Yoshi's girlfriend

This is Yoshi's adorable girlfriend. We stop by her house every morning on our walk so that the two of them can exchange doggie kisses and play for a little while. She has really been good for Yoshi, who has never been that great with other dogs. He gets a little territorial, a little scared and sometimes shy. Sometimes when other dogs start jumping around, trying to initiate play, Yoshi will take a step back look up at me and start tugging his leash in the opposite direction.

So since he met his little girlfriend, he has become a lot more socialized. But he still runs away from her pretty quickly. He gets overwhelmed easily.

For the last year or so I've been wanting to get another dog for Yoshi because I've heard it will add years to an animal's life if they have a partner. But I've finally decided that Yoshi is pretty much an only child; he functions best that way. And I think our daily visits to his girlfriend are giving him a little pep in his step, adding plenty of years to his life.

I had wondered what she looked like when you wrote about her a while back. She is adorable! What a nice looking young gal!

Thanks! She is the sweetest thing. It's tough trying to take photos of her because she jumps around a lot. : ) I love seeing her every morning too. It's a chance for me to give her a hug. She is a great snuggler.
