5/14/11: Mama is in Foster :)
Love Mama!
Hello. My name is Mama & I'm concerned about the economy. At last check, dog food was up $3 per bag...that's $21 in dog money (hee! hee!)! At 7 years-young, I'm a real caretaker & am constantly concerned about the people & world around me. I was brought to MaxFund with a smaller dog (MeeMee) after our guardian died. MeeMee was adopted (thank goodness!) so now it's my turn!
Recently, with all the concern about my family, I haven't prioritized my own well-being...& I've packed on a few extra pounds (I currently weigh 91-lbs). Fortunately, I'm excellent on a leash and I look forward to frequent exercise to get back my girl-ish figure. True to my caretaker self, I did some research to ensure that frequent exercise will benefit *you* too! Here's what I found... several studies (by the National Institutes of Health, nonetheless!) show that dog owners who regularly walk their dogs are more physically active, more mobile inside their homes, less likely to be obese, and experience less stress, anxiety and loneliness! Research also shows that walking your dog helps contribute to positive, enjoyable social interactions! WooHoo! Looks like we'll both benefit by regular exercise!
I'm past the puppy-hood phase of chewing, jumping up on guests and going potty in the house. I enjoy keeping company with other dogs and know how to use a dog door. I've never lived with young kids or cats but I'd likely be just fine living with any well-behaved beings. Of course, I'll need to meet all potential family members before making conclusions about being roomies.
I'm patiently waiting for a loving, faithful family in which I can relax and trust that they will take care of me. In exchange, I promise to always keep an eye out for your best interests.
