One
of three puppies Kingston & District Civitan Club is sponsoring for
children with Autism. "At the cute age of 8 weeks, Foxy came to us. Since
she's been with us in our home she's won the hearts of everyone she meets
with her deep brown eyes and shiny black nose. Foxy is an inquisitive puppy
who loves to say hi to people on her outings. They are amazed at what she
knows already, in addition to her basic obedience she's learning tricks
like high-five and spin which she'll gladly show off. At home she plays
with her two Giant Schnauzer friends, following them around... monkey see
- monkey do! Glory is her favorite playmate; they wrestle and sleep together
around the house. While asleep Foxy groans, grunts and snores very loudly
for her size. One of her little quirks is how she chases her tail, grabs
on and does a somersault, still not letting go of that tail!" - Puppy Raiser
for "Foxy" |
