He is a creature of happiness, but when pushed to explore and try, he is always successful and happy. Squirrels love to lounge. He enjoys his home. Lives in his fenced-in yard. Sunbathing, running, and playing with other dogs. Very respectful of cats and all critters. His environment, his home, is his world. Although he is known to enjoy the occasional car ride and a treat through the driveway. He is socially awkward and reserved. He minds his own.
