RAINBOWβS goofy charm is a big hit wherever she goes! She has been spending lots of time accompanying Events Coordinator Susie to various events and charms everyone she meets with her enthusiastic wiggle and love of snuggles and belly rubs. Rainbowβs main challenges in advanced training are her discomfort on various surfaces; she especially doesnβt like walking in the rain. We are spending lots of time working on building her confidence and helping her work through her discomfort. After a good training session, Rainbow loves to have an energetic romp in the play yard with office buddy Pride.
