Tonks and her brother, Iggy (a Golden Retriever about the same age) are a package deal. She’s very loving, and a good snuggler. She loves to play tug, but only when her brother is involved, whether directly with him, or with you and Iggy using the same toy. She’s perfectly ok snoozing and snoring next to you on the couch for the evening, but would probably prefer a walk or playing more. She hasn’t had an accident in the house in at least a month, as long as she has easy access to outside.
Tonks and Iggy really really *REALLY* need lots of time, attention, and EXERCISE to live their best lives. She is a heavy/nervous chewer, and has chewed some baseboards that hadn’t been treated with bitter spray when left home alone. She can *sound* aggressive when playing with other dogs (excited barking/snarling) but is not aggressive in the slightest. She loves to kiss faces. She doesn’t love bath time, but she doesn’t struggle much.
