⚽️This little girl may come across shy at first, but once you give Miley a soccer ball, her real personality shines through. Miley is just 8 months old and with that you get the playful puppy energy everyone loves, but to go along with that she is quite smart, eager to learn, and is very loving underneath her reserved shell.
