From the Foster: Maypel is so sweet! She is very friendly and gentle! She loves her people and wants to be by them so follows around the house unless she's too tired. She loves attention and doesn't seem to have any fear of people. Maypel will pace when she's feeling anxious and always wanted to be moving when we first got her, so lots of time on walks or outside helped. She would go to the door to be let out or walk the perimeter of the fence. She learned the gate pretty quickly and would go sit by it but never tried to escape. After a few weeks she seemed a lot less anxious and stopped looking to be free. Maypel is a good eater, she is pretty thin so we've been doing some higher calorie foods and treats to help gain some weight. She loves people food like cheese, chicken, sweet potato and much more. We'll increase how much food she gets over time as well to make sure she's getting enough.

Maypel is 100% potty trained. No accidents and she has a pretty regular schedule. If she needs to go out she'll come and get you. She generally sleeps 10pm-6am but sometimes lets me sleep in a bit on the weekends. She rarely has to go out during the night. Maypel is ok in her crate but it's not her favorite thing. At first she slept in her crate in the bedroom but after 3-4 nights she refused to go in and slept fine loose in the house. She generally sleeps in the crate with the door open, on the bedroom floor or on the living room floor. She has jumped onto the bed for snuggles but hasn't slept there all night yet. Maypel was in her crate in the living room while we were gone at work for the first few weeks. We gave her a calming treat which helped and she was near our husky too which also helped. Now she is loose when we are gone but we close bedroom and bathroom doors and close the gate to the basement. No issues with her getting into things and no calming treat needed. She might whine for a few minutes but having our husky Braxie there is comforting.

Maypel's fur is super soft. She doesn't mind being brushed with a slicker brush or undercoat rake. Her tail is super fluffy and I say it looks like a feather duster! Maypel is pretty quiet. She'll bark a little if she's playing with Braxie or if we are taking too long to get her outisde but that's about it. Mayoek definitely likes to antigonize him and be the boss of him, but if another dog is loud or aggressive she'll back up and come stand by me. She is a really good listener and really happy. She loves walks! We do at least 2 walks/day and she and Braxie love to zoom and wrestle in the backyard. Once she's tired she'll curl up in the shade or on a cooling mat to take a nap. Maypel is a pretty easy husky and so sweet!
