So basically I’m thinking an ideal home for Misty would be some kind of super-brain female who works from home and has acres and acres of space. Misty is so darned smart and picks up new things so quickly I have a hard time keeping up.
She learned “give me paw” in about fifteen minutes. The other day she picked up [my retarded version of] “heel” and got it so quickly after one walk she was like, “been there done that, give me something I can’t do with three paws tied.”
This morning she learned to jump onto a large log and leap off of it to grab a stick on her way down, and reverse. She really, really loves learning new things, complex games and interacting in a teaching environment. I think she’d be stellar on an agility course.
She also wants to play with some dogs and has played well with my friend’s male pit bull but she does seem to prefer older male dogs her size or larger. She still needs good socialization training because she has had only very little opportunity to interact with other dogs.
This girl has so much potential; I’m just aching to see her go to a person who can do so much better for her than I can.
