Greetings! My name is Stevie Nicks, and I have beautiful golden hair just like my famous namesake! I did have some allergy issues that are so much better now, but where I had scratched the fur is growing back in a number of shades of strawberry blonde making me very striking at the moment!
I am four years old and was surrendered by a breeder to this rescue. Since living in my foster home I have been getting along terrifically with my foster brothers and sisters and even try to play with their bunnies (although only one is actually big enough to truly play with). I love to visit with my neighbors and their dog next door and the two little girls across the street. A fence is not required but highly recommended as I have recently learned how fast I can run, and I keep my foster family on their toes if someone is walking by. Catch me if you can!
I love playing with rubber, Kong-style toys and wrestling with my siblings here. I also enjoy snacks of cheese. I'm kind of a picky eater but my fosters have been dressing up my food with plain yogurt or shredded cheese so it's more enjoyable. I am not a fan of the deep bowls, so I will sometimes decline to eat my food unless it's in a shallow dish or even on the floor. I just think it tastes better that way.
I do know SIT and COME is almost unnecessary as I will follow you around everywhere. (Unless there is a handsome dog walking past...then all bets are off! I must meet everyone!) I enjoy leisurely walks and don't pull on the leash but I do get tired and walk a bit on the slower side. I like to take my time and enjoy the outdoors, you know?
We are diligently working on housebreaking. I find grass weird. I spent all my time in a drop bottom crate so this potty outside is entirely new to me. I recommend scheduled potty breaks and just so you know I will likely do my business in mulched areas or on a sidewalk or driveway before using the grass. This is another reason a fenced yard would be preferable because I can take my time exploring the yard and not be distracted by someone holding my leash.
I am waiting for the perfect family to come find me so I can snuggle with you in bed, on the sofa, or anywhere else we may be!
