Hello. Introducing Chica 13-383, an 11-year-old Female Golden Retriever fostered in Saint Paul, MN.
She had her first & second vet visit this past week for microchip, Wellness Exam, CBC, Chem panel, fecal testing; all has come back good/negative. Having much redness in both eyes, these were tested, and the results were good. The vet mentioned that with senior dogs, the eyes may not have as much lubricant/eye tearing. Prescribed saline eye drops to soothe the eyes (which may just be a temporary need). Still awaiting the records from her previous vet to see what outstanding vaccinations she may require.
She is housebroken, knows some commands, and takes treats very gently.
At her previous home, it was stated that she spent much of her day outside on a tie-out and did fine. Chica loves to be outside and with this beautiful weather this past week, she spent time in my fenced yard and did great. She comes in good and even lets me wipe her paws. :)
Chica will do well as an only dog or with another submissive dog. She gets along fine with my male GR, Comet (11-293), and they have stretches of time in the backyard together, sometimes with Comet leading Chica by her RAGOM lead. It is a funny sight to see. :)
There is more time that needs to evolve for Chica and my resident female (Chesapeake Retriever mix) Windy. There have been moments of growling and fighting, and I am keeping them separated while in the house and only let them outside together while in my supervision. They do well on walks together!
She does okay with children and with other adults.
Chica is new to walking on a Gentle Leader, which I always use for my pups when we go for walks.
She does well with rides in the vehicle, jumps in the back cargo area with no hesitation.
She does well in her kennel when I am away from home for work (8-9 hours), running errands, and for bedtime.
I have not yet cat tested her.
Only having had Chica 7 days, it makes my heart smile when I see how quickly she is bonding and is a "joy" to have as a foster.
