Welcome to the forum Mady and U2 Lola!!! So happy you could join us. It sounds like Lola is a happy well-adjusted girl. You are right to help her remain a friendly family member. It's wonderful Lola's first family loved her and took good care of her during her first years. She's been with you for six months so she's probably feeling secure enough to test her boundaries and see what she can get by with. I've found distraction works well with toos, they appreciate entertainment. My too likes TV and music but he's picky about content. He gets really excited about Rio and Shrek, noise, music and drama. Be creative, most of the time you can find something your too would enjoy more than destroying your eardrums. Sometimes they just like the sound of their own incredible voices. Do you know Lola well enough to know when she normally makes the most noise, if so, before she gets carried away, make acceptable noises, whistles, songs, words, toos like to play with their humans and most can't resist getting in on noisy games. One of Popeye's favorite toys is a toy guitar that plays children's songs. He will hit the buttons and play the ABC's over and over and over. It has two channels, I change it to music every day and he changes it back to ABC's. He likes to untie knots in leather strips too. His absolute favorite toy is any kind of shreddable foraging toy, the messier the better. Soft wood is another favorite. Looking forward to Lola's photos.
