She is a sweet gentle dog who is shy at first, but she has a lot of love to give. She is clean in her pen and can be quite playful once she knows you. Please remember if it is too cold out for your comfort, your pets will feel the same way. Ear tips , toe pads, noses and tails are very sensitive to the cold. This time of year cats left outside outside will lake refuge from the cold in car engines. If you see prints near your car bang on the hood before you start the car. Most indoor dogs and cats do not develop a dense enough coat to provide much protection. Dogs are required to have adequately insulated shelter to keep them dry, and protected from the cold ground as well as the wind.
