Cindy is the sweetest, most loving 8 year old pitty around. She's never met a stranger, and greets everyone who comes to my door with kisses and a furiously wagging tail. She's never gotten into anything in the house, never destroyed anything, and always asks to go outside to do her business.
She loves walks, even though they last only 10-20 minutes because of her age. She loves food, all food, and will never say no to a treat (especially a dental treat. You've never met a dog so obsessed with dental hygiene). Aside from walks, her favorite thing to do is snuggle up next to you wherever you are.
Unfortunately, Cindy can't live with other animals. She's not aggressive, but she is fearful and reactive. I've tried so many different techniques and methods and trainers (even an animal psychic), but they've all said the same thing: she has to be the only dog in the house.
