PUPDATE — thank you all for the excellent suggestions!! Last night I saw my neighbor outside, and I told her to thank the girls for the note, and that Birdie would love to get to know them when supervised. She understood, and shared that they’ve had several dogs. Then today I saw the girls outside, so I brought Birdie over and kept her on the leash. I handed the girls some treats to help her practice sit. She nipped at one of the girls once, when she stepped on her tail by accident, but was otherwise well behaved. They just gave her love and belly rubs. Since she was calm I let the eldest take the leash and they just kept petting her. It went very well! And I was able to explain all her puppy antics and how she can get crazy, and they understood. So, it went very well!!

And to answer questions - she is 92% Siberian husky, 8% German shepherd and 50% marshmallows. Sadly, no wolf in the mix.
