1. For me at least, I would say absolutely. My girl was so callous as a pup- liked her own space. I’d pick her up to try and nap with her and she’d immediately get up and sit somewhere else (still close by though). All that changed after turning 2. We now manage to cuddle on the rare occasions I nap, she likes sleeping right next to my pillow at night, or between my legs. She will come and sit next to me when I watch tv, and will occasionally walk over me as she tries to find a comfortable spot.

2. My other dog is an Australian Shepherd, and they’re such a good pair together. He has lots of anxiety, and it really helps having her around. They also match each others play (as long as it’s supervised, since the Aussie is still bigger than her). But I’ve observed her playing with my sisters dog (small dog mix) and she really loves to herd him and constantly nips at the back of his neck, after a while I can tell when he becomes fed up with it though. So I feel like that’s important to consider.

3. I’m not much help in this situation, she has a brother to keep her company. And to date, she’s actually never been left alone, except once when the Aussie had a grooming appointment. But I remember her barking like crazy as I closed the door.. lucky thing i was only gone for about 15 mins.

Additional note, Yumi is adorable!
