Well now, today Neena was in a mood! We went for an early walk, and when we came home, she was all fired up, and went from me to Lamar, to the cat, to my husband, back to me, trying to get all of us to play with her. Lol. So it could depend on the mood of New Dog whether it will want to be close to you. Lol. Blessings, Debby
