About Teenie and Tuck | |

|
These sweet siblings are 10 years old. They were owner surrenders due to a serious illness their young owner developed. These babies were doted upon their entire lives, having multiple dentals and all the love they could desire. They are not desperately bonded, but if one is going somewhere, the other NEEDS to go. The same for when one goes to bed somewhere----the other needs to be in the same room. During the day they don’t need to spend much time together.
Teenie loves to cuddle. She will climb up on you and cuddle. She will also climb on furniture and parkour onto kitchen counters if your couch allows for that---ask me how I know, haha. Teenie has more separation anxiety than Tuck and will bark sometimes when we leave.
Tuck is obsessed with toys---he will de-squeak any toy, and he’s apparently broken some teeth chewing in the past! Tuck is also quite a barker---I don’t know that he would make a great apartment dog, honestly. Tuck also has been known to start a fight with a much bigger male dog over a very high value item----this happened in a house with ten dogs and there was chicken involved, and otherwise he’s great with other dogs. But he’d rather play with toys than other dogs. Tuck is also a world-class blanket burrower!
Tuck and Teenie haven’t thrived with our dog-door situation at our house---both frequently pee in the house. I think they would prefer to be walked or have people with them outside in the yard.
