These two cuties are looking for love! Noel (left) is a 2 yr old yorkie mix who is full of terrier smarts and spirit. She is very playful with the other dogs in her home but also likes to cuddle up with her foster family when it's TV time. Chaplin (right) is a 5 yr old shihtzu mix who is about as laid back as they come. He's content no matter what is happening. He likes to be near the action in his foster home but is never demanding of attention. He has only one eye which raises his cuteness quotient exponentially. You can read about both at rescue.fluffydog.net.
Noel and Chaplin (remember I call them Ellie and Charlie) are doing great. Noel continues to play, play, play with her foster sister, standard poodle Missy, and has now gotten her foster brother, miniature poodle Miles, into the act. They are all having so much fun. Missy and Miles are both about 8 years old and it's so great to see them having so much fun with all the running and wresting.
Ellie does have an off switch and loves to cuddle when there's no action to be had. She joins any of us on the couch and settles in for a nap. Sometimes she naps with her feet up in the air which is so fun to see.
I'll bet she would be good at agility. She's got the speed and seems to have the smarts. I do think there's some potential there.
We've had some friends over recently and Noel has shown that she is shy when someone new comes in the house. She will stay away for a few minutes but as the other dogs approach the greet the visitor she joins in. Eventually she is sitting on the visitor's lap but it's not instantaneous like it is with the others.
Charlie has been doing great. He's such an easy going guy. He greeted our visitors quickly. He was polite (no jumping) and curious. Once he met them though and got about 5 minutes of petting he was content to go find his bed and lay back down.
He has been very good about doing his potties outside. I work from home so I let all the dogs out several times a day.
He doesn't have the courage to jump up or down from the sofa or bed but will approach and let out a muffled bark or give a pleading look when he wants to be helped. He enjoys laying in bed with me at night while we watch some TV. He doesn't like to be right next to me touching me (hey I don't like to be touched while I'm sleeping either) but lays a foot or two away and curls up for a nap.
He is such a special guy! I just love this little man.
