One’s experience of The Experience, a pearly white pom-chi everybody is raving about, often starts with scratches. Sinking your fingers into his lush coat – part cashmere goat hair with some sturdy otter shine – is a multi-sensory encounter and he’s happy to oblige. Include a classic top-of-tail scritch and he’ll plant his tiny feet, smiling and squinting into the horizon for all the time you’ve got. That said, he’s also up for lap and nap sessions, dog parties, walks, idle chatter and poetry readings. Long legs, lots of chill, velvet neck rolls for days – he lacks nothing and requests only your unconditional love. That, and the scratches.
Here’s some notes from his foster:
The Experience is such a sweet sweet boy. He gets along well with my energetic chi. All he wants is cuddles, snacks, and more cuddles. I hike pretty often and he is happy to come along in a dog backpack. He just takes a snooze. Hospice dog is the new adventure dog, I guess!
He loves to be held like a baby and will fully fall asleep like that. He’s a funny one and I have grown quite fond of him.
The nuts and bolts – He can handle some stairs, although a little wobbly. He’s a good eater and will let you know it when he is hungry. He is good on short walks, just takes it pretty slow, but he likes to explore. He is great with new people and I am told he does well with kids.
