Hi, everybody—it’s me, Brandi!!! Boy, you should see how big I’m getting. When I run, I am like a rocket I go so fast! I love playing outside, and I found a dead frog the other day and wanted to eat, it but my mom wouldn’t let me. Hey, guess what? I’ve been going for walks on a leash, and you should see how well I do. My mom thinks I am so smart because I don’t pull like my sister (you know who). We’ve been going to all kinds of fun places to walk-- on sidewalks, trails, walking paths—she is getting us ready for our new homes!

And do you know what else? I sleep through the whole night now! My mom calls me and Carlie, and we go right into the crate and she gives us a yummy cookie. Sometimes if she gets up, she’ll get us up too for a midnight potty break, but a lot of nights, me and Carlie are so sacked out we just sleep and sleep-- can you believe I can hold it so well?

I learned my puppy commands before Carlie, and sometimes when we are practicing, I have to help her out. I always know how to sit and shake, but sometimes she doesn’t want to do the shake part, so I show her how to do it. If she still doesn’t do it, I’ll show her with both of my paws—it’s so easy, and I get so excited!

Foster Mom here: Brandi has really matured these past two weeks. She has been a dream with potty training. There haven’t been any accidents--but I do watch her like a hawk. She is good about whining if she has to go too. The pups are in synch with the adult resident dogs as far as our daily rhythm. I think taking them on outings/walks has really helped--they are so stimulated and getting lots of exercise, so when they get back home, they are pooped!

We were outside yesterday hanging out, and she went over to the water bowl and put both paws in and started digging--there was water everywhere. She LOVES anything that has to do with water.

Brandi is spunky, fun, smart, lovey, and devoted.. If she sounds like a good fit for your family—let the Application Team know!
