What I love about Matthias? Everything! He is cuddly, kissy, devoted to the kids, obedient, his colors are gorgeous, he plays so wonderfully with my kids - especially our three year old, he comforts my youngest when she is crying from getting hurt or too tired or whatever she is crying about (he is really starting to become quite attached to her), he won the heart of my husband (his daddy, who will now let himself be called daddy by the dog), he knows when I'm in pain and picks those times to just lay with me without fidgeting, he goes to bed with me every night and helps me read whatever book i'm working on (he inspects each page before i read it, until he falls asleep)...
what I don't like? Well, he is housebroken but occassionally I just can't get to the back door fast enough when he asks so he will piddle there. He's funny about bathroom time. He'll go down the porch steps and pee. Then go back inside for his cookie. Then go back out for his poo. All so he can get a second cookie! This makes it hard for me as I'm disabled and steps are a real challenge. But I try not to complain too much. He only does this in the morning.
Matthias is truelly my baby and I love him completely unconditionally. My daughters are calling their friends and saying they have a new baby brother now! I love him from his black nose to his white tipped tail! |
