Skye Update!

Skye has been doing great in foster care, and she has really bonded strongly to Elizabeth.  We have learned a lot about her personality that we did not know at the shelter.  And we have learned that there are even more reasons than we thought to adopt her! 

• Skye is fairly easy to bathe.  She is patient and does not put up a fight.
• She LOVES riding in the car, as she knows that when she gets in the car with Elizabeth she is usually going somewhere fun.
• She cannot get enough tennic ball time.  She really enjoys retrieving them, and she is also good about taking turns with her foster brother, Parker.
• She is a huge snugglebug and wants nothing more than to be near her person.
• She really enjoys going on walks in the morning and the second she sees a leash she is waiting by the door, ready to go.  She does check in with Elizabeth often on walks and has learned not to pull nearly as much on the leash.
• She has met a lot of dogs and seems to really enjoy being in their company. 

We have also learned that Skye is afraid of thunderstorms.  She does not hurt anything or make a lot of noise.  She just curls up in a tight ball and shivers or hides in a dark corner.  She is still timid with a lot of men, including Jon who is helping foster her, but she does like some men right off.  It is unclear what she sees in some people that she does not see in others.  She is not aggressive with them but will try to get away or sometimes bark to let you know that she is nervous. 

Skye went on her first hike a few weeks ago and was introduced to water.  She slowly gained her bravery and was willing to bounce around in the shallow water, chasing sticks.  This little girl has learned so much with Elizabeth and Jon, but it is time for her to find a permanent home.  Please share her blog with your friends and family and ask them to do the same.  Someone will be very lucky to be loved by this little girl!
