Pickles is a very lovey and cuddly sweetheart. She is spayed and up to date on vaccines. She loves parkour and is incredibly athletic. She loves adults and children and, so far, every dog she meets. She does act a bitt territorial with other female dogs but we’ve never had an issue. Just a little barking. She likes to protect the house so sometimes we use a being collar and that stops it.
I’m sick and bedridden and my daughter got her and dropped her with us and I want her to have the life she deserves. With me unable to care for her, it’s sadly not with me. I love her dearly as she is my little many and if this were a Disney movie, she’d be a little nurse.
