This little diva LOVES to be the star of the show and expects all of her personal assistants to be efficient and punctual. She quite enjoys her routine and will gladly make you aware of any dissatisfaction. She currently expects to begin her day with morning couch cuddles just after breakfast, and to settle in for the night at 8pm when she will gladly make herself comfortable in your lap and catch up on the latest episodes of your favorite shows or listen to your latest commentary on whatever book you're currently into...However, beware that you continue with the pets and occasional eye contact while reading or she WILL eat pages of crucial plot points the next time you get up to put the kettle on for tea. Honestly, just don't trust her around any book, they're not safe. As mentioned, she is a diva and prefers more cinematic forms of entertainment.
Hershey totally chooses favorites and does need gentle reminders that she doesn't own her preferred personal assistant. Foster mom does indulge some of her demands for individualized walks and exclusive bedtime snuggles but she is slowly accepting the need to hold space for other family members as well. She can be bossy toward all of her siblings whether they are k9, feline, rodent or human; but reluctantly coexists with support and encouragement.
While Hershey IS housebroken, she is not above utilizing the floor and smugly watching you clean up her mess for failing to let her out at the exact right moment. She complies with commands such as "sit," "no mouth," "home," "outside," and "crate." She can walk nicely on a leash but often chooses not to as she excitedly explores all of the fascinating scents of the neighborhood wildlife.
While on the surface Hershey's bold personality exudes expectations to be served, deep down she is all dog at heart and wants to make her human/s proud. She values human companionship above all else and is eager to please... Just with a strong preference for all of your undivided attention.
