I qualify for the “Senior Dog Program” See tab to the left for more details.
Bonnie wants to be around her humans wherever they are. She is ALWAYS SO happy to see us when we get home.
- Seems as though someone has taught her to stay off of furniture. We have allowed her to sit on the couch (whoops) and she really really loves it but will not get on it right away until we tell her it's okay. Is happy to lay on a dog bed as well.
-She is great with cats. Has no interest in them whatsoever. I consider our cats to be pretty social - they are not afraid of dogs. They walk right by Bonnie and she doesn't care WHATSOEVER.
- Great with kids. She LOVES Elliott (3 yrs old) and really loved attention from kids and strangers when we have taken her out in public. We have not had any problems in that regards thus far. Bonnie is afraid of the vaccuum so when I am vaccuuming she goes and hangs out on Elliott's bed while he is playing in his room. :)
- Has only had a couple of accidents. I believe that she is potty trained and that those couple of accidents were just nerves. Every time we go out she potties and poops if necessary.
- We have taken her for a few walks with Louise (Great Dane) and she does pretty good but does seem a little nervous. She will definately not require a lot of exercise. At this point with the heat, about a 20 minute walk and she is good to go.
- She is good with other dogs. I do think she is a little bit food aggressive and should be separated from other dogs when eating. We just baby-gate her off in the hall off of the kitchen. She has not shown any signs of being interested in playing with another dog. She would be a great dog to hang out with another dog, but not as a "playmate" so to speak.
- I think she would be best in a home that wants a dog for a companion. Her favorite thing is to just be around people. She seems a little bit nervous and anxious until she realizes that you aren't going anywhere. As I am typing this right now she is SOUND asleep next to me on the couch, just so relaxed.

She is located in Omaha NE.
