1 Meet Laurel!
2 Laurel is thought to be about 5 years old.
3 She weighs 17 lbs.
4 In general she is a quiet, low-key, easy-to-care for girl.
5 But she is also an alert watch dog, and she will bark to let you know that strangers are approaching the house or at the door.
6 Once she has accepted that the "intruder" is a welcome visitor to the home, then she is friendly and polite.
7 "Do you want to play tug with me?"
8 Not much traction on the slippery floor.
9 If no one else wants to play, she is content to just play by herself.
10 "Well, they ARE toys, you know!"
11 While she does enjoy her toys from time to time, she really isn't overly active and does settle down quickly.
12 Most of the time she is happy just to relax and snooze.
13 She'll go outside to do her business, but doesn't run around too much out there. She will stand and observe and occasionally sunbathe on a warm day, but mostly she prefers being indoors.
14 We went on a camping trip and Laurel did great. She accepted the novelty of sleeping in camper, eating outdoors, sitting around a campfire, and having to be on-leash the whole time without any problems.
15 As long as she was with "her" people, she was happy.
16 Patiently hopeful that treats are forthcoming!
17 Tail wagging so fast it is all but invisible.
18 "If I look cute enough he might share with me."
