Baroness: a lady of quality, noblewoman

Banta is definitely a lady of quality. When she first came to us at eight weeks old she had the hardest time going to sleep on a hard surface. She seemed like the princess and the pea, the softer the surface the better.  When you asked her to lay on a hard floor she would just look at you like “you must be kidding, I can’t possible lay-down on that.” As a grown-up puppy Banta learned to appreciate the virtues of hard surfaces, especially in the heat of summer. She now has no problem curling up to wait in a meeting even if the floor is wood or tile.
