🍎🐾 APPLEJACK'S OFFICIAL PUPPY REPORT CARD! 🐾🍎 STUDENT NAME: Applejack CLASS: Puppy Kindergarten SUBJECT: Mischief, Mayhem & Everything in Between! TEACHER'S COMMENTS: Class clown with unlimited energy and absolutely no intention of behaving herself! Well, hello there, everyone! Applejack here, and apparently it's time for my first school report! Personally, I think I'm an outstanding student, although my foster family keeps using words like cheeky, mischievous and full of beans. I prefer the term gifted entertainer! 📚 OBEDIENCE CLASS – A- I can sit, come when called and even sit politely before my dinner. See? I do have manners! Whether I choose to use them when I'm busy causing mischief is another matter entirely! 🐶 SOCIAL STUDIES – A+ I live with a Dachshund and a Frenchie, and we get along beautifully. I even use one of them as a mattress! Why sleep beside another dog when you can sleep ON them? I've also got two little human friends aged 4 and 6 who I get along with wonderfully. Cats haven't been introduced to my classroom yet. 🍗 FOOD TECHNOLOGY – A++ Now, this is my favourite subject! I love my food so much that when I think dinner is running late, I simply pick up my food bowl and carry it around. Subtle hints, people! A girl shouldn't have to send three reminders to the kitchen! 🏃♀️ PHYSICAL EDUCATION – A+ Running around the grass, playing with toys, chewing pig's ears and generally behaving like a little lunatic are my specialities. I have two speeds: FULL SPEED AHEAD and completely asleep. There is no in-between! 📦 COURAGE & CONFIDENCE – B I'm a very confident little girl, but I do have two sworn enemies. BOXES and RAIN! Boxes are clearly suspicious creatures, and as for rain, who decided water should fall out of the sky? Absolutely ridiculous! 🦷 DENTAL STUDIES – NEEDS IMPROVEMENT Apparently, chewing everything in sight isn't considered appropriate puppy behaviour. I'm also learning that human fingers aren't chew toys, even when I'm excited. Honestly, there are so many rules at this school! 🚽 TOILET TRAINING – WORK IN PROGRESS I'm still learning where the ladies' bathroom is located. I'll get there with a little patience and consistency. Rome wasn't built in a day! 🛏️ SLEEPING & HOME LIFE – A+ I absolutely LOVE cuddles and following my humans around like a shadow. I also enjoy plenty of naps, preferably snuggled up with another dog. I'm not crate trained yet, and being left alone isn't my favourite thing. What can I say? Life is much more fun with company! 🎓 TEACHER'S FINAL COMMENTS: Applejack is a confident, affectionate and energetic little clown who would thrive with an active family and another friendly, playful dog. She'll need continued puppy training, guidance with her enthusiastic chewing and play nipping, and plenty of love and patience as she grows. APPLEJACK'S RESPONSE: Well, I think that's a pretty impressive report card! I'm looking for a forever family who appreciates a girl with a BIG personality, a love of cuddles and a slightly questionable relationship with cardboard boxes. And if dinner is late, don't worry. I'll bring you my bowl! FINAL GRADE: A++ FOR ENTERTAINMENT, CUDDLES & CREATIVE MISCHIEF! 🏆 Class dismissed! I've got a Dachshund to use as a pillow! Love, Professor Applejack – Head of the Mischief Department! 🍎🐾💕 I will need to be desexed by 6 months of age at one of Scruffer Lovers’ designated vets. Scruffer Lovers will arrange and cover the cost of my desexing.
If AppleJack isn't quite the right fit, these dogs are close matches.
