Queenie has really made herself at home here, although we’re still discovering things about her, like that she’s quite the protective watchdog when somebody comes to the door (not so good if the person is invited), and that she doesn’t just “like” treats – they’re actually an obsession. We’re convinced that the only reason she wants to go for walks is to get treats when she stops at every street corner like we want her to (and everywhere else in between, which we don’t). Keeping her calories down is really proving to be a challenge!
