01/28/2017 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Gucci!! This little lady is bursting at the seams with charm and sweetness. She’s previously lived harmoniously with children as young as six months (she played gently with them and knew not to jump on them) and another dog (she’s done well so far with other dogs in our playgroups, too!). She has big, round, wide-set eyes like a little doll, a smile that’s hard to beat, and is SUPER wiggly. She has great leash manners, seems housebroken, and will eagerly “sit” for treats. Gucci absolutely loves toys, and watching her play with them is like watching someone with a sweet tooth on a shopping spree at a candy store. She throws them for herself, is overwhelmingly torn when there is more than one at her disposal, admires them between her paws, and will carry one for our entire walk if I let her…so cute!! When I call her over, she hesitates a little, as if she needs to pinch herself at the prospect that I like her just as much as she likes me, then does a tip-toe wiggle right into my lap. She is truly irresistible! Please come to Brooklyn ACC and go gah-gah for Gucci!
