Hi, my name is Vivian Louise and I live with my foster mom and a Pit Bull named Clairisse. I am 4-5 yrs old spayed and I am so proud of myself because I am 99.9% potty trained. My foster mom always tells me what a good girl I am for going potty outside.  

 

My foster sister is a pest because she always wants to sleep and cuddle with me. I let her because it makes her happy. Clairisse is very very laid back and easy going, She also lets me eat out of the same food bowl at the same time with her, I try to be sneaky but she doesn't care. My foster mom tells me thats good because I get along with other dogs, I don't know anything about cats so I don't know if I like them or not.  My house is very quit and slow paced.  I don't like a lot of noise and ruckus.

 

I am very timid and shy around humans, I dont know if I totally trust them. I tend to pant and pace when I get nervous. My human picks me up pets me and talks my ear alomost off  and then put me down at least 15 times a day.  She also brushes me everyday. I still pant but i'm getting use to her. She takes me to strange peoples houses so they can pet and talk to me.  I am slowly learning to trust and everyone is very patient with me.

 

I am learning to trust my human a little bit everyday, as long as she is sitting down I will take treats from her and I now walk past her without being afraid. As long as she pets me on the head first its ok to pick me up and I don't wiggle and I like to put my head under her chin. She puts me on the couch with her and i'm ok for a few minutes and then I get nervouse and want to go back to my crate,  I am crate trained.

 

I don't like the leash or the harness but my human puts it on me everyday and wants to walk me around the yard, she said she will do this everyday until I learn because it would be nice to go for little walks. A fenced in yard may be best fo me.

I require a fully fenced in secure yard as humans still scare me and I am a flight risk.
