2 They named me that because I'm just a little guy. I weigh 11 lbs. and stand just a foot tall.
3 My favorite thing of all time is to snuggle with you and let you hold me like a baby, even though I'm not a baby any more. I'm 4 years old.
4 But you can talk sweet baby talk to me if you want. I'd like that.
5 Sometimes I have to share attention and couch space with my canine siblings. That's okay...
6 ... As long as I get my share of one-on-one attention and cuddles throughout the day.
7 I'm so passionate about people that you might think I'd be pesty about it, but honestly I also like to spend time just hangin' with the canines.
8 We like to romp and wrestle, play and chase.
9 And then I get worn out and need a little more lap time.
10 Then it's time for a potty break and exploring outside. I do a good job with keeping my business outside as long as you give me outdoor opportunities every 3 or 4 hours. I will sit at the door to remind you when it's time to let me out, but I'm not so rude as to bark at you about it, so if you don't notice me, well, that's on you.
11 I'm a very enthusiastic leash walker. Even though I'm enthusiastic, I know that I'm not supposed to pull and that it's not necessary for me to stop and sniff at every bush or tree.
12 Some trees, though, are simply too tempting to resist.
13 Back home and time for another quick snooze to recharge my batteries.
14 Sharing space is my specialty.
15 Another favorite time of day: meal time!
16 My guardian says that I have to 'fess up and admit that I am not always the perfect angel that I look like...
17 It's kind of embarrassing...
18 ...But I have to admit to being a bit of a kleptomaniac. There, I said it. When someone leaves their purse around I find it about impossible to resist taking a quick peek inside to see if there is something that would suit me...
19 What do you mean this isn't a chew toy? It's perfect!
20 Do I have to confess to the other thing, too?
21 Sigh. Ok. Well, you see, I'm a pretty good hopper for my size....
22 ...And if you leave chairs or bar stools next to tables or kitchen counters, and leave interesting things out on those tables or kitchen counters, I just might decide that it's in my best interest to use those chairs or stools as a starting point to go exploring.
23 And then afterwards I feel quiet guilty about it. Well, at least I have learned how to look very contrite so that you simply cannot get mad at me.
24 And then we can be besties again, right?
25 So if you have a home that can provide lots of snuggle opportunity...
26 ...And a canine pal or two (or three)...
27 ...And appreciate a fellow who can be somewhat of a goofball,,,
28 Then I'm definitely hoping you'll put in your application to adopt me!
