Carrie 12-064 [1]

Welcome  8 year old Carrie to RAGOM.  You will feel the love, she's a sweet heart.  Came from a rural town in North Dakota and was surrendered because her 84 year old owner could no longer take care of her.  She didn't have anxiety over this, but I could tell that she was a little sad.  Good in the car, just lays down on the back seat. There was no tension between her and my 9 year old cat.  They look at each other, but don't seem interested.  She is house trained, doesn't use or need a crate, she hasn't gotten up on the furniture and she sleeps all night on her dog bed.  I've had her on a couple of walks and she likes that. She is easy on the leash, no pulling.

The kids in the neighborhood have met Carrie.  She's friendly, enjoys being a social girl.  No accidents in the house.  Although I let her outside often, there have been times when she has let me know she wants to go out. No counter surfing.   She's just an all around super great dog with a very sweet and calm disposition, she's happy, smiles and wags her tail a lot.  When I leave her alone in the house all she does is sleep on the floor. 

Carrie was seen by the vet and brought up to date with her shots and she's micro-chipped.  She's in good health, hips are good.  She needs to loose about 20 lbs and I started her on the prescription diet food.  With some walks and eating better, she could loose 4 lbs per month:):)  You'll notice in the picture that her coat is short, that's because the surrendering owner had her shaved because of some matted fur.  Vet says she will grow back her full coat in about 8 months.  Cooperating, sometimes she wears a quilted jacket outside.

I think Carrie would adjust well in any environment with or without kids, dogs or cats.  Fenced yard or tie.  Today I shoveled snow and brought her out on the leash and tied that.  So easy!!  She just sat there and watched.

Carrie will make her RAGOM debut from 1:30-3:30 this Sunday at Chuck & Dons in Bloomington!!!!
