My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Ollie, a charming canine companion, has proven to be a delightful addition to various social settings, including holiday parties with children of different age groups. His gentle demeanor is evident as he interacts with kids, showcasing appropriate play and a considerate approach, especially with younger children.

Potty trained and equipped with basic commands like sit, stay, down, shake, and spin, Ollie is a quick learner who responds well, especially when treats are involved. Although he occasionally exhibits separation anxiety, ongoing efforts are being made to address and alleviate this concern.

Ollie's affectionate side shines through on his own terms, occasionally seeking cuddles and attention. His preference for staying close is evident, as he dislikes being in separate rooms and often opens doors to ensure he remains nearby.

The playful aspects of Ollie's personality are highlighted through engaging activities like hide and seek, treat-searching games, and his love for fetch, even if the return part is not his forte. While he may have a penchant for destroying stuffed toys, he finds joy in bamboo toys for chewing.

Ollie's quirky and endearing traits include his clumsiness, funny sleeping positions, and expressive facial reactions. His curiosity extends to car rides, where he eagerly peeks out the window, showcasing an adorable sense of wonder. Despite occasional bouts of stubbornness and a mischievous streak, Ollie's unique personality and charming antics make him an entertaining and lovable companion.
