A Fluffy Dog

FIONA glamour shots. I think she is a chihuahua/pomeranian mix. Still not sure about her wirey hair though. 

Fiona, also known as Munch or just Fi. I guess I have not been keeping up on this blog. It wasn't getting many hits so I was not super motivated. That and I am more than happy to keep Fiona as long as I can.  She is just a fun little dog to have around. She is silly, playful, and just a great companion. If I am home she is nearby.  We kenneled her along with our 2 dogs for four days and they all did well I hear. I wasn't sure how she would take to people she did not know. I got a text within hours that she was getting belly rubs and the owner thought she was a hoot. When our dog sitter comes by they are best buddies also. Her potty training took a set back while my husband was home for weeks healing from surgery and missed her I need to get outside cues. If she messes inside it always is the same area so a potty pad may solve that. We have been on a good almost 2 wk no mess stretch again so crossing my fingers It is a rainy, lazy day so I figured some pictures of our lit

FIONA, or  MUNCH as my husband calls her. A little downtime, sleepy moment. She is more settled than when we first got her here a few months ago. Then we called her CRAZY! Fiona hanging out with her buddy Suzie, Suzie was also from Fluffy Dog Rescue. Fiona is watching out our front window. The bird feeders are out there and she can see all the bird and squirrel action.

She was so comfy snuggled up on my lap after a walk and eating her supper. This was her waiting for her treat at the bank drive through. She gets a big milk bone treat. So this is our kitty cat Fiona. At least she thinks she is one. We wonder if she was raised with cats?

Miss FIONA Well like most, maybe all? of the dogs we have fostered I love this one also. She can be an irritating pest at times but for the most part, she is just a playful, silly, young thing.  I ended up being home today and she has slept quietly in her doggie bed most of the time just like her older foster sisters. Our one dog Suzie is a good manners instructor for her and tries to teach Fiona when play gets too rough to tone it down. Fiona can learn very quickly who is her friend, especially if they give her yummy treats. She may react nervously at first introductions so we take that slow with her. She has been outside more as it has warmed up and is getting used to neighborhood noises and activity. Not too much alarm barking going on. She does howl at sirens though. One of her many cute quirks. I came home with a BAD migraine headache this week and she laid up by my head. She has never done that in bed before, could she know I needed a little TLC? Maybe, because "nurse&qu

Fiona Well, we are starting to get out for a few more walks as it is warming up. We got her a harness because she wants to pull so much I worried about her neck. Our dog walker used the word-crazy- to describe her enthusiasm.   Today she got all barky and growly at a snowman and oversized Easter rabbit lawn decorations she saw. Just has a lot to learn about this big world yet.  She did ignore kids out playing basketball, in the past they were scary monsters to her too. I seem to be having picture uploading issues. Sorry. Just know she is getting cuter each day. 

                          FIONA She was her busy self outside today. So many things to sniff, twigs to chew and squirrels to chase. We have our back yard fenced in and this was money well spent. She may be a very small dog but she will not be happy just sitting on a couch all day.  Wait did I hear a squirrel? Hmm, there seems to have been a squirrel in MY yard! Outside enjoying the sunshine

                                 FIONA Nosy Nellie wants to know what is under that plastic thing? She likes the little warm up we have gotten. She is not that worried about cold. Runs around in the snow so much she has even put cuts on her pads from the way it is so sharp and icy right now. I do not put little sweaters on her unless it is really cold. I think she is much more of the tomboy type anyway.  She always wants to carry something out with her.  

FIONA looking cute. Her ears are always up.

FIONA Oh, we wish it was warm so we could burn a little dog energy off outside in the yard. Being stuck in the house is not fun, Luckily she likes her variety  of toys and chews. She has been a very good girl not chewing up things she should not.

FIONA We have had this little squirt hanging with us for 3 weeks now. She came up from Alabama on Jan. 26th and we brought her to our home Feb 1st.  She is young and active. She is a tiny almost 8 pounds of the energizer bunny.  If you do not have the patience and desire to train and help entertain a puppy-like dog she will not be for you.   If you have a sense of humor, she will keep you laughing. She loves to play. Play can be with toys, another tolerant dog or her human. She wants to be a part of what you are up to and even gets her tiny feet stepped on from time to time because she is underfoot. She will be a very devoted buddy who will make it her mission to be your sidekick. With her luxating patella issue, it was stated by someone that she belongs in a "gentle" house. Umm, that I would say is not the case. She flies around the house and yard. Leaps on and off furniture. She tires our pet sitter out with 20 minutes of fetch when she visits. Loves nothing mor
