Please provide a summary of the “ideal” home for your dog:: A home with another dog for her to play with, our chihuahua is her best friend so even a small dog will work. She loves attention so someone that has a lot of time on their hands and doesn’t mind how talkative she is. She likes to play but walks aren’t usually her favorite because she gets tired fast so other dogs are a good way for her to let out some energy. She is very affectionate but likes to have her own space to sleep and hide her bones, she will purposely isolate herself when she wants to sleep or needs space
