My name is Ivy League!

Letter of Recommendation for: Ivy League
From: Current Foster Parent

Meet Ivy League, one of the silliest dogs to enter my home. She`s about nine months old, weighs 50 pounds, and has blossomed into a rambunctious, vivacious, clumsy dog who is at the top of Santa`s naughty list (and proud of it).

Mastered Skills:
Sleeps in her crate (with minimal protest) like a champ.
Has a rough and tumble play style with other dogs, but has learned to be more gentle with her smaller foster sibling.
She`s been very polite and gentle with my nieces (4 and 5 y/o) and nephew (8 y/o).
Licking dishes as we`re trying to put them in the dishwasher (considers herself to be the Eco-Friendly Pre-Rinse Cycle).
Snores softly and talks in her sleep.
Does her own stunts (despite the fact that her limbs seem to operate independently of each other)
Smacks herself in the face when she wags her tail.
She is a walking heating pad, weighted blanket, and professional sponge thief (I don`t know where she keeps finding them and she won`t snitch). Her life goal is to snooze on the couch next to someone while they watch movies, but also to find and hoard all the toys (and sponges).

Developing Skills:
Learning not to hide acorns in her bed
Being brave when meeting new people
How to climb - not fall - off the couch

I cannot say enough good things about Ivy League; she comes out of her shell a little more each day, and it`s been so rewarding (and hilarious) to witness firsthand.
