Things You Should Know About Chloe

Chloe has been at my house for a grand total of three hours!



Things You Should Know About Chloe's History

• The previous custodians of Chloe called her Poncho. That, my dear readers, is something you wear when it rains, not something you name the most awesome of puppies. Chloe is something you name a cute cow, a species that happens to be number two on my most favorite species list. Chloe does not know her name yet, but as you shall see, she is practicing cow-hood.
• Chloe likes to play. She is four months old. Her previous custodians left her alone with a tiny, baby bunny. She tried to play with the bunny. The bunny did not survive.
• The previous custodians of Chloe beat her because of the rabbit incident. Chloe is a little concerned when you touch her bottom, where she was "spanked" repeatedly. Chloe also submissively urinates. On your pant leg, if you're me.
• Chloe was dropped off at the shelter because of the rabbit incident. The shelter, by county law, was required to kill Chloe unless a rescue would take her. This is how I - who vowed NOT to do a puppy as my second foster dog - ended up with a puppy as my second foster dog.

Things You Should Know Chloe Likes to Put In Her Mouth

• Toys = good!
• Hands = bad!
• Sofa cushions = omg stop!
• Camera lenses = triple bad
• Plants = bad unless being photographed
• Those little cylindrical preservation devices that would probably kill a Chloe if she swallowed it
• Dog food = excellent!

Things You Should Know About Chloe's Intelligence

• She's super smart.
• She learned "watch me"in like five minutes. No command connected yet, but she loves gazing deeply into my eyes for a cookie.
• Chloe knows sit. She performs sit for EVERYTHING. Since I told her she was a good sitter, she has been offering me a sit every two seconds.
• I'm sure there will be more smart things Chloe will do.

Things Chloe Likes to Crawl In or On

• Cupboards - in.
• Oven - in.
• Counter tops - paws on.
• Tables - paws on.
• Sofas - whole body on
• Laps - nestled in
• Legs - paws on, then sit for attention
• Gates - paws on, intentional grounding of said gate. Horrified Mina and Celeste run away.

Things You Should Know About Chloe And Other Dogs

• Not much to know yet.
• Mina and her sniffed noses. Mina is appreciative of puppy noses.
• Celeste and Chloe sniffed noses. Wagging tail.
• Celeste and Chloe sniffed noses again. Celeste growled. Chloe is all oblivious.
• Chloe does not like gates separating her from dogs, so she will bark at the gate, scaring off other dogs.
• Chloe, unlike Sherman, loves people a helluva lot more than other dogs.
