Ozzie has become a real lap dog, and will cuddle for hours on the couch with my husband. He loves affection- he's never very far from me, and seems to want to please so much. His other new love is chasing squirrels! I have a good sized fenced in yard, and he runs and runs with his buddies, and comes in nice and tired. I noticed something yesterday as I was out with Ozzie- he seems alot less nervous with people who have a dog with them. Maybe he figures "hey, if their dog likes the, maybe they're not so bad!"
