** I have a video starring ME for you to watch! Please click through my pictures, and youandamp;#39;ll find it there! **andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Hi there! Iandamp;#39;m sweet and super friendly Thumbelina, and Iandamp;#39;m a wise and wonderful, loyal and loving senior gal with a tale to tell. Life threw me a curveball when my owner faced tough times and couldnandamp;#39;t keep me after seven years together. But donandamp;#39;t you worry, Iandamp;#39;ve got my tail wagging and my spirits high!andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Iandamp;#39;m a laid-back lady with a puppy-like playful spirit, but I do know the art of relaxation like no other. Walks are my jam - the sights, the smells, the wind in my fur - itandamp;#39;s just paw-some! Car rides are a close second, and youandamp;#39;ll find me with my head out the window, taking in the world as we go. Oh, and I should mention how much I love to run around in a back yard with the wind making my ears flop around. andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;I may be a bit older, but that doesnandamp;#39;t stop me from enjoying playtime with my favorite toys. Tug-of-war, fetch, you name it - Iandamp;#39;m up for it! Iandamp;#39;ve got a favorite toy, too - itandamp;#39;s a blue and green octopus, and I love it with all my heart. Now, letandamp;#39;s talk about my leash skills - theyandamp;#39;re impeccable. I strut my stuff like a canine fashion model, making every walk a breeze.andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Iandamp;#39;m a social butterfly when it comes to other dogs, but Iandamp;#39;ve got a soft spot for the chill ones. You know, the ones who share my love for lazy afternoons and cozy naps on the couch next to you. If youandamp;#39;ve got a mellow canine companion, weandamp;#39;ll get along just paw-fectly. And to be completely forthcoming, I like to chase cats, so I shouldnandamp;#39;t go to a home with one. andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;In my foster home, I was usually the first to head to bed, and Iandamp;#39;d dream away the whole night wrapped in my favorite blanket. My days were spent with a few play sessions with toys, and then a nap; a little more play, and then another nap; well, you get the picture. If Iandamp;#39;m not playing, Iandamp;#39;m cuddling! I adore being hugged. If you ask me if I want a kiss, Iandamp;#39;ll turn my head so you can plant one on my cheek. I just want to be part of your world. I even know when you are sad, and Iandamp;#39;ll rub your face and give you plenty of my famous kisses to cheer you up. andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Iandamp;#39;ve got a few tricks up my sleeve, too - Iandamp;#39;m housebroken, and I know sit, stay, wait and shake. Iandamp;#39;m a quick learner, a faithful and loyal girl who is always eager to please. I will greet you excitedly at the door each time you return to me, and Iandamp;#39;ll always have a toy in my mouth to share with you. Life may have taken an unexpected turn, but Iandamp;#39;m ready to start a new chapter with a loving family who appreciates the joy of a calm, sweet soul like mine. andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;So, what do you say? Are you ready to add a seasoned, playful, silly, funny and happy four-legged cutie pie like me to your family? Letandamp;#39;s embark on this journey together, one walk and wag at a time!andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Love from Thumbelina
