-This lil peanut can start off nervous but nothing a lap and snuggles can't fix!
-She's also affectionate and gives lots of kisses
-She is a fan of snacks, sits without being asked, and takes them very gently
-She seemed curious of toys but didn't engage in play
-She loves to be in your lap for pets and belly rubs. I stopped petting her belly and she started gator rolling in excitement until she flipped back over for more.
-She's definitely energetic but also knows how to calm herself and relax!
-She walks nicely on leash with minimal pulling
-Seems non reactive to dogs nearby and may do well living with a fur sibling after slow and proper intros
