Hi! I'm KAYLA, and I am six years old. I am the life of the party! I love to play, and I am great with everyone. Don't tell anyone, but I have a freckle on my tongue. I tell everyone I meet that it is a beauty mark, and I love to show it off. Face it - if I had a beauty mark anywhere else, who would know? I have no shortage of hair (which needs to be brushed often).
Prior to coming to my Mom's house, I was in a home that crated me 23 hours a day. I can't begin to tell you how happy I am to be out of that crate! Rest assured, I am almost perfect in the house. I can have free run for ten hours and I will not chew on stuff, nor will I have any accidents. My one vice is paper, so it's best to keep the trash cans empty, or out of my reach.
The fact that I don't chew on stuff ('cept paper) doesn't mean that I am not destructive, but when I do some damage, it's not on purpose. You see, I have a very strong tail, so it is wise to not leave anything that will break in its sweep. Oh, and I am a hoarder. I like to hide toys and stuff in the most ridiculous places. It is a game I like to play. There is a little itty bitty problem, though, cuz I forget where they are, so I have to go on a locate and recover mission. I get a little carried away looking for the toys, and can pick up end tables and chairs - with my nose!
I like to rest either on the couch, or on the floor with my fleece blanket. I love to be scratched and touched. I love hands! I'll do just about anything to please my people. Fetch and tug-of-war are lots of fun!
I've been the more dominant dog in my home. That doesn't mean that I am an Alpha, cuz I'm really not. I've never been aggressive. I will give up a toy if told to "give". I am somewhat mouthy, and if I want your attention, I will nudge your hand with my mouth.
I've been known to be very protective of children, wanting to be involved with them. I've even helped change diapers. I'm not a barker unless I feel threatened. I love baths and being groomed ('cept for my nails).
I actually do respond when called, but there is a trick to it. You have to get in the squat position so that when I reach you, we are face to face. If you don't know the trick, you're apt to suspect that I am deaf!
