**Waiting List **


I would like to welcome Mynx into the RAGOM family. Mynx came to our house yesterday and started off quite timid. Mynx is a 2 year old PB Golden with a fun personality. It took awhile to settle in because Mynx was used to only her house before she came to us. So now everything is new and a little scarey to Mynx, but she is doing a great job getting adjusted!

Mynx is so loving she seemed to understand that we wanted to help her right away and gave us kisses once she settled in. Mynx takes her time with new people and new dogs, it took awhile to get acquainted with our resident dog but now they are doing fine. Mynx and Nova (resident dog) are trying to figure out how to play with each other- Mynx likes to pounce a lot and it is quite cute, but Nova doesn't seem to understand it yet :)

Mynx is a good sized dog, nice and tall and is 77 lbs. Mynx went to the vet and got a clean bill of health, she is a healthy girl!

Mynx follows us around everywhere! as I am typing she is directly under my chair. She loves to be around us and wants us to know what a good girl she is.

Mynx is not sure of a leash; she tends to lay down on the ground whenever a leash is pulled out.  We are working on getting her to be excited when she sees a leash because she does an excellent job walking on a leash. We have taken her for a few walks now, and she stays right on the left side of us and doesn't pull at ALL!!  We were told by SO that Mynx can jump fences, but we have not experienced that yet. We are going to continue to get to know Mynx and I will let you know more later as we get more aquainted!

Happy Holidays everyone!

I feel like Mynx really got into the Christmas spirit this week because she has really opened up! Mynx has settled in nicely and it only took 1 week!We took Mynx to several different places within a two day period. She did a great job interacting- though she was timid at first, Mynx seemed to slowly let people and dogs in. Mynx followed us around the entire time we were visiting new homes, but she also interacted with the other dogs well, and people. She loves people to pet her and showed everyone how calm she is. Everyone wanted to keep her! Even though at times Mynx tends to become a little protective over her FM and FD towards other dogs she has bonded more with Nova (resident dog). She seems to take a little longer than normal to get comfortable with new people, even though that continues to improve!

Also, Mynx and Nova are getting along better, but if there is something Mynx really likes, like a toy, she has a hard time sharing and tends to growl a little at Nova. It seems she becomes territorial and just wants her own space at times, and doesn't hesitate to let Nova and other dogs know that. However, this is a none issue with humans.

Mynx did a terrific job riding in the car to our Holiday celebration destinations. She sat in the back nicely or laid down...she took up the entire back seat. :) Nova rode in the back with her and it was a tight squeeze but they both did awesome for the more than 1 hour rides one way!

Another thing we found out about Mynx is she is not a fan of a crate- it takes quite a bit of coaxing and pushing to get her to go in- she much rather prefers free roam- and does great too!

Also- Mynx loves to sleep on the bed with her FM and FD. Since she is quite a big girl so she doesn't leave us much room :) She also always loves to join us on the couch too! We have not had Mynx around children, but feel she would be fine. She did a great job with the puppy at one of the houses this weekend and the cat.

After getting to know Mynx a little bit better here are some things we think would be ideal for Mynx in her furever home. Mynx' ideal furever home:

  • People that will love me and give me extra special attention
  • People who don't mind being followed around everywhere
  • A fenced in yard- since we are still getting used to a leash
  • With or without resident dog
  • Family who doesn't mind having dogs on their furniture

Mynx is truly a sweetheart and we are excited for her to find her furever home!

 
Mynx' favorite spot to sleep is under the Christmas Tree.
She wants to be someone's belated Christmas gift!!
Mynx outside loving the snow- she loves to bury
her head in the snow and then pounce around.

Nova is only 50lbs compared to Mynx' 78lbs and Mynx is much taller!
