Update on Allie

Adopted February 2009


Allie is doing great! She has taken several obedience classes since we last updated you, and has done wonderfully. However, even with all her experience from dog classes, she still manages to get into a little mischief while outside. We live across the street from a horse farm, and if we don't keep an extremely watchful eye on her she slips over, eats as much horse manure as possible, and if the horses are out, tries to play with them. So because of that, we keep her on a leash or a 'long line' the majority of the time we are outside. She does like to play outside though, and can run like the wind. Inside, she absolutely loves to be as comfortable as possible, and has somehow convinced us to buy three dog beds for her. Each one a little more plush that the one before. They all are big enough to accommodate a dog two times her size! (what can we say, we are suckers for her beautiful brown eyes!) If she doesn't feel like sleeping in one of her beds, we can usually find her sprawled out on our couch. Believe me, for a small (40 lbs) dog, she somehow finds a way to take up the whole thing. She loves all people, and is very gentle with kids. She is hesitant around some dogs and is a little picky making dog friends. But you can tell she absolutely adores the dog friends that she has made.







Thanks for checking in on Allie. We can imagine our life without her!
