Our newest foster girl has arrived from Texas and she is as sweet as can be. Chicory is 3 yrs old, about 13 pounds and although shy at first with people and new experiences she quickly learns things are safe. She is looking for a home without big dogs but wouldn't mind cats as long as they keep their distance. While she doesn't seem likely to chase small animals she definitely didn't trust the cat she was introduced to and barked a bit while backing away.
Chicory does great with Frodo and Tilly and would love to play more if they would only join in with her. While she does have great bite inhibition while playing she does tend to be somewhat "face-oriented" in her play so she needs to go to a home without young children.
We are working on house-training and it's going great but she will need a new family who is willing to reinforce her new learned skill with crate-training and not too much freedom to begin with while she is learning where the correct potty spots are.
You can't fully see them in this shot but Chicory's crowning glory are her radar dish-sized ears that are alert to everything. Most of the time both are fully up but when she is relaxed one will fold over a little bit - it's probably tiring keeping all that ear weight up! :)
Update: The weather has been horrible over the passes and we are still trying to get Doc over the mountains for his foster home transfer. The next time we will try for is this Saturday and if that doesn't work, Monday. Cross your paws!
