This brave lady has had it pretty ruff lately. Thankfully, with the help of some TLC and sunbeam naps Honey P is gaining her confidence and feeling better every day. She’s even in the process of writing a TED Talk: From Ruff to Tough: How treats, love, and soft beds can lead to becoming the best you.
Here’s some notes from her foster:
Sweetie has been the best guest these past few weeks. She is quiet, doesn’t make a sound, and will happily follow you around the house, curious about your day. Despite her size, Sweetie does shake when she’s put in a bag at first. After getting used to me she stopped shaking as much, but she’s not a huge fan of the big outdoors so we spend more time in the backyard or indoors together.
She has such a fun personality but it will take some time to build her confidence. She hears well with her big ears, and she can navigate well in spite of her cloudy eye. She is a peppy little companion and will be a great snuggle buddy to someone. Sweetie is potty trained but doesn’t give many cues and is too small to push open the dog door I have, so I put her outside every few hours and she’ll happily find a spot to go. In the morning it’s important to take her out first thing..
Sweetie loves being on her feet. She may not like to walk everywhere but she is perfectly capable of getting around by herself, and she enjoys it! I will usually have her trail behind me as a stroll, and she will sniff and walk at her own pace. Sometimes she doesn’t want to walk and she’ll be in her bag instead. She is scared of the world but is slowly opening up to it again!!
