Glad you're enjoying it more. The dog does play an interesting role in the next book in a rather odd way. Space and the multitudes of people can be pretty weird.
On another note, I have to agree with the reaction of the mercs. Slotter Key Military Academy - and note, not even ground forces academy or special forces academy, NAVAL academy - teaches how to set up and execute a hit? That really must be some academy.
I agree about how satisfying it is that Ky is such a competent protagonist. And at the same time, it's not as if she was unrealistically perfect. She has the military training, so she's likely to know how to fight in a war.

If you wanted to read this series though, start with TRADING IN DANGER.

I agree that they get less emotionally flat over time, although I never really got completely engaged with Ky.
Of course, I read the books immediately after vaccuuming all the Vorkosigan books in a row, so perhaps I was a bit spoiled.
