Learning to read Poem’s body language will help you cultivate a strong bond and aid in settling into her new home, or when playtime needs to adapt to some “independent enrichment”.<br/><br/>Poem has been diagnosed with a heart condition called dilated cardiomyopathy, but she takes medication easily in her food to help manage her condition.
