Questions Regarding Motivation for Adopting and Intentions
Who is this dog for?	It is for me (Sarah) my twin sister recently passed away and I think a dog would be helpful and therapeutic for me.
Why do you want a Pembroke?	I believe they are my spirit animal. They are energetic and sweet. I love their perky ears and how it looks like they're always smiling. I want someone I can take out and run round around with and play with. They are so excited about life and naturally happy. It would definitely lift my spirits to have a dog and its unconditional love. They can cuddle or be excited fun. I like that they can be both.

Will handle mistakes Pembroke makes like this:	I will prepared and understand that accidents are bound to happen. I will never scream or hit the dog for accidents. I will mainly train using a reward based system with treats and praise positive actions. (But not too many treats and plenty of exercise. An obese dog is not a healthy one.) I want to prevent and correct as much as possible, I know its just a mistake.
Discipline:	I mostly plan on being prepared. Taking them out often, picking a bathroom place out and goes their every time they need to go potty. If needed I would block off a space (the kitchen) so if there are any accidents when I cannot supervise clean up will be easier. If I catch him or her in the act I will make a loud noise (clapping) or get their attention and either take them outside or put them in the kitchen for a bit.
Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:	In the house and playing outside. With the occasional weekend up north at the cabin.
