I love her nature but do wish she'd play a little more. Today we seen a little more interaction with her so it may just be she needs to warm up to us a little more???? |
Although the rough and tumble, over active puppy is more the usual, it is also normal for them to be laid back and not attack every moving thing. My girl Sadie (RIP) was a doll baby. She never nipped or even chewed on my fingers, never bit at the brush, and never ran ninety miles an hour in figure eights around my house. She loved to cuddle in a lap and gets lots of loving attention. She also did not play with toys. She prefered instead to just be petted and talked softly to. That was her "thing" and I had the best of both worlds. Ben was my crazy, attack the toy dog who loved to play and rough house. Sadie was my pretty lap dog who could sit for as long as you would pet and coo at her. I miss Sadie -- she was such a sweetheart!
