We adopted Trotter a little over half a year ago. He's a wonderful, goofy dog but we are not going to be able to take care of him any more as we are moving to a place that does not allow animals. He loves attention and is very excitable. He's exremely sweet though and loves to just lay beside you or be nearby.
