Ever Amelia's little shadow (Mia definitely needs another dog to follow and adore), Mia has come such a long way from the shy, flinching dog we brought home. If Rufus goes outside and barks, Mia may or may not decide to investigate. But if Amelia makes a sound, Mia bolts to her side to join in. She is good at defending her home and family, though. She'll bark when strangers come around the house (sadly, she still barks at the poor, kindly neighbors as well.)
She has learned that she must sit politely for food and treats, and does pretty well with "lay down" as long as we use a gesture (and a treat helps too!) She also knows "off" when she gets in the bed before us. Still loves to snuggle up close at bedtime and there is NO way to stop her from licking any sleepyheads past breakfast time. She can root her little nose under the tightest covers.
February 13th will be her first adoption event. Information is here: August Dog Rescue Valentine Adoption Event.
She loves a good chew bone and that's about the only thing that makes her growl at the other dogs (but never at people.)
Next up: trying to get her used to a crate. Success rate: n/a. Amelia keeps butting in. LOL!
