Fostering Ella

Ella joined my Floody and I on Thursday evening, after she graduated from our Prison Partnership.  As you can see from her previous blogs, she is an adorable, little girl.  She looks so much like Floody that my neighbors have been a little confused!

Here are a few first impressions:  she mastered going upstairs by Friday morning; a little reluctant going down, but she's figured out if she wants to be with us, she needs to learn.  She already follows foster brother, Floody's lead in standing by the front door for her leash to be put on so we can take our walks.  She is very good on leash, which is important as I do not have a fenced yard.  She is a chow-hound and the slow feed bowl is ideal for her.  She loves belly rubs and will roll over onto her back automatically for one.

I do need to work with her on her commands.  It isn't unusual for the pups to take a bit of adjustment from their usual routine, but she will, sit, down, shake, heel, stay and bed just fine.

She is a happy girl, waggy tail and content in her new environment.

Today we will be at the PetCo in Buford, across from The Mall of Georgia from 2-4, so please stop by to see her and our other available retired racers.
