Story
8/13 UPDATE: Ok, so I've ventured out to all kinds of places: Boiling Springs Lake walk to see geese and sniff their poop, Tractor Supply to find dog kibbles on the floor, 2 parks in Dillsburg and even took a walk during Rush Hour in Down Town Dillsburg! What more do you want in life? Just a man about town I is and LOVING LIFE in the real world! 7/25 UPDATE: I got to go to PETSMART! Boy, was it fun! Met other dogs, people and I got treats! Little shy initially, but once seeing/smelling all the good stuff, I could make this a habit! Foster Mom bought me a treat and special toy for being such a good dog. I met kids, adults and even walked past the cats who hissed at me. They are SCARY things!!!! I'm sure mom will take me more places. Such a fun time I had! 7/16/24 UPDATE:I'm making GREAT STRIDES in ASKING for love, coming when called and accepting the open hand. NO HOUSE Issues/ NO marking! I am kenneled at night, sleep quietly and come out ready to "RUMBLE" as I am excited to be in a REAL HOME! Duke, Duke, Duke, Duke of Earl - - Duke, Duke, Duke of Earl - - Duke, Duke, Duke of Earl, - - - - - Well, think you get it. I’m known as Duke, no, not the Duke of Earl as the song says that hit top of the charts in US and UK in 1962. I’m affectionately known by my foster parents as “DUKIE” a Fun Loving "Possibly PURE" STANDARD POODLE 4 year old, 60#, gorgeous blend of white with black ears, black freckled body, black “Butt”, curly coated young man with a Grin “Ear to Ear” since going to a foster home! Yes, Poodles CAN BE BI and TRI colored, known as "Party Poodles"! Due to recent release from a breeder situation, I’m still shy to an offered hand, but LEARNING FAST! I’m OH, So gentle, respectful of other dogs, take treats gently side by side and NOT A MEAN BONE IN MY BODY! I’m loving life with new dogs to play, a yard to explore and navigating a true home environment. A few new things I’m experiencing…. TV (what the heck is this big thing that shows animals “My Size”), PEANUT BUTTER (Yep, you guessed it, Love LOVE the sticky stuff!) Bananas (Nope not my thing), Shredded Cheese (Yep, another yummy), Animal Crackers (Great). My joy for life is visible as I do Zoomies in the home and out! I’ve also started to steel dirty socks, sneakers and anything else I can taunt my foster parents with “Just Because!” My foster bros and sisters just look at me as if crazy. WHO CARES! I just flash on past them, grinning, butt down and grass flying. I’m eating side by side “6” other dogs, NO PROBLE, taking treats together, NO PROBLEM. Steps, NO PROBLEM, Crate, NO PROBLEM! House training, ALMOST THERE, and am learning to walk on a leash along side my foster 4-legged family. Poodles are “Hypoallergenic” with little if any shedding. My coat is thick, luscious. I will need routine grooming. With new experiences, love and time, I am warming up to people slowly. I’m told I’ll be great with all, young, old, kids (that will be gentle), other dogs and even Cats. On the “8” acres in foster home, I have shown I’ll stick around, following the lead of a buddy dog as my security, but probably could be an only dog if given extra time and patients. I SOOOO want to please and be loved! At times, I need encouragement to come to your open hand, but have recently come on my own asking for love! I’ll paw your hand as if to say “Pet Me Please!” What do you think? Want to meet? I’m Dukie, a TRULY SPECIAL SOUL Sweet, Gentle needing time, patients, positive reinforcement to allow my true personality to shine through!
