Eden’s doing very well here so far. She’s easily the most low-maintenance foster dog we’ve had. She stays in her enclosure most of the time, except for potty trips. The wood floors and her overly long nails aren’t a good match, so she’s getting a nail trim on Monday when Gracie goes to the groomer. They’ll just do Eden’s nails quickly at the same time. That should help her, but wood floors might not be her favorite anyway…we shall see.
I ordered her a sweatshirt since it is so cold out these days, and even with the house well-heated she’s a little chilly. She’s such a tiny thing and a little underweight, though we have put a couple ounces on her this week. She took to the sweatshirt right away.
She is an older dog and sleeps a good bit, but she does like to go outside, even in these frigid temps…6 degrees this morning. With snow and ice on the ground we don’t stay out long, but she spends a good bit of time sniffing the air and when the days are warmer I think she’ll enjoy walking a bit.
Her enrichment is all about food stuff. Nothing else interests her, but she’s a food hound! For lunch each day, (since I’m trying to put another pound or two on her) she gets kibble in a Kong, along with peanut butter and Kong sweet potato spread and that’s a big hit. She cleans the thing out every day. Her morning and evening meals are served on the snuffle mat.
Just for fun I wanted to see if she could manage an easy food puzzle and she had no trouble. (Never under estimate a blind dog!)
Just about the only activity that Eden likes that doesn’t involve food is laps. She’s very happy to curl up with someone and watch tv, and she’s very happy to be wrapped in a blanket for a warm lap after a trip outside.
That’s the scoop on Eden so far. She’s had only one potty accident since the day she got here, so that’s fantastic. We’re gradually expanding the time between visits outside to see what the best interval might be, but it is looking like 3 hours or more. And she can go nine hours overnight in her crate with no accidents either, so I think she has been potty trained in the past, and like many foster dogs in a new home, accidents are expected at the start. She’s a sweetie, and I hope we can find her a great home.

She’s adorable and looks quite “girlie” in her sweatshirt – plus I’m sure it takes the chill off since it’s so darn cold. Glad she’s adjusting – she is a cutie and we all hope she finds a perfect forever home.
Hugs, Pam
She is a cutie, and would be a wonderful companion for a quiet household. Checking her out at the vet’s with a couple questions next week, and then hopefully she will be ready to post for adoption. In the meantime, she’s an easy house guest.
She is a cutey. She will make a great companion.
Absolutely.
She looks so cute all curled up in that sweater. She will be a wonderful companion for someone.
I think she will be too.
She is the cutest thing! Glad it’s going so well.
She is a cutey. We’ll find her a good home!
So sweet in her purple sweatshirt,,, such a tiny thing she is. As always I am so happy she landed with you. Not surprised she caught on to potty training with you helping her along.
Eden is a sweet little thing. Hoping we can find her a home soon!
It was smile inducing watching her attack that food puzzle with great gusto. Nom, nom, little sweetie.
She’s a nice little dog Little tiny dogs like her aren’t generally my thing, but she’s okay.
I’m with you on little dogs but she does seem sweet and no doubt someone will love her lap cuddles.
From your fingers to the right adopters ears!
You;ll have no problem finding her a new home. In fact, I predict you’ll have multiple potentials from who to choose. 🤞🏼
