Really warms up with attention; can be a little shy at first, but not hard to coax her forward. Allows petting all over, appreciates the attention. Allows to be picked up and held. Really sweet girl with a perfect little face, stupid name. Not showing much interest in toys or treats yet. Doesn’t venture outside her cubby much unless being given attention. Gave a frozen tuna pop.
