Osso the Climber

by Micaela Anguita

Hello! I wanted to give you an update on Ossa (previously Jazmin). It's been a jam-packed 12 days since Ossa arrived, but it feels like she's been with us forever. She can already be off-leash, sleeps through the night, knows her name (and comes when called!). I already have a velcro dog, but this little gal is even more my shadow than he is.

So far she has come rock climbing with us many times, gone on her first camping trip, and summited her first mountain. Although she got a bit tired towards the end and hitched a ride in our backpack to the top. She loves to steal her brother's beds and snuggling up to his butt when he allows it.

She is still learning to share with other dogs, especially when they come near me, and to be brave around new people she meets. She has adapted so quickly to everything else we do that I sometimes forget she is still getting used to things and I'm sure she will come to terms with sharing her mom with other dogs.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for rescuing her and for all that you do!
