Sometimes I feel like the internet and my dog have never met each other.  
When I was researching Airedales before bringing Mila home, I was prepared for chaos. Endless energy. A tiny terrorist with eyebrows. A dog that would spend her days looking for new and creative ways to get into trouble.  
Instead, I got Mila.  
A puppy who follows me from room to room just to be near me.  
A puppy who plays hard, gets the zoomies, steals toys from her big sister, and occasionally decides my garden needs to be redesigned.  
But also a puppy who loves café outings, naps at my feet while I work, and seems perfectly happy just being included in whatever we're doing.  
Every day I read stories about the infamous "crazy Airedale phase" and wonder if it's still hiding around the corner waiting for me.  
The funny thing is... I don't want it to arrive.  
I know she's still young and adolescence may bring changes, but I find myself hoping that the sweet, funny, well-balanced little dog she is today stays with me for a very long time.  
So tell me honestly:  
Did your Airedale's personality stay mostly the same as they grew up, or did they wake up one day and choose chaos? 😂

Waiting for the crazy Airedale phase... and hoping I never meet her 😅
