Hi my name is TY and I'm a ten month old handsome dude as you can see by my pictures. Do you like my cool topknot? I'm a puppy and I looove to do puppy things - jump and play with tennis balls, run and play with people, and other fun stuff, but as you might have pick up from my pictures, I'm lacking some groceries on my body. My dog-ter said I need to gain about ten pounds (and that's just for starters), and then I should start feeling more like playing and not get so tired so fast, and not lose my balance as easily, either. For now, I'm suppose to play a little, eat well, and rest a lot to get stronger. My foster home is feeding me several small meals a day just to help my body gain the much needed weight - and I lick the bowl clean every time!
I do get spooked easily and will start barking at things that are scary to me. Even the grooming tools my foster mom brought out to groom me were scary! I need to be reassured that it's okay and introduced to many different situations so I become comfortable. Today, we went for a ride to the vets office. My foster mom says I did just fine, and I got some treats (Yummy! More food!!).
I haven't meet the resident dogs, yet. I'm getting a few more days of rest before that happens. Meanwhile, I have been hanging out with the human kids and have been trying to play nice. Sometimes I forget and I get a little rambunctious! With time, patience, and some obedience training, I just know I'll make a great companion!
Well, I'm going to take a nap now because I'm tuckered out, but check back later for updates!
