Give her a plush toy and she'll happily trot around carrying it, while squeaky toys are also high on her list of excellent inventions. She can get enthusiastic when meeting new people, but she quickly settles into a more relaxed groove. She's a little more thoughtful about canine introductions, too. After an initial burst of excitement, Ponyo preferred to give another dog some space rather than dive right in.<br/><br/>Ponyo's Ideal Home Looks Like:<br/>- Kids, on a kid-by-kid basis<br/>- Other dogs, with a proper introduction<br/>- A calm, loving home where she can finally be the one getting spoiled<br/><br/>Ponyo has spent enough time taking care of everyone else.<br/><br/>Now it's her turn to have someone take care of her. A soft bed, some good walks, plenty of cuddles, and as many squeaky toys as she can carry around sound like a pretty excellent retirement plan for this very deserving mama.
