In the past two days (give or take about 6 hours), I've learned a few things about this Dog I was given for the night.
1) She doesn't like closed doors.
2) She doesn't bark. At least not when I could hear it. She whimpers.
3) She SNORES. Loudly.
4) She will NOT go to the bathroom anywhere at all on the property, so she MUST be taken on a walk twice a day.
5) She dislikes short leashes. Big Time. I shorted the leash when we got to a busy road and she came to a dead stop and wouldn't move again until I released the slack. The Brat.
6) She has no interest at all in the following: Vehicles, People Food, trash, toys, Orange Juice, other dogs, and slippers.
7) She does like dog treats, Maxximum Dog Chow for Adults, and being outside.
8) She likes Dawnlight walks but will take a walk whenever she can.
9) It took me one walk to get it through her head that I walk s-l-o-w. I do not run.
10) She knows what an RV is and makes a beeline for Mom and Dad's RV whenever she can.
11) She's getting used to being called "Tootsie" but still doesn't actually listen to me.
12) She's trained to hand gestures, not Spoken-Only commands.
13) She was NOT a person's Guide Dog of any sort.
14) She doesn't do furniture. As in sleep on, scratch on, look at.
