She;s a joy here.  She has one bad habit,  She can steal a chilled blue crab
abd slurp out the insides in 60 seconds flat which incudes opening it.

*I* cant even open them that fast!

Last time, she fished it out fast from th fridge and ran under the bed with
her 'treat' then bashfully yielded the shell back up.

Can you say 'snap crackle pop'?

Daisy-chan has learned to not startle her or be startled when Aunti Mabel
barks if she comes up along her backside unseen.

Best any can tell she was never housebroken indoors. The fosters had a doggie
door but there were many accidents. With too many dogs, they didnt know which
ne but when she came here it stopped.  It took only 3 days.

She's a charmer for sure!
