• “I may be a senior but that doesn’t slow me down one bit. I know how to pace myself and am still spry enough to pull off stunts I probably shouldn’t. My hoomans would put me as “tender” if only 1 word was used to describe me. I exhibit everything within that word: a tender-hearted soul who is very cognizant of the mental/ physical health of my mum + others, tender paws (when I let loose with playing I frequently injure my paws because I’ve got very thin skin), and, etc. I adore my hoomans. Am what you call Velcro dog. I’ve got a touch of sass that’s hidden until I’m comfortable; came from a litter where I was the only girl so naturally I have to be thus. Also, I did lots of training but sometimes I choose to not portray all that work … I was used as the main dog to acclimate/ mediate others who were scared or as demonstration a lot. I am also going through some issues cause it seems my body is flaring up and/ or having allergies at many things so I can’t have any animal proteins (chicken, beef, duck, venison, etc. even the exotic proteins) and it sucks. Oh yeah! Smol toys or cat ones are the best.“
