Dolly is a sweet little girl. She is very timid but loves attention. I took her with me to Christmas at my family's house, and she jumped right up into both my dad and my brother-in-law's laps. She also curled up with one sister while they watched a movie (I left to go visit my grandparents for a few hours) and when I came back she was curled up on my other sister! She also sat next to my 7yo nephew while he pet her. And this is all within 6 days of being in my home.
It took Dolly 4 days to really eat. Sure, she was happy to take a snack from me, but she wasn't interested in the food. When we got back from Christmas, I mixed a little wet food in her and Bella's bowls, and she just loved it! Now she eats twice a day, whether I put wet food in or not.
It took Dolly 8 days to find her voice. She saw a dog on TV and spoke up about it! She has a typical terrier bark...a little high pitched, but not too bad. Since then, she's barked at every dog that's on TV, and also every neighbor who's been outside.
Dolly is not yet potty trained, but she and I are learning our routines. While we've had a few accidents in the house, she is willingly going outside every time I open the door for her. Getting her back inside is a different story...that's her timidness showing, but she's getting better.
Dolly stays in her crate during the day while I'm at work, and sleeps in my bed at night. She does excellent at both.
Today Dolly discovered the toy box. So far she's pulled out 3 stuffed animals on her own, and I tossed out a tennis ball that she played with for a bit too.
