I love this pup so much, but man does she test me, require me to be mindful of my own ability to regulate emotions, push my buttons, bring the worst out of me, bring the best out of me and she will NEVER, EVER let me forget her (even if I wanted to).
She is the kind of dog that from the moment she entered my home she demanded to be noticed. At times I would definitely call her dominant, but for the most part she just wants to be apart of the action and in the middle of the mix.
She is the pup that barks and whines when she is not getting her way, when I have given her a command that she knows (and I know that she knows because she is too damn smart and slick to not know) but does NOT want to complete the task. At times she will sit or lay begrudgingly, moaning, and letting out of bark of disgust.
This dog is not easy, I and my family will attest that she is the kind of dog that requires every ounce of patience, especially when you have had a long day. She is like chasing after a 2 year old, that is faster than you and picks up shoes in their mouth.
She demands to be noticed.
And she lets you know how much she loves you. I have never seen a dog so excited to see someone after they get home from work, or after getting out of the shower, or even after leaving the room for 10 minutes and coming back. She wags her tail when I baby talk her, or when I walk into a room and she is half asleep.
She is a handful, pain in the butt at times, but would I have it any other way?
