A real comedian. Loves to entertain all his four legged friend and humans.
But he warmed up to the 13+ age group pretty quickly. He is just apprehensive at first. He did the same thing with me, & now he can’t get enough of me! lol
He is drawn to other pets… he does great with our senior female dog. I think he can tell she’s not up for playing much, tho, so he seeks playtime from our cats instead. lol
Our big boy cat is actually about the same size as him. Milo has higher energy than the cats, but anytime they are not in the mood, he heeds their warnings. We really think he would benefit from at least one fur sibling or someone who can be home with him a lot/give him lots of attention.
He seems to have little to no experience with leash walking. He’s learning quickly on the leash with two walks a day, & he will sleep up to 6 hours in the crate at bedtime. (12 hours is the longest he has needed to be crated while in our care
Any crate time during the day or when he thinks someone may still be in the house results in some pretty anxious, high-pitched cries when we have to leave. But he’s young, loves being around us, & he has only had one accident in the crate.
He is very vocal & really only has two speeds… vroom vroom & snuggle bug! Ha
But with walks & play time to get his energy out, he really, really enjoys cuddle time!!
He loves being held & wants to snuggle as close as possible. He is very affectionate. He is also & jumper. He is learning to sit after just one day of practice, & despite his desire to check out literally everything, he truly is a sweetheart & wants to please. His person needs to have patience for sure, but the love he gives is beyond precious
