12/24/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: What’s black and white and adorable all over? Olympia!!! OK, so that’s not quite how that old silly joke goes, but it works for Miss Olympia. She’s a little peanut, shy but friendly, happy to be out for a walk to go potty. She meets new people with a little tail wag, and everyone wants to meet her because she’s so darned cute!! Her leash manners are lovely, she allowed me to put a coat on her against the cold air, and ignored dogs we pass on our way to the park. She’s been shy and fearful in playgroups with other dogs so slow careful introductions to any resident dogs is important. Olympia and I get to know each other better once in a pen where Olympia hops right up on the bench to sit beside me. As we chat about the weather, climate change, her favorite treats, Olympia starts to snuggle in closer to me with a little wave of her tail. Alert and curious as to what’s going on outside the pen in the driveway, she’s happy to observe cuddled by my side. I see our little Olympia snuggled on the couch with her new person or family watching TV or playing video games, or reading a favorite book. Her personality is sure to emerge a bit more as she gets comfortable, but even now, our shy little girl is an absolute delight.
