Arrival Story:
Our first Belgian was a girl named Laika. After she passed away at the age of 17 we knew we couldn't have a home without another Belgian. Naloni came to us from Nevada at eight weeks of age. After the airline, she was shipped on, lost her for more then 24hrs, a very scared little puppy arrived to her new home. She has taken on the role of gaurding our son, home, puppies, birds and lizards. Naloni took on a major role with a recent litter of puppies our golden retriever Cassie had this August. She became the nanny with helping to clean and stimulate the new borns, help clean up as they got older (mostly spilled food) and herd them together while outside. She is just a big sweety to the pups and they all love licking her face and playing with her. On rare occasions she will even let one or two bite her tail if she thinks no one is looking.

Bio:
Naloni is very, very affectionate with her own family, Grandma and Grandpa and never tiers of giving endless smooches and snuggles. If she doesn't know someone and they get near the boy, house or car she gets great pleasure in endless barking until she is told enough. Naloni spend most of her time waiting for the time when we go pick up her boy from school and then she is on full alert until he goes to bed. When the boy isn't home she does make many rounds gaurding the exotic bird and reptiles we have. She is also very protective of mom and puts on a pretty good barking display when someone gets to close. Dad.... well, she feels he can take care of himself.

Forums Motto:
Long nose, big teeth, bad breath, BARK!
