My boyfriend and I absolutely love her. We renamed her Artemis. She is the bestest girl. She loves people and asks so nicely for every stranger we meet to pet her.
The first day we brought her home she sniffed around and then hopped up on the sofa like she had lived here her whole life. She’s a snuggle bug and loves a good afternoon nap curled up on the sofa. Though after she’s napped she does like to go on a walk around our neighborhood.
She had her first vet appointment and got all checked out and even made friends with her vet.
