I came into rescue with my mama, Stella Parton, and we’ve never spent a day apart. She’s definitely the more confident one, while I’m a little more cautious and very much a mama’s girl.<br/><br/>I like to stay close to my people, too. In fact, if you’re sitting down, don’t be surprised if I somehow manage to crawl right into your lap — or your pocket — just to be as close to you as possible. I’m also a big fan of a leisurely lap nap, especially if Mama is nearby. <br/><br/>I have a sweet little quirk to my walk that my foster family finds absolutely endearing. My back feet are a little weak and slightly turned out, giving me an adorable duck-like stance. I get around quite well, but I’m not built for marathon walks. I’m perfectly happy exploring the yard and taking in the world at my own pace. Hardwood floors can also be a little tricky for me — they’re much slipperier than they seem to be for Mama! And between my short little legs and my hind-end weakness, stairs are currently a challenge. Luckily, at a lean 8 pounds, it’s easy with some human help. Why walk when you can be carried like the princess you are?<br/><br/>I’ll be going to the vet on 9/8 to be spayed, and the rescue folks will make sure my legs are evaluated too. I also have suspected dry eyes but I’m a superstar for eye drops. I’m incredibly cooperative, so my foster family says I make that part easy!<br/><br/>I sometimes need a little encouragement to get started on my meals, but once I decide it’s time to eat, I do just fine. We’re also still working on housebreaking. I’m not perfect yet, but we’re making progress!<br/><br/>I may be a little more delicate and reserved than my adventurous mama, but I have a whole lot of love to give. What I really want is a person who will let me stay close, give me a safe place to explore at my own pace, and understand that sometimes the best place in the world is simply in your lap.<br/><br/>My world is a whole lot brighter – and safer – with my mama...Can we both come home with you? After all, we’ve always been a little team. <br/><br/>With lots of little-dog love,<br/>Mini Zinni
