“Older lady, easy company, barks at the mail now.”
I'm Betty, an older lady who mostly just wants to be near you. I sleep a lot, I don't ask for much, and I'll follow you room to room like it's my job.
Please don't
•Don't expect me to eat in a noisy kennel, I won't touch my food till you take me outside.[3]
What I'm like
Settling in
•I settled in fine and slept most of the day.[1]
People
•I want to be in whatever room you're in.[1]
Comfort and quirks
•I started barking at the mail, never used to do that.[2]
Still working on
•Kennels with a lot of noise get to me and I won't eat, but take me outside and I'm completely fine.[3]
I'm a good girl, mostly quiet, just keep me close and skip the noisy kennel if you can. I'll be right there with you either way.
