Bone Jour; My name is Roxxy. I
am a 5 year old, spayed female purebred AKC
registered Westie. I was given up by my original
owners because they were afraid I would bite,
scratch or hurt their grandbabies. I do get
very nervous around wee-ones. I begin to bark
and whine and become protective trying to keep
the adults away from 'my' baby. Even when they
put me in my crate I continue to howl and whine.
So I guess I can't have any children in my new
adoptive home. And, I like playing 'chase the
cat', but my foster mom says that isn't nice.......aaaah
nuts! I am normally a very sweet dog, who does
get excitable when I am in new situations or
getting ready for my three daily walks (that's
where I play chase me, chase me with the cats),
but I calm down quickly if you just rub my tummy
. I like to go for walks, but actually haven't
had much practice at that activity prior to
my new foster home. So, I am re-learning not
to pull on the leash in my excitement with new
sights and smells.
I am crate trained, housetrained (and will let
you know when I need to go out), have been obedience
trained (but my previous owners didn't reinforce
my commands much) and get along well with the
other female and male Westies in my foster home.
Sometimes I want them to play with me and I
whine or bark to let them know.
I came with all of my medical records, a crate
and other assorted doggie necessities. I am
up to date with all my shots (DHPP/C, Rabies
and Bordetella). I do not have skin problems,
am recovering from a bad 'hair day' at the groomers
and am currently being switched over to the
Westie Diet. I don't mind being groomed or bathed.
I would love an adoptive family where they have
enough time to spend with me, giving me rides
in the car, playing tug with me and my toys,
walking me daily and ....oh yes....rubbing my
tummy. Could I come to live with you? I will
love you forever.
