This is Booka.
Booka is cat software operating on dog hardware. She likes to be a part of every hug and cuddle. She will “make biscuits” on your back if you do not include her in hugs while you are standing. If you are kneeling, she will shove her head under your chin and demand cuddles/butt scratches. She enjoys pancakes and early morning walks before breakfast. Afterwards it is straight to more cuddles before nap time. Patience is required when crossing the road/street on walks, Booka needs a few seconds to check around and make sure it is safe to proceed. She is not being stubborn, just warry of potential dangers.
Booka does best with a single adult or couple. While she is not aggressive, she has a small window of tolerance and limited exposure time with younger children (under ten) due to past trauma. She has a very reactive startle response to strangers and children (lunging, growling, barking) making sudden movements or entering the area around her. Once she becomes familiar with strangers, she becomes very affectionate almost immediately after an initial investigative bark/growl. She is amazing to take on a walk, responds well to redirection and avoiding distractions. She performs “heel” perfectly, coming to your left side and sitting, waiting for her leash to be put on. Booka exhibits stalking/hunting behavior around birds and cats, which is countered with re-direction, or distractions with treats.
Booka does best with someone who is able to be in proximity to her at all times. When her person is gone, she will stare ceaselessly at the door waiting for them to return, even if it is just the bathroom. She is very loyal, loving, and affectionate. She gives very gentle kisses and will bring you the closest boot/toy when she gets excited, which is anytime you return after breaking line of sight. You may even have the boot in exchange for kisses. You must of course give kisses all over her very broad head.
In the time I have had the honor of fostering Booka, she has gone from having to be on a leash at all times due to reacting to everyone out of fear, to being loved by all members of my family, despite all efforts to remain objective. She is just that amazing, eager to learn, and easy to love. She enjoys sunbathing on the deck, and getting brushed. Booka, while not brave getting a bath, tolerates it like a proper lady.
