Clover

Hi! The holidays were hectic, esp. with a new "baby" in the house, but I have to tell you that we are in love with Clover and hope she feels the same way about us ( I think she does). She is a beautiful girl. Her jet black coat is beginning to show signs of freckles and patterning. Her weight has doubled and she is showing some shapely long legs. She has visited the veterinarian 2x and was able to meet her mom (!), Macey at one of the appointments. She adapted well to her crate/home and to our older catahoula. They are pretty good buddies now, except when food is concerned :), then Ali can be a little cranky. They play "catahoula games" and it's been great to see our older dog back in action keeping up with Clover. Clover also enjoys-- LOVES--running through her tunnel, and over it! And toys! Lots of toys! House-training has been successful for the most part. Clover rings a bell to go out when she feels the "urge," and has been pretty consistent. Her vocabulary is growing: she understands "sit," "down," "speak," "crate," "leave it," "drop it," "paw," (and "other paw,") and "come!" Her appetite and her energy level are always in high gear, and she often reminds me of the cartoon character, "Tasmanian Devil," because she is always in motion, in mischief, or in the middle of some predicament! I had forgotten how much work it is to have a puppy in the house. But, just last night (!) she realized that she had grown just enough to climb onto the sofa, cuddle with me, and fall asleep in my lap. Ahh, the sweet smell of puppy/love. Thank you, A Second Chance Puppies and Kittens, and your veterinarians and volunteers who make it possible for these puppies and their moms to live-- safe, valued and loved; and for giving to us, the adoptive parents, a million smiles and out-loud laughs that would never have been if not for these loving and loveable clowns.
