Bitsy's Story

Location: Knoxville, TN<br/><br/>Bitsy is about 5 months old, 11.5 pounds, UTD on vaccines and will be spayed before going home.<br/><br/> THE ONE WHERE BITSY ALWAYS HAS THE LAST WORD <br/><br/>So no one told you life was gonna be this way... <br/>Meet Bitsy — 10 pounds of puppy chaos who firmly believes every conversation should end with her rebuttal.<br/><br/>You say, “Bitsy, no.”<br/>Bitsy: AROOO-RAH-RAH.<br/>You say, “Ma’am, I wasn’t asking.”<br/>Bitsy: Well, I WASN’T FINISHED.<br/><br/>And thus begins another episode of Friends: The Bitsy Years.<br/><br/> The One With All the Puppy<br/>Bitsy is **PUPPY. PUPPY. PUPPY. **<br/>Zoomies? Absolutely.<br/>Somersaults? Yep.<br/>Random tuck-and-roll maneuvers during playtime? Obviously.<br/><br/>Her current hobbies include squeaking the absolute life out of toys, chewing Nylabones, Benebones and Kongs, and occasionally putting your hand in her mouth because apparently teething puppies believe humans are also chew toys.<br/>And she talks.<br/>Lord, does she talk.<br/><br/>Bitsy has opinions, rebuttals, follow-up questions and apparently a union representative.<br/><br/> **The One Where Training Isn't Finished **<br/>She's doing better with housetraining, but let's be very clear:<br/>**SHE. IS. A. PUPPY. **<br/><br/>She needs an adopter committed to continuing the work her foster has already started. Same goes for leash and harness training. She's learning, she's improving, and she's going to need someone who understands puppies don't arrive with factory-installed manners.<br/><br/>A fenced yard would be fantastic, or she needs an active family committed to regular walks and exercise.<br/><br/> **The One With The Other Dogs **<br/>Bitsy LOVES other dogs.<br/>Big dogs don't bother her, although introductions should be slow and appropriate.<br/>Tiny or fragile dogs?<br/>Maybe not.<br/><br/>Because Bitsy's play technique can best be described as:<br/>**“WWE, but make it adorable.” **<br/>She isn't trying to hurt anybody.<br/><br/>She's just 11 pounds of puppy with the spatial awareness of a drunk Roomba.<br/><br/> The One With the Kids<br/>Kids should be over 8–10 and comfortable around an energetic, mouthy, playful puppy.<br/>Because Bitsy isn't going to sit quietly while somebody dresses her up and pushes her around in a stroller.<br/><br/> **The One Where She Actually Loves Her Crate **<br/>She's basically crate trained and doing GREAT with it.<br/>She's also not a bolter, which is refreshing considering the rest of her personality suggests she was raised by caffeinated squirrels.<br/><br/>And when the chaos finally powers down?<br/>Bitsy will curl up beside you or right on top of you for cuddles.<br/><br/>She's ridiculously soft — like somebody accidentally brought a stuffed animal to life — with those big eyes that pull you right in.<br/><br/>She's happy.<br/>She's playful.<br/>She's affectionate.<br/>She's ridiculous.<br/>And she's **ALL puppy. **<br/><br/>So if you're looking for a perfectly calm little dog who quietly sits in the corner looking decorative...<br/>**This is not your episode. **<br/><br/>But if you want a hilarious, happy little sidekick who plays hard, cuddles harder and **absolutely, positively WILL have the last word... **<br/>Bitsy may just be your lobster. <br/><br/>Bitsy: “I HEARD THAT.”<br/>Yes, Bitsy.<br/>We know.<br/><br/>We do not allow electric fences/halo collars, runners/tethers or doggy doors

THE ONE WHERE BITSY ALWAYS HAS THE LAST WORD

So no one told you life was gonna be this way...
Meet Bitsy — 10 pounds of puppy chaos who firmly believes every conversation should end with her rebuttal.

You say, “Bitsy, no.”
Bitsy: AROOO-RAH-RAH.
You say, “Ma’am, I wasn’t asking.”
Bitsy: Well, I WASN’T FINISHED.

And thus begins another episode of Friends: The Bitsy Years.

The One With All the Puppy
Bitsy is **PUPPY. PUPPY. PUPPY. **
Zoomies? Absolutely.
Somersaults? Yep.
Random tuck-and-roll maneuvers during playtime? Obviously.

Her current hobbies include squeaking the absolute life out of toys, chewing Nylabones, Benebones and Kongs, and occasionally putting your hand in her mouth because apparently teething puppies believe humans are also chew toys.
And she talks.
Lord, does she talk.
