Tourmaline

Thanks to a generous supporter, my adoption fee has been fully covered! I&#39;d like to introduce myself. My name is Tourmaline, or Tourmie for short.<br/><br/>As many of us know (and for those who may not be aware), Tourmaline is the name of a popular gemstone that comes in many colors, and my particular color is brown.<br/><br/>Not to brag, but when people first meet me, they always think I&#39;m a young lady, but to tell the truth, I&#39;m over 10 years old. It could be that I try to stay in shape (I love long walks and even short runs!). Since it&#39;s not polite to ask a lady&#39;s weight, I&#39;ll tell you that I weigh about 50 pounds. It could be that as much as I like to just cuddle, have my tummy scratched, and generally just be loved (and give it back 10fold).<br/><br/>Speaking of walks, I&#39;m great on a leash. I sometimes do pull a little bit. I get a bit excited when I see other dogs being walked, but they&#39;re typically more interested in me than I am in them, so I&#39;ll just pass them by. I&#39;m great with ALL humans, even kids!<br/><br/>The only thing I&#39;m not really fond of is being left by myself. I don&#39;t make a mess, but I usually spend a couple of minutes calling out your name or asking you not to leave me alone. Of course, because we don&#39;t speak the same language, to you, it just sounds like I&#39;m barking.<br/><br/>Otherwise, I&#39;m very easygoing, especially when I&#39;m snuggling, and I&#39;m totally housebroken. I&#39;ll sit when I&#39;m told to and stay when I&#39;m told. I don&#39;t really like to play tug of war, but I&#39;ve warmed up to &#34;fetch&#34;. I do like to make sure my human is doing OK, so I sometimes follow him/her to whatever room they&#39;re in if I notice they&#39;re gone. This might be because I was abandoned. I don&#39;t really remember how I was treated before I was found, so it could also be from then.<br/><br/>I love the little treats my current human brings with us on walks. They also use them to help teach me new commands when we get back from walks. I&#39;m even allowed to sleep on the bed overnight.<br/><br/>The bottom line is that I&#39;m just a bundle of love looking for someone to love and be loved by!
