hey everyone... i have a MS too! Just want to share.
Her name is Kimi (after Kimi Raikonnen) and she's close to 1.5 years old now.
She is the sweetest pie and usually the star every time we take her along on our dinner etc.
However, training her was very difficult because she isn't the sharpest tool in the shed but she has a heart of gold!
Traits:
1. Does not like to bark unless there are unwelcomed strangers outside of apartment. In fact, she does not bark at people when we are around her. I taught her to bark on command as well.
2. Very playful and friendly with kids and grown up as well.
3. i trained her to heel so i can walk with her without a leash but i only do so in controlled and safe places. Also being a MS, once they see a cat, she'll go crazy and chase it.
4. fully toilet trained (she does it in my toilet if necessary) but it took a lot of patience for me to train her. Tell her to "Do It" and she will force no matter what all the liquid to satisfy you.
5. Extremely well behaved with people, esp if we take her out. \
6. Tricks: Sit, Up/Stand, Heel, Hand, Hi-Five, Come here, fetch, run!, Down, Turn, Stay, Manners!, Pou-pou aka carry, go!, Do it!
7. She does not disturb our food and she only eats the food i give her. Not greedy.
8. Best of all, she is 100% committed to please me.
Other traits:
1. She does not understand things very quickly so it takes a long time to teach her something. Short memory as well.
2. Very sensitive skin
3. She hates water
4. She hates height
5. She loves to prey on anything and everything aka bugs, cats, etc.
6. She loves to to make friends and play with other dogs. ANY dog.
Just sharing this bundle of joy...
