Hi Sophie! I love her little determined waddle! Monaco does that too. She's very similar to my girl in that her diet has needed work, she's almost the same age, it was a private adoption last year... Almost a whole year already!
It sounds like the way to your girl's heart is through her belly. The girls are pretty much fed in the wild, so it's a good tool. Meals together helped us get some diet changes rolling, and excellent interactions. Lots of chatting and hands off attention. Toys took a long, loooong, looooooooong, time in my opinion. I think the best bonding for us was late evening before bedtime, I let her hang out on my chest, shoulder, hand, and eventually she taught me her kiss game and we really connected during those sessions. She doesn't have the same interest now, so the memory is even more precious now.
I'm glad you're both here!
