Well, well, well.... would you look at me? I am a real beauty, aren't I? My name is Blossom. I am a spry 3.5-year-old love nugget! I tip the scales at a little over 22 pounds.

Let's get all of the nitty gritty details out of the way, why don't we? 

My life, as of recent, has been a whirlwind! I was fortunate enough to find a soft place to land and retire from breeding. That being said, I have been spayed. While they were at it, I was also evaluated for my knees and hips. I have bilateral luxating patellas. Given I was displaying stronger clinical symptoms with my left knee by favoring it (demonstrating a limp and occasionally holding the leg up), MPL (Medial Patella Luxation) surgery was performed on this knee. Great news is, I can now run without a limp or favoring either knee! Woohoo!

I do have a bit of evidence of hip dysplasia so it's probably best not to let me jump off/onto things. Stairs are likely not going to be my friend but an apartment or condo on the first floor could work for my new home as well. I don't necessarily need a fenced-in yard, but it’s recommended. I have proven quite the ability to escape a variety of harnesses.

I am on Mometomax for a mild right ear infection and Cytopoint for my environmental allergies which caused allergic dermatitis. I have been getting Fortiflora (which is a probiotic) to help with overall health and a fatty acid supplement to help with my skin and coat. I also get Dasuquin daily for joint health/arthritis.

I don't really care about grooming but prefer you don't use a sprayer. That thing is weird and freaks me out.

I would love to have a doggie sibling in my forever home. I like to play with the resident dogs. However, sometimes I get a little carried away but am easily corrected if I growl in jest. Hey guess what else?? I like cats. They're not so bad. They're even kinda fun to nap with. I do like to take a look-loo in the poo box so best to keep an eye on me.

Foster mom says that I can be a little mischievous and best to keep things like the closet doors closed and make sure things like hair dryer cords are out of my reach. Hey, I've never seen these things before, and I am fascinated.

I like my crate as much as the zoomies. Learning to not go in my crate is also kinda a new thing for me, so I need a little grace. I'm working on it. I do prefer a human bed to sleep in if I am being honest. It's amazing being able to sleep in a real bed! You humans are lucky. I also like cars but have piddled in my car seat.

I am a work in progress when it comes to potty training. If you work from home, that would be great too! I will use potty pads if I'm in a small room with them.

I like toys. I like walking around the neighborhood or park. I really like just wandering around the yard. I like Nylabones! I love snuggles. I love older kiddos (the little kiddos like to leave things where I can find and chew them). I like to hide my treats in the couch cushions. I like buttons on shirts. I don't own a shirt, so I think they are neat. So neat that I try to eat them like a little candy necklace.  I like to hoard my toys to play with later.

I'm learning to be a dog. I would love to learn to be a pet and a member of your family. If you think I would make a great member of your family, please apply to adopt me.
