Sasha is a shy, sweet, dainty little dog with the most beautiful set of eyes who was afraid of everything. She was scared of loud noises and stuffed toys. She was even afraid of the soft comfy bed that her humans bought her. She also had a strange habit. She would pee everywhere — in the kitchen, in the bedroom, on the balcony, in the study.
