Just wanted everyone to know that I have grown up to be big, strong and healthy! My coat has grown back and very soft -- all of the mange is long gone! My muscles have all filled out and I have quit growing, so probably won't get any bigger. I weigh about 16 pounds now -- That is a huge improvement over the 4.8 pounds I weighed when CTDR picked me in February 2011.

I am a special kind of guy and looking for a special family to call my own. I love to play and run, so a house with some running room and maybe some kids and another pup would be a great place for me! I play hard all day, but love to cuddle with my Mom too! Nothing wrong with some serious lap time, snuggling and cuddling to make someone feel special. I would really love to sit in your lap, and look into your eyes and touch noses with you! They say the "eyes are the window to the soul" and I love to look into someone's eyes and deep into their soul!

I walk pretty well on a leash and sleep all night quietly curled up in my crate. I mostly go outside to do my business but sometimes get confused, but I am working real hard on that. Mom says I am a real rough and tumble little boy! I try to play with cats, but they don't seem to want to play with me! I just don't understand why they won't play with me though! I try to be brave, but sometimes have to run back to Mom to make sure she is not afraid! Don't want anyone to think "I" am scared! My favorite treat is peanut butter! I go nuts -- wiggling and dancing -- when Mom opens the jar of peanutbutter!
