About Me:

I may be the littlest one, but I’m also the cutest! At least, that’s what I think. Don’t let my size fool you, though. I can take on any of my siblings and hold my own with the best of them!

I love to play hard with my siblings, Mom, and Tilly. Roughhousing is always fun, but I’m also figuring out this whole toy thing. I have a little yellow ball that I love to chase around. It may not look very exciting to you, but trust me, that little ball can keep me busy!

I’m working on learning where I’m supposed to go potty. It’s still a work in progress, but I’m little and I’m learning. With some patience and practice, I know I’ll figure it out.

Mom has also decided it’s time for me to eat hard food instead of nursing. I’m doing really well with it, although every now and then I still manage to sneak in a little snack from Mom. What can I say? Sometimes you just need a little mom time!

Now I’m ready to find my forever family. I may come in a smaller package, but I have plenty of personality, playfulness, and love to give. I’m looking for a family who will love me, play with me, and help me keep learning and growing.
