Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Joe Jo, a precious 2 year old,9 pound Yorkie boy being fostered in McKinney, TX. Only TX applicants will be considered.
In the past few months my true personality is shining through. I am a very HAPPY boy all the time. I wake up happy, happy all day until it is sleepy time. I get to sleep anywhere I like and I like people beds, doggie beds, pillows on top of doggie crates, the couch, loveseat and recliner here. I still do not like crates. I can be snuggly too and I love to give out kisses. I LOVE all kinds of toys and Nyla bones. I do not deconstruct plush toys but do like to steal them from the other dogs. That is my mission sometimes to make sure I have all the toys. I do not take all of them out of the toy box these days and just pick out a few every day to play with. I do not play with items I should not, like shoes. I will just steal some things and put them in the toy box and usually it is Foster Moms bandanas and socks. I am a fabulous eater and I take treats from you gently but I will drop it and watch to see if the other dogs here do not want their cookie and try and steal it until FM tells me to go eat my own cookie. I love going outside (when it is not scorching hot) and explore the yard, chase bugs, try and catch grasshoppers and fireflies when they were in season. I am quite comical to watch especially when I get the zoomies outside and inside too. You see I have some fast legs and am quick. I am still not to comfortable with a harness and leash and that is something we are working on but it has been too hot to really do some lead walking. The weather is breaking so maybe I will get to walk in our very rural neighborhood. I am not fully potty trained and we are still working on that so I still wear those belly band fashion accessories inside the house. Sometimes the band is wet and sometimes it is not. I do wait at the door when I come in from outside so you can band me up. I am an easy going guy when it comes to baths. I do not love them but I do not hate and fight them either. The groomer I went to a while back said that I was a dream to groom, that I just let her do her job and I did not fight anything she did. I am a good guy too when you leave for errands. I just take a nap and wait until you get back home. I will always be the first one to greet you at the door and if you bring bags home I will want to stick my nose in it to see if you got anything for us dogs but will not take anything out of the bags even if it is a Ribeye steak
