Firenze is a lap queen. She is very family centered and we have yet to need a leash for anything. She's smart, cunning and FAST! She's currently completely spoiled, and looking at a bright future in being a princess. She goes to doggy day care every day that we work, and has made lots of friends, both canine and human. She loves to play tug of war and figure out puzzle balls. She has found out that of all the toys currently in her toy box, the best one to play with is the house cat.
She also likes to be my shadow. Everywhere I go, there she is, too. She has learned lots of "tricks", like "phooey" (drop whatever is in her mouth) "leave it" (don't touch and then look at handler), "sit", "down", "stand", and each of those from the other position, like down from stand, sit from stand, sit from down, stand from down stand from sit, stand from down. She can navigate our stairs up, but not down, our stairs are very steep, and must be conquered by all who come into our home. She is also learning that leash is a good thing and how to chew through it (Oops!) She comes to her name, and has since she arrived, known how to come when called (thank you Celeste and Péter).
She sleeps during car rides and adores going in her kennel and not coming out (Oops!). She also loves to run!
She has a family farm that she lives on and protects, complete with rabbits, which she ignores for the most part, and chickens, who she adores, until you open the gate and ask her to go in with them, ha ha! Next summer we are looking forward to getting both goats and sheep, so she will have some "big" animals to play with and herd soon.
She is a wonderful friend and I could not have asked for a better Mudi to start my Mudi-life with. She captured our hearts from the moment we met and has not let us have them back.
