Story
Kinoko means mushroom. She was a stray in St. Louis, rescued by CARE STL. They estimate she was 3 at that time. She's approximately 6 now. She was on a Gabapentin prescription when we first got her to ease the transition. She is a bit of a curmudgeon and has mixed results with houseguests and other dogs. Contrary to that attitude, she has formed two important bonds: myself and my male Maltipoo, with whom she's lived for 2 years. Though she exhibits hostility at first, she won't ever charge. She is not a bothersome dog. She is content to sit all day in her selected spot. Attempts to move this spot have failed. She barks only when a stranger is in the house and tends to shy away from strangers outside and dislikes noises she can't identify like cars backfiring or running diesel engines. She needs at least 2 walks a day and even if she refuses to move. She will approach you and lick you first to signal trust, and she may then be petted at will. She requires patience and a resilient love.
