Little Man is a 3 year old blue heeler mix. He answers to Little Man or Bubby. He loves playing fetch with squeaky rubber tennis balls (he breaks the fabric ones) and cuddling up into your side under a blanket. He has contact dermatitis and is not currently house trained due to severe allergies. I have the list of his allergens and current treatment. He will go if taken outside, but does not alert when he needs to go.
