Hello World!
My name is Magical and Merry Maisie and I’m a happy and adorable little Bichon of about six years old who weighs 14 pounds. My foster Mom says I’m a very cute little girl who loves everyone – two and four-legged alike. I’m a cuddler and a lover but also a very playful little munchkin. And I’m simply adorable. And did I mention friendly and cute?
My Moms say I do the cutest thing. It goes like this: When I get really happy (and I’m happy most of the time) I flop on my back for a belly rub. Or to get your attention I will run ahead of you and flop on my back for attention. I’m irresistible so, of course, I get my belly rubbed!
My Aunties say that I’m a major snuggler – as well as incredibly sweet and eager to please! I’m also housebroken, come when I’m called, outstanding in the car, amazing at going for walks and a great companion (think Velcro)!
At the scary shelter someone noted that I had been ‘neglected’. Now that was an understatement! They put me on a list to go to heaven the next day! I had a bad cough, multiple mammary masses and needed a dental. That was all true — but what I was mostly in need of was someone who cared for me and would take care of me. That’s when I got really lucky and became a FurKid! My foster Moms helped me to feel better and more confident and BFK took care of all my medical needs. With love, doggy foster ‘siblings’ and wonderful foster Moms to guide me, I have blossomed! (Silly me. I’m not a flower – I’m a FurKid!)
It’s likely that I didn’t get to experience truly being a puppy – so I’m making up for it now. There’s a little 6 month old terrier puppy that lives down the street. When we get together it’s all play! I might even be able to wear him out!
I’m always good company and only the bestest home will be the right one for me. I’m calm and sweet with the little ones called children and great with the ones called adults. I would be happiest in a home with people who are home most of the time so I can entertain, love and snuggle with them. Another FurKid or children would be really nice for me, too.
So if you want a loving companion, like to go on walks and rides and to snuggle, please ask for me. I’ll be waiting to meet and adore you.
Tail wags and kisses
Merry and Mesmerizing Maisie
My foster Mom says I love to PLAY! Toys are my favorites – but please make them ‘big boy toys’, as I get very ambitious when it comes to playing. I ‘kind of’ understand the concept of Fetch but am still working on the bringing the ball back part. (On the other hand Dad is really good at that part!)
Dad wants you to also know that I’m smart and have mastered a number of commands (and can learn more!) I know to come when I’m called, I know “Down”, “Good Boy” and “No”. Since I’m still a puppy and a bit mouthy I also know the command “No Bite” (but I haven’t bitten anyone, honest!)
My name is Lovable Leo and my BFK Aunties want me to introduce myself because I’m a pretty spectacular pup. Now I’m absolutely not bragging (I would never, ever do that) however everyone that meets me says so!
Did I mention that I’m about three years old and cuddle sized at 17 pounds? I’m loyal, attentive, communicative and smart (more on that in a minute) — and eager to please. Although I’m shy initially (please take it slow at first) I’m GREAT with people and children once I get to know them. And I love other dogs, especially ones about my size! I get so excited to see other pups and can’t wait to “engage.”
One day, not so very long ago, my ‘original’ mom and dad had to move away – so they told me to be a brave boy and they took me to a shelter. They had me groomed and I looked very handsome – but no one came to get me as the shelter was very far away. I wondered if I would ever have a home of my own again – but I got lucky and became a FurKid. I wasn’t sure about the car ride at first because I didn’t know where I was going. But my foster Mom and Dad are really nice and very kind, so I started to relax.
When I got to my foster home the very best thing happened: there was another FurKid there. And I found a new buddy. His name is Bowie. Mom swears that I ‘talk’ to him – then we both wag our tails. She says that I am always gentle when I play with Bowie (He’s taller and younger than I am) but if you asked Bowie he’d say I’m always gentle and patient no matter what we are doing.
And, according to Mom, I am the bestest and most loyal buddy she has ever known. She says I follow her throughout the house, quietly basking in her company. Then, when it’s dark, I go to the bedroom, walk over to the bed and stare at it – then up at Mom. Since Mom’s smart she figured out that I was asking if it’s time to go to sleep. And when she says yes, then I settle in for the night in the Big People’s Bed without another sound. I am, however, a bit of a bedhog – but a very cute one!
Another thing that makes me extra special is my ability to adapt. You see I’m very social and like everyone I meet. Mom said I’m a kind of social butterfly (but I’m really not a butterfly, silly Mom!) Whether it’s meeting new people on our walks and trips to the store or when friends come over (they are called company) I love being with people. You see they talk to me or pet me then I look into their eyes and presto! it’s love.
I am also a snuggler. I like to snuggle with people – and that there is nothing I would rather do that curl up in your lap and rest my head on your shoulder. Mom says that makes me irresistible. I’m also compassionate. Why when my doggy foster brother was injured I would lie down in the bed and comfort him so he would feel better.
Mom says I also know how to do a lot of ‘useful’ things. For example, I know some commands, walk beautifully on a leash and mastered the doggy door the first day! How’s that for smart? (And how happy that makes mom too! She says I’m such a good girl.)
Did I mention that I LOVE to go for walks (even though I’m little I can walk for a mile and enjoy it!) and I LOVE to go for rides!? Dad says that people approach me because I’m so friendly, cute and calm! And because I’m so little (about nine pounds) you can take me anywhere!
Dad says you may have heard about my story and that I’m somewhat famous. You see, I had these ginormous bladder stones that had to be removed. They weighed more than one pound and that’s really a lot! Well I had that surgery and am happy to say I feel great now! And there is no doubt that I was a trooper through it all! The only needs I have now are to be loved and to spend lots of time with my humans.
