Favoritism.My Spitz, Kali, is the first Spitz weve every had, but Im glad we have her. She can tend to get angry fast, but she also has a shy side. Kali choose out of the eight of us to really only like my mom, one of my sisters, and I. But she does try to get close to my sisters secretively. She is very weary around mean and can only stand our other dog for short amounts of time. On most accounts Kali doesnt like to be approached and tends to tinkle when strangers try to pet her. I always tell them to let her come to them. She is very lazy, but also loves to run out side, and is a great dog for long walks. She never stops shedding and hates baths. And I always worry because she sometimes forgets to eat. Kali simply puts up with children, doesnt hate them but doesnt like them either. Very healthy, beautiful dog.
