I’d like to introduce you to Caly, a 5 year old, 45 pound, Wheaten/Poodle mix, A sweet, gentle girl who has one very important philosophy about life: If you’re standing there, I should probably be touching you. Caly does not believe in personal space. She believes in personal togetherness. Trying to take her pictures was no easy task because every time we backed up to get a good shot, her response was essentially, “Excuse me… why are you way over there?” and she would come right back in for a closer look. She wants to be right beside you, leaning against you, pawing at you, or preferably climbing into your lap. If you stop petting her, Caly has the perfect solution: she gently puts a paw on you to remind you that the petting department is currently experiencing an unacceptable interruption. And belly rubs? YES, PLEASE. Caly is an enthusiastic supporter of belly rubs and quality cuddle time. But underneath all of her hilarious clinginess is an incredibly sweet, gentle dog with a wonderful temperament. She is affectionate, loving, and simply happiest when she is near her people. She’s the kind of dog who makes you feel very loved because, quite frankly, she has absolutely no intention of letting you out of her sight. Now about those pictures…You’ll notice that we’ve included a before and after photo of Caly following her grooming. Carly’s coat had become quite matted, so she needed to be shaved down to give her a fresh, comfortable start. And yes… we know. She looks a little different! But don’t worry—those gorgeous curls are NOT gone forever. They’re simply taking a little vacation. With time, her beautiful curly coat will grow back, and she’ll be back to her fluffy self. In the meantime, she’s sporting her adorable “fresh start” look and loving every minute of being comfortable and cared for. So if your idea of the perfect dog is one who will follow you around, stare lovingly into your eyes, paw you for attention, enthusiastically accept belly rubs, and make sure there is absolutely no possibility of you feeling lonely…Caly would like to have a word with you. She’s sweet. She’s gentle. She’s affectionate. She’s your shadow. Personal space: 0%, Love: 100%. Who’s ready!?!
