Hi People!
I’m a very cute little bichon pup named Darling Darby who is 13 pounds soaking wet and all of about three years young. (Mom thinks soaking wet is pretty funny ‘cause like most FurKids I’m not thrilled being wet!) But when it comes to being friendly and playful, well I excel at that for sure!
My foster Mom and Dad say I’m loving, affectionate, attentive and VERY smart. I listen and REALLY want to please. Why I’ve already learned to come when I’m called (unlike some of my bichon brethren!) and I’ve learned to ‘sit’. I’m definitely smart and want to learn more. I can also be a bit dominant so I need someone who is savvy and knows how to be in charge. You see, I’m not just only a cute bichon!
You may have read about me as well as I have quite a story to tell. You see, I was wandering around the streets of Orange County, trying to stay safe and find something to eat. I was in survival mode and, though I’m smart, I struggled a lot. I couldn’t find much food and what I scavenged wasn’t good for me. I developed what my BFK Aunties called ‘allergies’ and some of my hair fell out. It was not looking good for this little guy and then I got lucky! I found this really nice lady and her teenage kids. They thought I was cute and were worried about me being on the street! They took me to their vet who gave me a ‘good dog check up’ then I went to their home. Soon after that the nice lady had to go to work so I became a FurKid. Now I have good food to eat all the time, doggy foster brothers and sisters to play with, a foster Mom and Dad who are teaching me things and LIFE is GOOD!
I’ve learned to potty outside and to go on walks and rides in the car. I’ve become quite the cuddler too –and love to give doggy kisses. I like to play with toys, run in the yard and am an energetic pup. After a day of playing and entertaining myself with toys, I like to lie on the couch with my foster Dad and snuggle. At night, when it’s time to go to sleep, I go quietly into my crate and sleep all night long.
