Pearl Island is waiting to wiggle her way into your heart!
Here’s some notes from her foster:
Pearl has been with me for about a week now and her personality has started to blossom. She’s a sweet, happy little girl who sticks close but is not needy. She tolerates being held, but it’s not her favorite. She’s happy to have her own space as long as I’m somewhere in the vicinity, and will come looking for me if I’m gone too long.
She’s adorably sassy and will let me know when I’m not getting her chicken to her fast enough or when she has decided that her humongous fluffy bed is not big enough, and she needs to sleep in the center of mine, but she’s not a big barker and she spends most of the day quietly napping.
The best discovery this week is that Pearl is pee pad trained. We’ve had a couple of accidents, but for the most part, once we got on the same page, she will go potty on her pee pads. I think it’s just a matter of her learning where she needs to go.
She’s is a little wobbly on her feet so long walks are not her thing. She’s happy to sniff around a bit and head back in. I’ve taken her in the car a couple of times and she’s done great.
The biggest challenge continues to be food. Although she loves her chicken and a dog treat I have been giving her, and cream cheese has been a life saver for getting her meds down, I have not yet found a way to get her to eat dog food consistently. Her adopters will need to continue to work on trying to find a food she will eat. She doesn’t have any teeth so I have not tried kibble.
