I have one that looks almost just like her. He has white feet, so we call him Boots. He is diabetic and we like to camp--obviously, taking him tent camping wasn't going to work but he has to have insulin shots twice a day. We bought an RV so he can go with us and we named it Socks to go with Boots. You are right, they are very strong, playful (and have sharp teeth!) Have fun with her--ours is almost 13 years old and hopefully he has many more years to delight us.
