ABOUT THIS ANIMAL:

This sweet girl is the life of the party! "You want to sit down? Okay, but I'm going to hug you from behind until you stop me! She prefers sitting on your lap.

She is quite the kisser and also likes to chew on your fingers, but it easily corrected with a toy or a game of tug. She also likes to antagonize her brother to chase her round and round the island. She plays well with dogs of all ages and sizes.

I've been working on leash training, but being the independent girl that she is, she has other ideas. She has already learned to sit when she sees a treat even before you ask her to.

She sleeps all night with her brother, (6-8hrs). I have them set up in the bathroom with potty pads and an open crate for a soft place to sleep.

She's doing well with potty pads (about 80% of the time) and she is easily corrected to use the potty pad.

She loves to eat, but eats way too fast. I highly recommend a snuffle mat or a slow feeder to help her to eat slower.
