Here's the little dog that was not expected to get about so very well of her own steam. First, this sweet puppy wrestled and played standing on her forelimbs whilst sitting on her hind legs. Then, she grew stronger and began walking, trotting and galloping all over the show. Next (much to everyones surprise) she took on stairs without ever looking back. Up the staircase. And down the stairs. All the other dogs were doing it, so.
This brings us to Saturday night, also known as pizza night at her foster home. Somehow the dogs know when the call has been made for placing our order. Wee Mercy asked to join her friends on the couch. Alright, girlie...she is gently lifted up and onto her pillow which designates her usual spot.
Turns out she wasn't interested in snuggle time at all. She wants pizza. And she wants it now. Wait one minute. What is this?
The dog is not supposed to be able to stand up unassisted in such a way. Those two legs alone cannot possibly support her 25 pounds. Or can they? Turn your back for one minute and this is what happens. Just have a look at those muscles, why don't you. There is nothing that holds this boxer dog back. We will not be surprised when one day we walk into the living room only to find she has put herself onto her sofa cushion all by herself. It's coming. Go Mercy!
Now. Where is that delivery guy? And, where's my damn pepperoni?!
