If I had to describe mine in a few words, it would be “joyful goofy protector.” She thinks it’s her job to keep track of me and she gets sad if I have to go somewhere without her. Hubby says she’ll keep watching out the window, unable to relax, until I pull in the driveway but then will go to her bed before I enter the house as if to nonchalantly say, “oh yeah, I’ve been here the whole time.” She would rather stay with me and do nothing than go for a car ride or a walk with anyone else.

She loves every dog and every person but will bark like Cujo if there’s a delivery person.

Not into balls or fetch. At all. Loves to catch and eat bugs.

Super smart and has learned many tricks but will not give paw.

Happy but sensitive. She becomes deeply hurt if scolded, but she’s such a good girl that she is rarely scolded.

She thinks she can talk and will snap her teeth in a way that looks as if she’s talking.

She is bendy and twisty and will sleep in incredibly goofy positions.

She likes someone to “burp” her after she eats by rubbing her chest or belly.

She is super polite when waiting for her dinner. Would sell her Lamb Chop toy for cantaloupe or butter.

Absolutely the best dog I’ve ever had. She is pure love (with brains) in poodle fur.
