My story

　　Hello, my name is Jasmine. My "mom" of 12 and half years had to go into a nursing home and I was surrendered to NBRAN. I traveled from upstate NY to TN. I am housebroken(always lived indoors), spayed, heartworm free and up to date on vaccines. I recently had my teeth cleaned and two upper molars on each side pulled and my ears treated with medicine that works for 6-10 days. I got an At from the vet on Jan 30. (gums healed and ear canals clear). I may be a senior but I am very strong and I don't much like a leash. I have a beautiful Brittany run which I use to check out the big back yard at my foster mom;s house. I do have trouble hearing but it is a little better and I don't see real clearly as I have cataracts. I never get on furniture even if I am invited but I do like a cushy dog bed, one in the living room and one in the bedroom near my person's bed. I sleep all night. I am not crate trained but I do not tear stuff up and do not counter surf. I am respectful of other dogs and love to play chase with my foster mom's grand dog. I don't think I ever met a cat so who knows, but my neighbors very tiny dog became my friend. Jasmine can be very anxious and takes composure pro to cal her down(she paces around a lot when she is anxious). She has a heart murmur left chamber, vision and hearing loss. She isn't concentrating her urine although kidneys appear healthy. She drinks a lot of water and goes out about every 2 to 3 hours. Water is taken up at night and she sleeps 7-8 hr without having to go out. She does not bark very much and runs to the door when she needs to go out. We are working on hand signals for sit command for treats and for leash but not 100% yet, possibly because of hearing loss but hand signals are being given. She is currently eating homemade dog food and also a cup twice a day of 4 Health for mature dogs obtained at Tractor Supply. She loves the kibble and should not have any trouble going on it for all food. She eats very fast so she may need a slo-bowl. For more information contact settertown@aol.com
