Ok, ok, so it's been more than two weeks.
I admit it, I've been a little lazy about blogging.
Between cleaning, cooking and playing with grandbabies over Thanksgiving, the blog has taken a back seat.
Dorothy is doing great and is a dream to take care of.
She has been accident free and reliably housetrained in our home.
She walks great on the leash. No pulling. Listens well. She does occasionally put her nose to the ground in hopes to find that bunny or squirrel, but she's not driven to do so, and she is easily called off the scent. She loves being outside and is always excited for a walk.
Dorothy crates easily with or without a treat and sleeps quietly in a crate in our bedroom at night. She also spends time quietly in a crate when we are at work, although she has also earned the privilege of free time alone in the house for short periods of time.
Dorothy has done great with all the people she has met, from my 80 year old mother to my 6 month old granddaughter. She greets gently without barking or jumping, and will cuddle up on any lap she finds. We hosted Thanksgiving at our house and had over 12 people in and out. Dorothy showed no signs of stress, and every time I checked on her, she was on someone's lap just chilling.
We haven't had the chance to meet any new doggie friends, but she and our resident dog get along great. She has not instigated play with him, and when he asks her, she defiantly says NO! Will she play some day? Maybe, maybe not, but that's not really a big deal as she seems to like having him around and defiantly looks to him for guidence.
Dorothy is about 15 lbs and a little longer than she is tall. Although she looks scruffy, her coat is actually very soft and graduates from black to brown with white speckles on her face. When out in the sun, we see red highlights in her under coat. The ears, the soft coat with red highlights, causes me to think she may be part Yorkie.
Whatever she is, she's definitely a keeper and would fit into any home.
