She is a pretty independent spirit, who enjoys being outside and just reflecting on her own thoughts as she sniffs the breeze.
I just love that spotted tongue. I tried to count the kisses last time she gave me a session but I lost count.
Tashi had a spotted tongue like that too, and I can't really imagine anything more precious.
She and Fozzie get along well, though she and Lamar are not crazy about each other.
But then, Lamar is not crazy about anybody, and Lady just doesn't feel like putting up with his grumping. As she is too overweight and sluggish to get very far when she goes after him, their conflict has not really presented a problem. I do try to let Lamar relax in his own bedroom at night, so I keep Lady in the living room, where Florian has chosen to sleep with her of late.
How fascinating dogs are, with their unique personalities. What goes through Lady's head, as she relaxes in the yard, then the moment she sees me, kisses me compulsively for minutes on end?
How is it that Fozzie, so reactive to other dogs on leash, shows such incredible maturity and tolerance with every foster dog I bring home, showing mild interest but seldom overbearing, and in turn bringing out the best in them?
You are doing such an amazing thing! Look at Lady, what a beauty. The spotted tongue is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear that things are going well. It is interesting how different the personalities are and I too wonder what goes through their minds. I suppose that is part of the unique bond we have with dogs, that we will never truly know.
ReplyDeleteWe think that you and Florian, Fozzie and Lamar give so much to these kids who need a family to stay with until they find their own permanent home.
ReplyDeleteI am very impressed that while dog reactive, Fozzie is such a wonderful foster brother. It's his purpose in life, I think :)
ReplyDeleteWe hope she finds her home soon!

I believe in the energy of a home and its occupants. You all share a good, relaxing, inviting energy so Lady and your other fosters feel completely welcome.
ReplyDeleteLady looks like a lovely pup. My Nikki is very quiet and "reflective." I often catch myself asking the same question you did. I wonder what she is thinking about. Someone is going to be very lucky to welcome Lady into their home.
