Hi, It’s Lola again! My foster mom wanted me to give you an update on how I am doing.  I am  a very playful, happy and confident girl and the humans I live with tell me I’m an absolute joy!  I am completely trustworthy with the run of the house, and will not be destructive. I love to cuddle up on the bed during the day and sleep and when the humans come home I am full of wiggles and kisses.  I get a break around lunch or so which works out great for some play and potty time. I am told that I have the softest hair and skin and I love affection!  Apparently I am a little chunky, but have lost a few lbs as the humans have put me on a great diet and I get a lot of running and play time.  I like small treats but I’m not obsessed with food, as I would really like to get my girly figure back and thinking that bikini season will be just around the corner!  

As far as socializing and adventures, I have been with two other dogs (my foster brother and the another older female dog), and we seemed to get along fine.  I’ve taken strolls in the woods and met a few other dogs (including a puppy!), but at this time, I need to be on the anti-pull harness for now. I have not met many dogs just yet (just passing by on the trail in the woods) as I am still getting comfortable with my foster brother and new people. I think I am a little unsure and maybe a bit nervous when approached by other dogs as I have not met many, so I feel they need to know upfront that I   can take care of myself, if they try anything funny!  I was testing the waters and tried to boss my foster brother around a few times and he was not happy about that!  He did get mad at me and corrected me, so I cowered and backed off, I think I just truly need a bit more socialization so I know the proper behavior around other dogs. I am pretty sure the more good experiences I have with  other dogs, the better I will be!   

I ride wonderful in the car, no pacing, no crying, just love to plop down and sleep or sit up tall right on bum and look out the window.  I am perfect company and am very content in the car and at home as well. I am very gentle and careful with people - a little lady, I am!  I do need reassurance that humans and other dogs are going to be kind to me.  I have good manners too! if you tell me no, I listen and respect whatever you tell me.  You don't need to raise your voice or use force with me, as I am a very good listener.  I know the commands sit, give paw, lay down, off and can even "TALK" a little if you talk back to me!   When someone asks me to do something, I am not stubborn at all!  If you adopt me I promise you will be happy you did...my foster parents would tell you that I am a SWEETHEART and have lots of love to share!
