She’s such a good girl! This pup has come so far in the two weeks I’ve had her! From the scared baby that cowered when I reached for her leash the first time I met her, to the brave girl that meets new people at adoption events in new places!
Emory just fits into the house now. She knows the routines, and she knows her part in them. The only negative I can say about her is that she still chases our cats sometimes, but she is improving. Last night the cat was on the kitchen counter, and Emory was able to sit calmly on the floor and ignore him. Big progress!
The first few days with her were a little rough, and I mean a little. She messed in her crate the first few nights. Kinda understandable with all the changes she had been going through, and with all the snow on the ground at the time, I think this Southern girl wasn’t sure where she was supposed to do her business outside!
Now this girl is settled and ready to find her forever home. She loves all the kids she has met at adoption events. She has also been good with all the other dogs she’s met. When we go for walks, she is interested in other dogs that we pass, but greats them with a wagging tail. She’s never aggressive. Oh, and did I mention that she is great on a leash?
This girl walks the neighborhood right by my side on a loose leash, such a pleasure to walk! She also seems to understand when it is OK to stop and sniff, and when I’m trying to actually get some exercise and up the pace a bit. She is fine with either!
This how Emory sits and waits for me to make her dinner.
Emory likes hanging out and watching TV at night. She’s also a great work from home buddy. In the morning, we go for a walk, she gets her breakfast, then I settle into my desk, and she just curls up next to me. She only bothers me if she needs to go out. Did I mention that other than her crate the first couple of days she hasn’t had a single accident in the house?
I’m really enjoying having this girl as a foster. I am hoping she finds her forever home soon. She is getting very comfortable here, and it makes me feel bad knowing she has another transition coming, but hopefully after finding her best self here, she will be ready to move to her next home with an easy transition!
If anyone is looking to adopt, this good girl and many other great dogs are available from Mary’s Dogs.
