Are you ready for some seriously mind-altering mushrooms? Are you ready to experience non-stop euphoria plus visions of little tongues and wagging tails? Meet Shiitake and Portobello, our bonded shroomies – and perhaps your new roomies! Shiitake is the fluffy Maltese mix. She is VERY sweet and gentle, and loves hiding under tiny spaces (truly impressive). Portobello is our chihuahua mix boy. He also gets an A+ for sweetness, and loooooooves to be held. Both are a little shy at first, but we think they will warm up quickly in a home with nice groovy vibes.
Here’s what their foster has to say:
Shiitake:
Hi my name is Shiitake and I am "such a good girl!, well that is what my foster Mum tells me a lot!! I can be a little shy when I first meet people, but I REALLY want to be friends, as I love snuggles and playtime. My foster Mum and I play with toys, but I like to make her fetch them!!! Then I show her my zoomies, I skid about, and jump, and she thinks I am a real hoot, Portobello doesn’t agree!
I learnt some new tricks lately and gee does it make my foster Mum happy, she tell me how good I am and gives me a treat! I go to the door and I hangout so she knows I need a bathroom break, now please. Also whilst we are walking I listen really carefully to her instructions and I rarely tangle her and Portobello up anymore, this makes them both happy (more treats for me!). I am starting to explore the small humans in the house, I give them a thorough sniff and an occasional lick, they also feed me, so I guess I like them!
So as you can see I am pretty fun, enjoy self-improvement, and give lots of love, especially to my bestie, Portobello. So if you would like double the love, for just a little patience with my shyness, Portobello and I are your duo!!
Portobello:
Hello, Portobello here!
My foster Mum says I am the sweetest guy around and everyone needs some Portobello time. She says I am good for the soul and deeply relaxing to be around. I am a pretty easy going old guy, and I am easy to please. I love nothing more than a super plush bed to sink into, with a lovely soft blanket to bury myself in, and then I like to snooze the day away. I will also make a bed out of anything, apparently it is my talent. Shopping bags, sock draws, boxes, car seat, washing, my foster Mum says "if it fits, it sits, well sleeps in my case!
I do very much enjoy a good snuggle, I warn you in advance! My foster Mum thankfully can not resist me, especially when I delicately paw her, so she is often found doing everything one handed whilst cradling me and kissing my head, which I love. The children are also very good at showering me with affection which is much appreciated.
I enjoy a slow short walk, unlike Shiitake! So I do need to be carried sometimes, but look how cute I am!! And I will stare lovingly at you as we walk! I get a little anxious being left alone but my foster Mum says I am getting braver each day. She also says I am still prefect!!
