Sweetie

Sweetie went to her forever home in March 2008. Sweetie went to her foster home and never left it!!! She was adopted by her foster family in Baton Rouge LA.

She likes to wear the blue curtains in the dining room a la Scarlet O'Hara (if she were red, I would change her name to that but she's blonde), to lie on the Oriental rugs upside down in rapture and once--before I corrected her manners--to eat off the china (on the table). She knows the command shake; but in her case, I think it's more do-my-nails or kiss-my-hand than anything else. She now joins Dash, our rescued boy from the GSGRR Great Escape of 2004 (puppy mill rescue), in roaming the section of the Bluebonnet Swamp adjacent to our property. (Of course, she's also snarled at the cat and had a few potty and other unmentionable accidents. But, as my 11-year-old daughter Allie points out: Dash did a lot worse and we still kept him.) Last Friday, she joined Dash in becoming a certified therapy dog with LSU Tiger HATS, a program of the vet school. In less than a month, she's come a long way from being dumped at the East Baton Rogue Animal Control by an owner who said he didn't care if she were euthanized.
