I think there’s been a mistake!!

We were under the impression that we getting a dog that was scared, timid, and that would huddle in the corner and shake. However, Kaiah is most definitely not that dog. In fact, in less than a week she has taken on several traits that are eerily similar to Marley. For instance, Marley chases squirrels, so does Kaiah, Marley barks at other dogs, so does Kaiah, Marley wants to run after other dogs on walks, so does Kaiah. Marley enjoys roughhousing in the backyard, Kaiah joins in. In fact Kaiah was chasing Marley around the yard at full speed. Marley goes up and down steps, and as of yesterday, Kaiah does as well. Believe me we are not complaining. She is just as normal as any other dog (whatever normal means). She is still a little shy in the house but compared to day one is wondering around more, spending much less time in her kennel, and playing more. It is so nice just to be able to let her out in the morning I just open the door and she goes right outside and takes care of business; although, getting her to come back in can be a bit of a problem. She is really thriving by having a routine; I think that this is the best thing for her. We are going to start training and teaching her some manners (not that she has bad manners). Although we will probably wait on that for a little while until she is done recovering from her spaying. I have no doubts that she will be a good dog for someone and that she will live a long and “normal” life.
