, maybe just for a wee bit longer. I 'm 80 percent of the way there but I need just a little more time and patience to get potty-perfect! A fenced yard where I could ask to go out anytime would expedite this process!    Not sure why but I seem to make people laugh. Maybe cuz I'm a little clumsy (actually, I'm really clumsy), extremely snuggly, constantly smiling and just bouncing around looking for the next thing to play with.  Twas love at first sight with my foster doggie siblings and I calmly greet new fur friends on our many walks. And, though I have never seen a cat, I'm pretty sure I will love them as well since I really don't wanna waste my energy chasing things that don't wanna be caught for cuddles ... so thinking I will probably leave the cats alone. Unless, of course, they'll play with me then, game on!! . Speaking of cuddles, kids are very good cuddlers and I would love some of my own but maybe not too teeny as I am a bigger/stronger than I realize and tend to run into stuff I didn't plan to. Ditto with teeny dogs ... I am only being my happy, enthusiastic, exuberant self but some littles seem to get upset when I accidentally bump them.  I'm told that I'm well on my way to being the most perfect family dog ever  ... and that's all I ever wanted to be.    I will need an adopter with at least one other young-ish dog who will love me, wrestle with me, be my bestie and continue to mentor me in the good-doggie ways.  I am really hoping for an active home where there are humans and furfriends around more often than not.  My favorite spot in the house is the middle of the kitchen floor cuz that's where the action is!  Could that be your kitchen floor?   ##2072011##
