Hi froggie, this girl is three years old and actually screams with human contact. She follows the other dogs outside and is not shy about waiting for her treat. I picked her up a few minutes ago and she yiped like I was killing her. She sat on my lap and licked me which I think is a very submissive behavior. I put her on the bed where my 6 year old and her birth sister are watching movies and asked that they not touch her. She once had a child who loved her and seems more relaxed with children. She acts like a normal little girl except she hides under everything and keeps away from humans. I hope dogs are as intelligent as I believe them to be. I think if she watches the others all getting love she will eventually want the love as well.

At least here she can wander in and out and not be crated. I have 2 little ones who are glued to me and I don't believe that she will be allowed to get in on that but I wonder if she will attach to the six year old or my spouse. It would be good for the child and the dog. I can hope.
