My goal in life is to be a lap dog.  I love nothing more than to sit on my foster mom's lap, cuddle up and take a nap.  Yep - I'm a total cuddle bug.   I like to keep her in my sight, so I usually follow her around,   just in case she needs my help with anything .  I'm generally a pretty quiet guy, but when my foster family returns home after being gone even for a short time, I'm beyond excited.  I guess I need to learn a few manners, but I'm just so happy to see them and I want my people to know how much I missed them.    I  also  get along really well with the other dogs in my foster home  .  I've never met a cat, so I'm not really sure about them.  When people come to visit, I like to go up to them and sniff them out.  I'm still pretty cautious around new people, but if I think they are nice I warm up pretty quickly.  Loud noises and quick movements can startle me though.  

I have a few issues, but nothing major.   It seems I'm sensitive to some  foods containing chicken, beef or lamb.   They make me kind of itchy.  Since I've been eating fish/salmon or rabbit based dog foods I haven't had any problems.   And  I think they are really tasty!    Also, since in my former life I was never given a heartworm preventative, you guessed it, I got heartworm.  The treatment was rough, but  now  I'm finished  and I'm  heartworm free. I  do  require a heartworm check in 6 months and again in a year, just to be sure I'm still in great shape  with none of those nasty heartworms .    I  have to take it easy for a  few weeks , which will give me time to  fully recover from the heartworm treatment as well as  get  know  my new family.   After that I can run and play just like any other dog.   I am looking forward to finding my forever home where  I can be part of a family that will love me for me ,  and  I guarantee I will love them back big time!
