Candy Land 12902

My story

"Hey everyone! Come say hello to ME!" Candy Land will be the first to tell you, maybe we should have named her Chutes and Ladders, since she is loving bopping around HQ, actively greeting everyone and finding out if they're ready for a turn at a favorite board game. This little 12 years-young tan Chi mix will be happy to sit down with you and beat you at a game of Monopoly. Miss Candy L. is an active, energetic, fun little gal who would benefit greatly from a few walks around the neighborhood every day as she needs to shed a few of her 18 pounds. This big, happy girl is just waiting for the right person to come in and play a game with her! Or, at the very least, go out together for an afternoon constitutional. When you come to Muttville, just ask for the joyful bundle of love, Candy Land! Here's some notes from her foster: Candyland is a charmer. She charmed the guests at my dinner party just by snoring at their feet. She loves people and gets along with my dogs and cats. She hasn’t come face-to-face with my rabbits, but she doesn’t go crazy circling their enclosure. Candyland is a good eater, and a pleasant sleeping partner. She doesn’t invite trouble. She might snarl if one of my dogs encroaches upon her and her food, but she doesn’t encroach upon them and their food. Candyland doesn’t show any signs of aggression. She doesn’t even join in leach aggression when walking with my knuckleheads. I haven’t heard her bark even once. She’s very quiet and doesn’t seem to have any problems being left alone. Candyland is fine on leash. I wouldn’t say she’s a zig-zagger, but she sometimes walks a little too close to me and gets underfoot. She walks better when she's not walking with my dogs. Candyland enjoys being out and about and really enjoys her walks. Candyland tells me when she needs to go out. We’ll be laying on my bed, and she’ll stand up and walk to the edge like she wants off. Then I know that she wants to potty. She enjoys her sleepy time, so she doesn’t get up for just anything. Candyland sleeps through the night. Sometimes she gets too close and encroaches upon what little space the other dogs have left me. I just move her, and she gets comfy again and goes back to sleep. Candyland is a true low rider. She doesn’t do stairs. Unless you’re willing to carry her up as well as down, stairs are a no-no. It seems more of a mental than a physical challenge for her, as she seems physically fit and active. However, I would not allow her to jump off furniture. Although she’ll land on her feet, because she's such a low rider, it seems like a hard landing and bad for her knees. Overall, Candyland has been an easy foster and a great houseguest. She doesn't get carsick. She is calm in an elevator. Not a picky eater. Goes with the flow. She acclimated to my routine quickly. She’s smart, friendly, social, and a good companion dog.
