Lilo

Hey there this is lyla's (lilo's) mom. I thought it would be great to let you guys know how Lyla has adapted to her new home. After dropping off supplies to the shelter I asked to see the dogs and Lyla was the only one that really caught my eye.She had a black and pink tongue and had a great presence .I let her out of her cage and she jumped up and put my arm in her mouth I thought this was hilarious. I fostered her for two weeks and boy were those two weeks hectic. Michelle had warned us about lylas temper and tendency to be possesive and aggressive even with other dogs. She would take a toy, go under the bed and if we went anywhere near her she went wild. She would snarl and bite and try to attack my fiance and I. She would do the same with dogs. There was a point where we weren't sure if we were going to adopt her. This broke my heart knowing lyla had been in and out of three homes already because of this behavior. Being an experienced dog owner I knew I could fix it. A couple of whacks on her behind let her know I'm the boss and her stupidity would not fly with me. Now She is the sweetest most gentle giant EVER. Its been six wonderful months with my baby lyla. She is amazingly smart and could learn a new trick within minutes. She even showed off a handshake the last time she saw judy. And oh boy is she spoiled. Her and our newer puppy who is now 3 months old get along great. They are both regulars in the dog park, beach, and petsmart. They go where I go. Lyla even sits down like a person in the back seat. She is such a lady.She still does the jumping which is a bit to handle now that she is almost 65 pds, but I cant help but let her do it. Thank you Judy for giving me this wonderful girl. I love her so much. ~ Megan L.
