Mommy Mamacita is a 6-pound queen of lived experience who likes her humor wry and her food easy to chew. She’s not about the hubbub – the fetching, the chasing, the digging, and definitely not the stairs – but, at this age, she likes time well spent. This means a quick jaunt, some lounging, prodigious napping, some outdoor sniffs, and as much sympathetic listening as you require. Cuddles are definitely on the wish list, along with anything by Joni Mitchell and a scrumptious soft treat if you’ve got them. Our regal memaw may be a wee wisp of a toy fox terrier, but she’s a giant when it comes to wisdom and tenderness. Looking high and low for a portable font of good vibes and gratitude? Look no further.
Here’s some notes from her foster:
She is her own boss! She only barks during meal prep – like hurry up and feed me – or when she’s looking for you! She loves a good nap consisting of at least 2-3 hours.
She walks well on leash but sometimes weaves back and forth so watch yourself! Ideally, she enjoys going out 3-4x/day 2-4 blocks. She is totally used to Van Ness Ave and the traffic that comes with it. She’s friendly w/other dogs, a quick sniff and she’s ready to move on. She is curious about her surroundings. No stairs for this lady! All stairways should be gated off. She does require a boost on to the bed etc.
Her favorite treats are anything small and soft. A favorite is a bit of vanilla ice cream. She sleeps like a princess & the pea. It takes 5-10 min for her to find the right spot or place on her humans bed. She loves to sleep touching your arm or leg.
She is vision impaired, she finds you by scent or barking if your out of her range; she probably sees shadows she hasn’t bumped into my pup me or furniture I leave a night lite on she sleeps fairly soundly for 8 or more hours
She will head toward the door if she needs to go potty and will walk back and forth. She also knows how to use a potty pad. Around noisy cars and buses we use a carrier for comfort. She allows handling, no trouble wearing a harness, she loves top of head kisses and may kiss you right back. She bonds very easily and fast with her human. Having another dog(s) in the house is a bonus if you ask her.
