Brandy

Brandy is spayed and 11yrs old (you'd never know it) and 35lbs. She is a princess. Loves attention but doesn't like to be croweded. Cuddling has to be on her terms which is almost always. She loves sitting with her head resting on your lap while you watch tv and pet her head between her ears. Her ears love being rubbed. Loves to be petted for hours if you have the time. She will let you know when she has to go potty and be ready to let her out when she tells you or you may clean up an accident. She is house broken but occasionally doesn't give much notice that she needs to go. Also if she gets excited like when you first come home she needs to be let out right away. Brandy had back surgery sometime in 2001 I believe. She jumped off the sofa when the doorbell rang and drug her back legs behind her. She didn't know that her back end was paralyzed. We took her to U of P on the advice of our Vet. She had emergency surgery to repair a herniated disc in her back. She recovered very well but this is what led to her having accidents. As I said she is house broken and she does not like having accidents in the house. Let her out frequently and encourager her to walk around since this helps her to move everything the way it should. She sometimes walks outside while she is going potty. While she loves to be petted you must remember that her back is sensitve. You can pet gently but if you put to much pressure on her back she will turn her head and flee nip at you to let you know not to do that. She takes treats from your hand very lady like, very gentle. Her feet are very sensitive. She will let you dry her feet if she gets them wet (she thinks she's a cat and doesn't like getting wet) but don't think you can clipp her nails by yourself. I have pampered her and on rainy days I would hold an umbrella over her so she wouldn't get wet. I know, a bit much, but I love her and would do anything for her. She also likes to sleep on something cushy like my bed. This is a courtsey posting. If you would like to meet Brandy call Beacon and we can set up an appointment.
