Dog description

Pretinha was born in my house. She is the daughter of my father's dog. Pretinha thinks she is a baby human queen. She loves staying in our lap, kisses and ask for it by putting her face in front of our face and whinnying or pushing our hand into her chest with her paws. She is very jealous of us and act like she is the center of all the love. She also loves play with her toys, but her favorite game is play catch the ball. She's always asking food and remind us of the time of her meals, like a clock. When she wants something she is very clear about it. She points with her body and look at the object and swift her look at us and bark. She chooses when we present her with options, like fruits, her clothes, toys... She sleeps in my bed at my pillow. It's has been like this since she was born. She is full of joy and love, always worried if we're sad and kissing us when crying. She doesn't seem interested in other dogs and act like she is the only dog in the park. She is very afraid of new people and doesn't let them touch her until know them for a while or buy her trust with food. She doesn't like to be alone or away from us and barks all the time when we left her at home. She loves swimming!! It's her favorite thing in the world, besides food. When she realizes that we're going to the beach she start barking and crying with excitement! She is very good at communicating her feelings and wishes to us.

Fun Story

Once I was looking for her to go the bed and didn't found her. I was terrified and calling her name. I thought she must be inside the house since the windows and doors were locked. After one hour of pure agony thinking the worse possible scenarios, my husband found her at the pool. She was laying there all relaxed in the water like nothing happened. When she finally decided that was time to go she left the pool and went to us with the ball at her mouth like nothing happened. Later we hide and watch to see how she went out, because we knew she would do it again. Then we see she opening the lock of the window with her paws and jumping out. A important details about it is that this window was high. She had to climb the kitchen sink counters to do it.
