About Me

They tell me I’m the talkative one of the bunch. I prefer to think of it as making sure nobody forgets I’m here! If there’s attention being handed out, I want to make sure I get my fair share. Actually, maybe a little more than my fair share.

I LOVE to play! My mom, my siblings, and the foster dog are all great playmates, and roughhousing is definitely one of my favorite things to do. I play hard and then I sleep even harder...at least for a few hours. Then I’m recharged and ready to go again!

I’m also starting to discover toys. Right now, hard rubber balls are pretty awesome because I can chew on them while I play. There is so much to explore around here, and I need to make sure I don’t miss out on anything!

I’m working hard on learning where I’m supposed to go potty. I haven’t completely figured it out yet, but give me some more practice and I’m sure I’ll get there. I’m a growing puppy, after all!

I’m mostly eating hard food now, although Mom still lets me sneak in a little nursing session once in a while. Those are becoming fewer and farther between as I get bigger and more independent.

And people? I LOVE people. I love getting attention, being noticed, and being part of whatever is happening. In my opinion, there really is no such thing as too much attention.

If you’re looking for a playful, outgoing puppy with a big personality, plenty of energy, and lots of love to give, I might just be the one for you. Just remember...you’ll definitely know when I want your attention!
