These two dogs have the sweetest bond. Wesley is a cuddle loving goober who doesn’t understand personal space and is always in a happy mood. Wesley will wimper with excitement when meeting new people. Nell is a dog’s dog and adores Wesley. She is as sweet as they come and loves cuddles and soft whispers from her trusted people. She can be timid when meeting people but doesn’t have an ounce of aggression in her body. Once she is comfortable with you she will talk to you like a husky does and tell you when she needs to go out or wants cuddles. She also lets you know when brother has taken her bone or is using a toy she wants. She listens very well even though she is not formally trained.
