Butterscotch or Butters as we call her has just arrived on July 23rd. She is a very quiet, friendly dog who loves attention and affection. She seems to be settling in well. The first 2 days she mainly slept and wouldn't eat, but with a special hamburger rice mixture she started to eat. She now eats her dry dog food. She's now more alert and not sleeping as much, but still sleeping a lot. After all she is 11 so that's expected. She's had no accidents in my apt and goes outside readily. She does well left by herself without any crate.She prefers laying on the floor by the couch. She hasn't gone on any furniture either. She walks well on a leash when we've gone for short walks. We haven't run into any dogs or people yet to see how she'd react to them. She hasn't seen the vet yet,but we're in the process of arranging that. They'll be addressing her injury to her left eye with possible blindness there,the large amount of tartar on her teeth and the possibility of Cushing's disease. Updates to follow. I'm a senior citizen and so far I feel that this is a great dog for a senior since she's so quiet and laid back.
