I cannot express what an absolute sweetheart Miu Miu is—she is the gentlest soul I have ever met in all my fostering. Her favorite things to do are lying in the sunshine or nestling into the couch blankets next to her favorite person. She isn’t very interested in playing with toys and is quite low energy.
It’s difficult to say if she has had previous housetraining, as she doesn’t indicate when she needs to go out. However, since I work from home, I take her out every few hours, as well as before bedtime or when leaving the house, and she has not had any accidents.
Miu Miu does not like her crate, but when I go out, she simply relaxes on the couch. She has excellent house manners, does not chew, and I have never heard her bark! At night, she sleeps in a small, fluffy bed beside my bed, as she doesn’t prefer being crated.
The vet has indicated that her knees—especially her left one—are in poor condition and will almost certainly require surgery in the near future. She will also need a dental cleaning and extractions. Her left leg bothers her more than the right, and she often holds it up. Because of this, a home with minimal or no stairs would be best, unless they are carpeted, as she struggles with slippery surfaces.
Her perfect home would be one without young children, as she is very small and delicate and could easily be hurt. Ideally, she would be with someone who is home most of the time, so she isn't left alone all day.
Miu Miu is tolerant of cats and shows no interest in them; however, she does not like them invading her space and will give a warning snap if they do. She may do well with another small, low-energy dog that respects her space, as a larger dog could inadvertently hurt her. That said, she prefers to be the only pet and will snap if another dog comes too close, as she has no interest in playing.
Due to her arthritis, she doesn’t walk around much, especially on hardwood floors. She has no interest in going for walks, which is understandable given her discomfort.
She absolutely loves little treats, and with her big, doe-like eyes, she’s impossible to resist—they will melt your heart!
If you are looking for a quiet, cuddly companion who will curl up with you all day and night and steal your heart, Miu Miu is the perfect match!
