I'm now on foster pup #3 and I keep thinking that I can't get one better than the last. Jetta is really turning out to be a wonderful pup. My entire family has fallen in love with her! Today she spent the day helping around the farm, playing with my parent's dogs, taking a hike and, of course, enjoying some long naps in between all the excitement. Here's what I've learned about her so far:
- She's beautiful. I mentioned before that her coat is very unique. But, she also has SUPER long eyelashes and some of the best teeth I've ever seen on a dog- quite white and very straight.
- She's quiet. Not only in her demeanor, but also in her voice. I have yet to hear her bark!
- She's a lovebug. She loves to be pet and loves to be near her humans.
- She's beginning to show quite a personality. Yesterday, as to be expected, she was a bit timid. Now, she's romping with her "cousins," rolling around on the ground and on the bed to show her silly side, running in fast circles around the yard when she gets excited, and giving you a "paw" when she wants to be pet or wants attention.
- She takes everything in stride. She follows directions well and knows commands (I have learned that she also understands "no.") She is open to new adventures. On our hike today, she jumped right in the water when we stopped for a swim.
- So far, she appears to be housebroken. She has yet to have an accident in the house.
- She walks well on a leash, but also does well off lead. Again, she's responding to "come" and comes quickly when called. She does not pull on the leash and will walk comfortably at any distance lead you give her. When we were in a store, she calmly walked at my side on a short lead. When we were hiking, I gave her a long lead and she loved running ahead.
