My shadow

Ali is my shadow. When we first adopted her(she was 4 months old) from the dog rescue, she was very shaky and nervous. It was quite obvious that she had been abused. She did like loud noises, did not want us to be too close to her, and was very afraid of dark places. As time went on, alot of scared behaviors went away...well all except her fear of bathrooms and water. She is now quite the snuggler and is a very happy dog. Her little tail wags a mile a minute. She has also turned into my shadow. There have been a few times when I've been walking and stopped and she runs into me. I have to be very careful when carrying stuff as she is typically right there. I'm not complaing as I'd rather have this than the scared puppy that we adopted. She also has quite the personality. If you tell her to go kennel and she doesn't want to go, she will bark(kind of a mix between the sound a rooster makes and a howl) at you and run the other direction. When either of us gets home after being gone to work, she has to "tell" us all about her day. It is quite funny as she will go on and on and on. When she is very excited, she does about 20 360 spins in about 5 seconds. One of her favorite things to do is to poke us with her nose. Especially Andy when he is sleeping on the couch.
