🐾🫡 CADET ZEPHYR REPORTING FOR TRAINING, SIR! 🫡🐾 OFFICIAL PUPPY TRAINING REPORT CADET NAME: Zephyr RANK: Private First Class SPECIALITY: Cuddles, Relaxation & Avoiding Unnecessary Chaos! COMMANDING OFFICER'S COMMENTS: Possibly the most laid-back recruit we've ever seen! ATTENTION, EVERYONE! Cadet Zephyr reporting for duty, SIR! I've been informed that all puppies must complete their basic training before being deployed to their forever homes. Personally, I think I'm doing an outstanding job, although my commanding officer has questioned my enthusiasm for physical training! MISSION 1 – PHYSICAL FITNESS: B- While my fellow cadets are running around like they've had ten cups of coffee, I prefer to sit back and observe. Someone has to supervise these lunatics! I'm not lazy, SIR! I'm conserving energy for important missions! MISSION 2 – AFFECTION & CUDDLES: A++ Outstanding performance! I've spent the past seven weeks receiving cuddles and attention from my foster family's daughters, the youngest being 13. I take my cuddling duties very seriously. No soldier gets left behind when there's affection to be handed out! MISSION 3 – SLEEPING QUARTERS: A+ When I'm tired, I simply march myself off to bed. No fuss, no complaints, no need for the commanding officer to issue orders. Permission to nap, SIR? Actually, never mind. Already asleep! MISSION 4 – TOILET TRAINING: A I'm already learning to report to the door when nature calls! Pretty impressive for a young recruit, wouldn't you say? Still a little training to go, but I'm well on my way to earning my toilet-training medal! MISSION 5 – FIELD EXERCISES: IN PROGRESS I've completed a couple of walks and am slowly learning about the big wide world. As for other animals, I've only trained alongside my fellow puppy recruits so far. Meeting new species will be part of my future training programme! MISSION 6 – TEMPERAMENT & DISCIPLINE: A++ Calm? YES, SIR! Gentle? YES, SIR! Affectionate? ABSOLUTELY, SIR! My commanding officer says I may have the nicest, most relaxed temperament in the entire litter. I don't like to brag, but clearly I'm officer material! 🎖️ FINAL TRAINING ASSESSMENT Cadet Zephyr is a gentle, affectionate and easygoing young fellow who would love a family looking for a slightly more relaxed companion. Of course, I'm still a puppy, so I'll need continued training, socialisation and guidance as I grow. Even the finest soldiers have to start somewhere! CADET ZEPHYR'S FINAL STATEMENT: I'm ready for my next assignment – finding my forever family! My requirements are simple: a loving home, plenty of cuddles, a comfortable bed and absolutely no compulsory 5 am boot camp! FINAL GRADE: A++ FOR CUDDLES, CALMNESS & OUTSTANDING NAPPING ABILITIES! 🏆 CADET ZEPHYR – READY FOR DEPLOYMENT, SIR! Over and out! Love, Zephyr – Commander of the Cuddle Division! 🐾💙 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 Zephyr isn't quite the right fit, these dogs are close matches.
