Simona is a tough little girl in the most delicate and fragile looking package!  She gives her brothers what for, even if they are bigger than her--she jumps right on them!  And then the next minute she's looking up at you with those big eyes, all innocence and sweetness!  When I take her for a walk, she walks a little bit, then will stop and put on her exhausted face, like, "really?  I thought we were just going to the mailbox!"  Then you can't help but pick her up and carry her like a princess all the way home.  She does the same thing when coming in the house from playing.  She stops at the step and looks at it, then looks at you waiting for a hand up and over!  However, if there's cheese involved, she hops the step like it's not even there.   I've been using bits of cheese for training, since her mouth just seemed way too tiny to handle even the tiniest milkbone.  Right now, she's in the beginning stage of housebreaking.  She knows she's supposed to go outside,  she pees right away when she gets to the grass, and she looks up at me afterwards because she knows she's done good and deserves a treat, but she still has accidents in her pen occasionally.

Simona is the color of caramel with a round half circle of dark fur right over her muzzle.  She also has a birthmark on the inside of her thigh that looks like a mechanic put a thumbprint on her after a long day of work.  She has a big round forehead and floppy little ears, and eyes as big and dark as a forest.  She looks like a cartoon of "cute baby animals."  With her tiny legs and paws, it doesn't look like she's going to be very big when she grows up, so if you're looking for a tough princess, she just might be the dog for you!
