TINSEL

Posted in Uncategorized at 11:47 am by Administrator

My name is Tinsel and I am a female, 7 year old, very petite Lhasa Apso.  I lived with a family for 7 years of my life.  When they became too busy for me the wonderful folks from Lone Star rescued me.  I was very confused and quite scared when I first arrived at my foster home as I had no idea why my life had turned upside down.  I thought I was a good girl and I just couldn’t believe I was given up.  But, that is behind me and I am ready for a new family to love.

Let me tell you a little bit about myself.  I love my foster mom and always want to be with her.  I prefer to be sitting right next to her when she is watching TV or reading, whether in bed or in her chair.  I also learned that if I flop on my back I will get belly rubs.  When my foster mom stops petting me I talk with her and gently take her hand in my mouth or I pat her with my paw to let her know I don’t want her to stop!!  It took my foster mom a little while to figure out that when I talk (growl) that this is classic Lhasa Apso verbalization!!  It doesn’t mean “Stop” but actually means “Please keep those belly rubs coming!”

I like my kennel and I feel very comfortable in there.  When I first came to live with my foster mom and foster siblings I used to eat in my kennel.  Now when I see Mom getting my food ready, I RUN straight to my kennel, but now I eat my meals right outside my kennel door.  I am fully housebroken and have never had an accident in the house.  I also have never soiled my kennel as I know that’s my little home.  My foster mom took me to be groomed and I got a good report from the groomer who said I was very well-behaved.  I also had my teeth cleaned at the vet and he said I am a very healthy girl.

I have started playing with toys and I usually carry one around the house with me.  If I’m outside, I am VERY protective of my yard and I alert my foster mom to what is happening.  Sometimes if a leaf falls I have to even tell her about that. 

I like my foster dog brothers and sisters but I don’t play with them at all.  I would REALLY prefer to be an only dog.  I also think that I would do best in a home without children and where children don’t visit.  Remember, I’m a Lhasa Apso and I have the typical personality of a Lhasa Queen!!  I might be misconstrued as a snippy dog when actually I’m just being a Lhasa.  I would be happiest in a home where my people understand and love the Lhasa Apso breed. 

If you think I could fit into your home, please email my foster mom at lhasatzu4u@verizon.net.  Also, please take a look at my Petfinder page for more information.  I promise that I’ll be a good girl for you and love you forever!

I am altered, up-to-date on all my shots and am heartworm negative.
