She’s almost 2 years old and the perfect little hostess: friendly, curious, and sometimes a bit sassy. She responds best to calm, gentle energy and clear boundaries (key phrases include “calm” and “enough” or “don’t do that” 😄). She’s usually found napping in her window hammock, quietly observing her kingdom. We’ll do our best to keep her out of your room during your stay—unless, of course, you’d like her to visit. 🐾
