About Dee Dee

My name is Dee Dee (I also go by Diesel - kind of funny for a somewhat dainty lady like me but I still like it!) I am the coolest dog. I know I look black in some pictures but I am a very dark brown color. ASCZ thinks I am about 9 years young. I have some nice energy though for my age. I am a pretty chill dog but I also have some pep to my step in shorter spurts. I am about 50 labs and at my ideal weight - yay!! I have worked so hard to get there - you should have seen me before! I love to chase squirrels and birds in the yard and I love going on walks. I am good on the leash! I enjoy attention and will lean into you for petting or give you kisses! I am not a velcro dog, but I am happiest when I am near my people; so I am 'lovingly independent.' I am housebroken, really well-behaved in the house, I don't counter surf and I can be a couch potato. I love to wrapped up in blankets which is now known as the 'Diesel Burrito.' My foster says my 'sit' is great and I now know 'lie down.' I have become a great listener and can chill out now that I know my routine. I actually really like other dogs but I have always lived as an only so I am not really good at reading signals - ha! I will try and try to play and if a dog isn't having it, I don't get it super quickly. But, I sure do like them and get excited if there is an opportunity to interact. Kids - I am very gentle - I am spent some time with kids 2 to 6 and did really well. I just asked them for pets and belly rubs! We are pretty sure I would chase cats! We have my DNA test - I am a combination of so many breeds including GSD, Staffie, Collie, Rat Terrier! AMAZING! I know I am not a spring chicken but I really am a fabulous girl that has all the great qualities of a dog without being a full on puppy. I would love a family to live out my golden years.
