ruly love having her in our home and enjoy her so much. Meredith arrived to rescue with her siblings (she was the smallest of the bunch) from Alabama. She was quiet, mild-mannered, and even a bit timid/shy. After being with us now for a few weeks she has warmed-up to us and is beginning to come out of her shell, not as afraid of the big, unknown world around her. Being she is small and it’s chilly, we have her sleep with us at night, which she thoroughly enjoys. She curls-up in a little ball between us, always wanting to snuggle – not sure if it’s for warmth or the comfort of knowing you’re there, or perhaps a bit of both. Recently she has started to sleep on the sofa in our master bedroom, so, surprisingly, we may find her there when we go to bed and/or when we wake-up. It’s great to see her becoming independent and gaining confidence. She does eat in her crate and stay in there when we’re not home, not complaining about it – unless she knows you’re home and wants to be with you instead (then it’s a mild whine). She’s doing really well at potty-training, though still may have an occasional accident. She always wants to be with or near you (or, particularly, our resident dog – she loves to lie with and next to her, though our resident dog isn’t always a fan, ha!), enjoying your company, your warmth, and your love. She doesn’t enjoy being held much, or even being on your lap, rather she prefers to be near or next to you. Meredith is really the sweetest, most petite of puppies. She isn’t the typical super-playful, full-of-energy kind, rather she is more laid-back, has bouts of playfulness, but mostly likes to nap with you, get treats (when she goes potty/poop outside), and just be a part of the family. She knows ‘sit’ and ‘down,’ as in lay-down, and happily does both for a treat. At meal time she knows to go in her crate and sit, waiting for her dish to be set-down. She will quietly wait for you to come back for her, opening the door to go outside post-meal. She loves to run outside, through the leaves, zipping around the yard, and playing with our resident dog. She will roll-over on her back when she comes back to you, sometimes having a little submissive or excited potty leak out. (Also the reason why we let her out of her crate without baby-talking or petting her after getting home from work in the afternoon. She does best just going straight outside to do her deeds, then you can snuggle and baby-talk all you want – she loves it!) Meredith would truly benefit from obedience training and becoming a permanent, loved member of a household. She is doing great with structure and a schedule and will only improve! She is a quick learner, smart, small, but has a huge heart and really has fun being around other dogs and kids (hasn’t seen a cat yet, but as a puppy she’d do great with them)!"
