Bryce came into our lives this past December, after we
had recovered enough from losing our golden of 11
years to cancer.
While the two dogs share being very attractive, they
couldn't be more different from one another.
Bryce doesn't think that she can swim and she is not
too sure about the whole fetch thing, sometimes
bringing the ball back and sometimes not. Very unlike
the ball obsessed, swimming beast that that was Casey.
But she is a world class sniffer and the greatest
tracker in her own mind. She apparently missed her
calling as a DEA drug dog.
She loves to go to the doggy park and play with other
dogs, and she gets along fairly well with our
cat,Abby.
Enough so that Abby decided that she should sleep with
Bryce on her bed. But Abby is a bed hog and kept
stealing the whole thing, so Abby sleeps in the garage
now. Hey, Bryce needs her beauty rest!
Her all time favorite thing is to go on walks. She
whines under my home office door, since I am her
designated leash holder. This only starts at about
4:30 as our time to walk is 5pm.
Luckily we live near a greenbelt with a few miles of
trail to keep her busy sniffing and tracking to her
heart's content.
Bryce is a real star! She has shiny
red, wavy hair à la Rita Hayworth, and Bette Davis eyes—big, soulful, and
beautiful. She also has the perky personality of Sally Field—she just wants to
be loved! An active four-year old, Bryce was surrendered to the Town Lake Animal
Shelter by a couple who was too busy to give her the attention she needed. She
has been well taken care of, and she is gorgeous girl with a luxurious feathery
tail and long, silky fringe on all four legs.
Bryce has a star personality, too. She is equally comfortable relaxing at your
feet and galloping after a tennis ball. We have also discovered that she is a
Rolling Stones fan (maybe she’s a “honky tonk woman”!), though she’s not a big
devotée of fireworks. They don’t bother her TOO much, but she doesn’t care for
the really loud BANGs.
She gets along with everybody and wants to be everyone’s friend. She’s always
ready to sit down and shake paws! She’s a real cuddle bunny, attentive to your
every move and ready to anticipate what she can do to please you. She’s good
with other dogs and with cats, too.
Bryce is a bouncy girl and jumps up and down with a big smile when she’s
happy—which is most of the time! She is also a very smart girl who knows several
commands, including SIT, DOWN, COME, STAY, ROLL OVER, and PAW (which means
“shake hands”).
It’s going to be one lucky, lucky home who adopts this glamour girl and star
performer!
