𝗩𝗼𝗹𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗲𝗿 𝗡𝗼𝘁𝗲𝘀: Gordo?s face says he knows you listed your pup as a dependent on your taxes and he & the IRS are not amused. He?s got a serious case of RBF but it?s all a ruse because this boy is as sweet as pie. and loved the attention, begging for it even as I worked with other dogs - he?d lurk in the background sitting still and upright hoping for a tossed morsel or speck of attention. ?Gordo? is an ironic name for this big as he?s pretty skinny and, while food motivated, he took treats very politely never getting my fingers. He?s got dandruff and patchy skin on his flanks, and walks very stiff in the rear (see video). It was sort of like his hips were frozen and his whole leg swung in one motion rather than bending at the knee.
📝 𝗦𝗵𝗲𝗹𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗡𝗼𝘁𝗲𝘀: 5/1- Dog walks on a semi loose leash, takes treats, sniffs around outside, in the runs was focused on 1 spot in particular. He was still sniffing it when i came back. Walked with me back inside and went to take treats.
