Sissy's Social Calendar

Sissy has been so busy lately, we've been negligent in getting a new blog entry done. My, or my, where to begin.

She LOVES to ride in the car. She likes to explore and see new things. She's much more comfortable exploring new places when she has one of her dog buddies with her. She's not keen on going places without a dog pal.

She is really enjoying playing with toys. In fact, she actually played a game of tug with foster sibling, Rio the other evening. They were really cute together. I wish I had gotten a picture. She enjoys picking up toys, throwing them, shaking and squeaking them. She also still like to hoard toys too which is so cute. Sometimes she can't even lay on her bed because of all the toys.

Sissy is really starting to seek out affection. She loves to be petted and have her face rubbed, but she prefers it to be on her terms. She likes to be the one seeking it out. Sissy is the kind of dog who will be happiest when people let HER approach. She's very friendly and loving, but I have found her to be the most comfortable and at ease when the attention and affection was her idea.

Sissy seems to really be enjying her life off the track. Her social calendar has been pretty busy lately.

Recently, Sissy accompanied her foster siblings and attended an agility trial where her foster sister, Rio was competing. She got to attend the birthday party for foster siblings Rio, Chloe and and other family friend (another Chloe) while at the agility trial.


Sissy thought the doggie birthday cake was yummy!


Sissy also had a house full of visitors last week. We had some family in from out of town--5 additional people in the house. Sissy was a trooper. That was a lot of activity and people. She was nervous (who wouldn't be), but she managed. She even snuck in a few friendly sniff of the visitors. She was glad (as were the rest of my pack) to get the house back to ourselves.

Sissy is quite happy hanging out with her foster siblings who have also become her buddies.


Are you and your dog looking for a new family member? Perhaps you and your dog are looking for another dog that like to go for hikes or go for interesting walks in the countryside? Sissy strikes me as a country girl kind of dog. She definitely likes to travel. I haven't had a chance to take her camping, but I honestly think she would enjoy it.
