Story
Strawberry frosted (aka Bubba, Bubs, Babygirl, Princess) is a total sweetheart - intiitally skeptical of us upon pickup, she has quickly warmed to us and the neighborhood. She needs lots of reassurance and encouragement, but she is quickly gaining confidence,and loves the park and running around. She will let you pick her up, brush her teeth, and give her a bath - she is sweet and gentle and acts like a little princess when she is in a comfortable space. She does not like sudden noises and is still getting used to the sights and sounds of the city, but is brave enough to face every walk with cautious enthusiasm!Personality & Characteristics: Curious, sweet, goofy - Strawberry frosted is the people's princess and loves attention, cuddles, and quality time - she's been the star of many a dinner party already. Verdict is still out on other dogs - she does get nervous when any dog is really close (be it a chiuaua or a german sherpherd)), but once she can smell and investigate, she is happy to play and make friends! She needs a human who will guide her out of her comfort zone and help her to get used to the world around her. She has had no issues with any dogs, cats, or kids we've come across, but does get hyperfixtated when a dog is far away and she can't investigate! She is almost crate and house trained, but has had a few accidents when settling into her new home due to nerves. 3 Keywords for your pup: Sweet, gentle, curiousEnergy Level (1= calm, 10= high energy): 8- Strawberry frosted encompasses all sides of the spectrum - she has no problem sitting at home while we WFH and spends all night in her crate, but also LOVES to run and play when she is at the park. When she is in a familar park she knows, she loves to run at full speed and is very fast! After we're tired her out, it's stragiht to a nap where she curls up on the hardwood.Barker? Or Quiet Pup?: VERY quiet - she has not barked once! She does whine when she is hungry or wants to go out.Walking Manners: Strawberry frosted is still warming up to the outdoors and noises of city life, but when she gets moving, she goes pretty quick! She is very nervous with loud, sudden noises outside. She loves long walks and is taken out for 45+ minutes at least once a day - you can tell she is fit and can go go go, but as of now, she's too scared to make it too far, so we do lots of laps! She does pull on the leash, but we're learning how to walk better!Appetite: Is uninteresting in food when she is nervous or stressed, but eats her full bowl twice daily when she is at home and comfortableDoes the following: She does not get car sick, but is definitely nervous in new spaces. She is great with new people and the vaccuum, but the outside has been a little scary for her. We've left her alone and uncrated for short stretches and she does great. Favorite Things: Peanut butter, her rope toys, nappingCommands/Tricks: Not there yet! But she's very smart and we're learning!
