Story
Hi. My name is Pete. I'm a 4-year-old, orange and white Brittany who was born with cataracts in both eyes, then I went blind. When I was blind, I engaged in compulsive repetitive behaviors, such as spinning, barking, and pica (eating non-food items). The surgery was successful and I can see again. As a result, I acquired an additional compulsive behavior; eyeing light and shadows. Fortunately, with the help of medication, all these compulsive behaviors have improved a great deal, with the exception of pica. My favorite toy is a black Kong. My foster mom gave it to me because I can't bite through it. I love to fetch and retrieve and could do so all day long. Being able to see is such a blessing If I have difficulty finding my Kong when it bounces to a hidden place, I'm good at a game called Hot and Cold. I respond well to the command " leave it!" when I find something I want to put in my mouth. I also respond well to the command "drop!" after an object is already in my mouth. I weigh 35 lb and like to stay active. Since I like to move around a lot, perhaps one day my foster mom could teach me how to wiggle my tush to " Nothing But a Hound Dog." I'm not a picky eater and will swallow anything I put in my mouth. That is why I cannot be left alone unsupervised because I swallow things that I shouldn't. When I am anxious, white noise helps me to stay calm and focused. I do not get along with other dogs and probably not cats. As for children, I don't know how well I would get along with them because I haven't really been exposed to them. I walk well on a leash and have perfect recall. I'm up to date on all my vaccines and I am in good health. However, I require eye drops everyday once per day. I love to ride in the car and watch the world go by. I want to please and will do anything I'm asked. Despite my pica, I am a happy dog and when I'm tired I will sit and cuddle on my foster mom's lap. I'm very thankful for all the care I have received. It has been done with devotion by the people at nbran. I hope that soon I will be in a permanent home with a loving family. I will need eye drops for life, and I really don't mind them. My foster mother tells me "Chin." This reminds me to rest my head in her hand so she can put the drops in my eyes.March 15, 2025, 11:24 am
