Allie, the Definitive Guide

Allie, the Definitive Guide

Greetings. You have been chosen for the critical mission "Allie 3000". Congratulations! Allie Monkeyface Duchess of Central Square, a female canine, is now in your care. The fate of her universe is now in your hands. It is our hope that this guide will provide you sufficient instructions to complete the mission.

If you need to reach me at any point, my number is: 413-265-3704.

Eating

Allie is to be fed twice a day. She has about 1/2 of a cup each time. Most likely you've recieved bags of food, just give those to her.

  • morning (~8ish)
  • evening (~6ish)

Drinking

Allie is to be watered as needed. If you see the water bowl empty, just add some. She is a thirsty creature.

Walks

Allie does just fine with two walks, although she does love to be outside. A morning walk around ~8ish and an evening walk around ~6ish are plenty. She should go #1 & #2.

Do not let her off leash in non enclosed spaces. You already knew that. We haven't mastered the art of "coming back".

Allie also has amazing suction powers for food randomly found on the street. She will eat anything and manages to find scraps no matter how close a watch I keep on her. Try to keep her from doing that. If she does pick something up, and you're feeling like you can handle it, just take it out. She won't bite.

Allie is a pretty friendly dog. She gets overly excited about small critters and will run onto traffic if it means a chance at catching them. She does pretty well with other dogs too. Sometimes she sneaks towards them which looks scary, but it's just how she rolls.

Supplies (only applicable to house sitters)

There is a white closet-like structure in the hallway. It contains all necessities - poop bags, cleaning solution for accidental discharge and treats. "All the dog things," as the internet would say.

House Rules

  • No feeding off the table. Stick to puppy food and treats.
  • She is not allowed on zee bed.
  • When leaving her alone, I recommend closing please close all the doors. She is curious.
  • Keep the trash closed (or inside the cabinet, if that is where it is.)
  • The couch is her throne. She's all about the couch.
  • Don't leave food in easy to reach places, it will be gone.
