What a lovely little grrrl!
I'll warn you, though -- they tend to live up to their names
Yup. I can attest to that. Tallulah was fine with everything (except cats), even to the point of giving Kharma plenty of respect and being very obedient to Kharma and Bimmer both . . . and then . . . at about two and a half . . . BAM. I have a full-out, won't back down from a legion of demons OR the resident Fila even if it kills me, no reverse gear APBT, which I kind of expected, given where I live and where I suspect she's from, lol. Breaking up a fight between a 150 lb Fila and a 55 lb APBT is no picnic, especially when one is determined the other is going to submit and the other one would rather die than do that.
So yes, never, ever assume things are going to stay as they are. Hope they do, but don't take anything for granted. Since you're an only dog household (right now) it shouldn't be a big deal though.

This is a good post. Thanks a lot for it. It's definitely not raining on my parade. It's being realistic. I keep telling my girlfriend "She's probably gonna chew something we both like a lot, but it's just par for the course" and she says "I know, I know" but I just want her to know that it's all not fun and games and it's a lot of work.
