We didn’t know what to expect when we brought Cira home with us. She seemed more reserved than her siblings, letting them climb over her as they played together. It honestly made her stand out more to us. Little did we know this was just all part of her master plan to get us wrapped around her very large paws. However, she wasn’t our first dog, so we knew her true nature would reveal itself as she grew. 

Cira is now three years old, and we can confidently say that she never does anything in half measures. She must get attention 24/7 or she will use her very, very—and I don’t think you truly understand— very loud bark to demand more attention. One toy is never enough, she needs to have at least two in her mouth at all times. And we always say that she’s a big girl, with big reactions, with an even bigger heart to match. 

She’ll greet you with pep in her step and a smile on her face. If you lower yourself to your knees, she’ll go on her hind legs and place her front paws on your shoulders in her best imitation of a hug. Her obvious joy was contagious, infecting anyone around her with a smile. 

We wouldn’t change her for the world. We love her so much and are eternally grateful to be able to continue our lives together.
