My friend, the one who gave me Zody, now has the sweetest toy poodle around. She got her from her granddaughter who just gave birth to a baby, and is supposedly going to keep her for around a month. The dog's name is Delilah, and she's around 8 years old. That's the good news.
The rant is that the reason friend is pet sitting is because Delilah is a barker (has barely barked since friend has her), kids 2 yr old, 5 year old, and 7 year old, pester her, husband can't stand her, well now that's probably why she was barking so much. She spent most of her time hiding under the bed. Delilah is skin and bones, I guess granddaughter was to busy to notice? She's also nervous if you move your foot towards her, from what friend says they'd stamp their feet at her to get her to move. She's wary of brooms, I was told she'd been swatted with one. Why??? Why do that to such a sweet dog?!?! Honestly she just wants to cuddle, so far she has excellent house manners. I suspect it was the barking but that's their fault, if she's as stressed at that house as I imagine. Uggghhhh I hate to see any dog cringe like she does, but I really hate it when the dogs such a sweetheart. I really hope that the granddaughter decides to let my friend keep her. She'll get lots of love, not be harassed, and won't live in fear.
