Barbie’s foster mom, Ami, took this and it was too cute not to steal.

Barbie’s foster mom, Ami, says

Barbie has certainly relaxed a bit since moving in here a week ago. For one thing, she’s figured out how to get on the couch by herself. It’s actually cute to watch, because unless she’s got a running start, she needs to bounce a few times to get the momentum to get up there. Of course, since she’s now capable of getting up on the couch, she’s also now capable of looking out THE WINDOW! Ooooh. Now I will never, ever not know when a car parks anywhere remotely close to our house because of the Barbie Alert. The Barbie Alert sets off the Dakota Alert (who typically has no idea what he’s barking at), until I thank both of them.

Barbie’s confidence is slowly coming back and she doesn’t hide in her crate all day. Her new preferred spot is at the top of the stairs, where she can keep an eye (or ear) on everything. She’s also much more willing to come up to the husband or me for pets and rubs - particularly at the shoulders or right at the base of her tail. So far she’s been pretty okay with Dakota, aside from the little squabble they got into when Dakota decided to be selfish with his toy.

Barbie came to us on 3/25 and is approximately 4 yrs old. She’s a red shiba, weighing about 22lbs. Her owners surrendered her to the AC&C because their building has a No Pets policy. Her foster mom has told us the following:

She is sweet, but really really timid. She seems nervous around people, but once I have her near me she pretty much let’s me do anything. Yesterday, I brushed her out. I think I got enough fur off of her to make a whole other dog! She is fine with other dogs. She doesn’t show much interest in them, but she let’s them smells her and vice versa. It doesn’t seem aggressive at all, just very scared and unsure of her surroundings. I haven’t had a chance to test her around kids, which I will do today or tomorrow. From what I’ve seen I don’t think she’ll have a problem with it. I’ll keep you posted.

Check back for updates on Barbie!
