My foster parents describe me as a sweet, silly, over-grown puppy, but I am a Lady and very sensitive about such name calling.<br \/>\nI am extremely good-natured and kind to all classes. Even when I was raising my puppies and the servants (umm, mommy and daddy) would come to tend to us, I was very mild-mannered and gave them kisses to say \u201cthank you.\u201d<br \/>\nI am good with other dogs and kitty cats but I like to play rough with the peasant class, like my brother, the coonhound. Foster mommy says I make her laugh with the silly way I sleep on the sofa and sit upright in my lawn chair outside and whine like a 2 week old puppy when I\u2019m being sensitive.<br \/>\nI never potty in the house and I know my basic Lady Dog commands. I also don\u2019t require confinement in a crate but I don\u2019t mind having a comfy \u201croom\u201d to myself if need be. Foster father says I need some leash training but I think he just doesn\u2019t appreciate an independent lady. I\u2019m really a very good catch for being so young. He thinks I\u2019m less than two years old but a Lady never tells.<br \/>\nEmail <a href=\"mailto:lisa@schnauzerama.org\">lisa@schnauzerama.org<\/a> for questions about Daisy<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/miserybay.usanethosting.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/gallery\/12feb\/daisy.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"image\" class=\"aligncenter size-full\" \/><br \/>\nBreed: Shepherd\/Husky\/Pitbull Terrier?<br \/>\nDOB: 2009<br \/>\nSex: Spayed female<br \/>\nWeight: 50 pounds<br \/>\nFoster home: Julianne<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Dixie <\/strong><br \/>\nLittle Dixie was timid and easily startled at first. She was an unclaimed stray in a shelter and she was very scared during her time there. After being in a home for a few days, she slowly started to feel more at ease. It didn\u2019t take her too long to learn that when humans went towards a certain cupboard, doggie treats would shortly be doled out to good little fur kids. This is apparent as she dances and gets very excited especially if someone talks to her and she is pretty sure she will be getting one of the \u201ccookies.\u201d<br \/>\nWe are wondering if Dixie ever had much attention, as she doesn\u2019t seem to understand someone trying to pick her up. She does know about car rides and will run right out to the car and jump in but she acts like she hasn\u2019t had anyone trying to pet her or hold her. She seems to enjoy being carried and when you rub her back or scratch her behind the ears, she accepts it and seems to like it but she doesn\u2019t crave attention or a lap like many small dogs. That could change in time but it could also just be her personality.<br \/>\nTrying to estimate Dixie\u2019s age is tough. Her teeth are in very poor shape and she lost quite a few when she had a dental but she was not spayed prior to coming into rescue and her physical development appears that of a young dog.<br \/>\nDixie seems to be housetrained but she rarely barks so rather than waiting for her to tell us, we just let her out on a regular basis.<br \/>\nWhatever her age, Dixie is a sweet and wonderful dog and would make someone a great companion!<br \/>\nIf you have any questions, please email <a href=\"julemson@wmol.com\">julemson@wmol.com<\/a>.<br \/>\nThis dog is fostered in Holland, MI.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/miserybay.usanethosting.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/gallery\/12feb\/dixie.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"image\" class=\"aligncenter size-full\" \/><br \/>\nBreed: Maltese\/Yorkie mix<br \/>\nDOB: 2007<br \/>\nSex: Spayed female<br \/>\nWeight: 11 pounds<br \/>\nFoster home: Julie <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-27499","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-pets"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stjindy.com\/archive1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27499","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stjindy.com\/archive1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stjindy.com\/archive1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stjindy.com\/archive1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stjindy.com\/archive1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=27499"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stjindy.com\/archive1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27499\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stjindy.com\/archive1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=27499"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stjindy.com\/archive1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=27499"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stjindy.com\/archive1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=27499"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
