Personality
Paprika tends to compare herself to the other female canines around her, who seem like they have everything. She constantly puts herself down because she isn't like them, she's different and no one would want her. Being abandoned as a puppy and having spent a lot of time at various shelters only intensifies the feeling. It doesn't help that the Saint Bernard is naturally a big dog, and Paprika knows it's not her fault that she's larger due to her parents and genetics. But she can't help to wonder if people would stop judging her to be a "bad" dog if she were a different breed. Something smaller. It doesn't seem to matter how friendly and loving she is, people are still nervous around her. Which causes her to become nervous as well. That is only the tip of the ice barge for what this pup worries over as insecurity has it roots down to her very core, and seems to have an unforgiving grip on her. With all of doubts, it doesn't mean Paprika wants to be that way. Whenever she finds a means to gaining confidence in herself, she generally also finds herself swaying her butt and wagging her tail. Which is her version of dancing. It's just too much fun to resist when she is in a happy mood, no weight on her shoulders. This insecure pup also has a bit of bite to her when she is felt alone all day and confined in such small areas. Paprika likes to breathe in the fresh air, run in the breeze, to not be alone. So when she doesn't receive that luxury, she turns to destroying something inside the house. She doesn't like to call this being spiteful, but instead her excuse is needing to let out her frustration, going stir crazy. Though this does not mean she is an active pooch, she only is active during times when she is feeling playful or needing to get outside. Otherwise she is a huge cuddle bug that just wants to lay down beside her favorite person. The Saint Bernard mix is a great family dog because she is friendly with everyone and seems to be just skittish around other animals. But that skittishness fades whenever her family is endanger. Paprika is very protective of her family and she refuses to stand by while they get hurt. There is a deep instinct inside of her to take care of those she loves as well as to guard them or keep them away from harm. During these times pride often fulls her chest and it is a feeling that she can never get use to. It also takes her by surprise and makes her become happy, as if she actually has a use in life and that she doesn't need to be insecure. Although it only lasts for a short time, and then she returns to normal self. Speaking of being her normal self, she is also a hopeless romantic. The pup dreams of having something special like a knight in shinning armor in her life to swoop her off her paws. Although that knight in her dreams, always seems to be female. Paprika can't understand it but she has a unique pull towards females, little does she that it could be a sign of her being a "lesbian". She always disregards the thought in fear of what embracing that sexuality might mean for her. All she has heard is the bad things people say, homophobic's say, about that particular subject. None of it is pleasing.
