Hi; my name is Christopher Robin and I am a 13 pound male shih tzu mix. When RUFF found me, I was in an animal shelter and was completely covered in mats from head to toe. My wonderful foster parents took all the mats off when they got me home. So when you look at my pictures, imagine me with more hair like a shih tzu and that will make me even cuter; I'm not very fond of being naked of hair but I feel so much better without those mats. I am a very sweet little boy and I am in the process of learning that I can't be the top dog in the house. My foster mom is working with me and I am learning quickly but I still have some moments of trying to challenge her on small things like getting on and off the couch, nothing too crazy. She says I act like a typical terrier, always trying to feel someone out for a little weakness they can exploit; fortunately though, she loves me for it which makes me love her oh so very much. I like to pick someone to love and, if allowed, will become very protective of that person. What can I say, I love her and want to be with her forever and I feel like it is my job to protect her. My foster mom is also in the process of teaching me I don't have that job and that she protects herself so I can relax a little and be a normal dog. I surprised my foster mom when I retrieved a low pressure tennis ball for her in the yard. Hehe, she was so excited! Well now she knows that I like balls and love to retrieve them. Sometimes I bring them back to you and just want to chew on them but other times I want you to throw it again. I am great with other dogs. The larger ones that roughhouse tend to scare me a bit but as long as they don't chase me I'm fine. I am slowly becoming more confident with being held as I learn to trust people. Housetraining is also a work in progress but I'm getting better every day. I am crate trained although I don't much like to go in there as I want to be with my person all the time and I whine a little at first but soon settle down to nap. Cats are a no go for me. I saw one recently and wanted nothing more than to chase and bother the cat to no end. When you come and meet me, you will fall in love with my cute wrinkly face and underbite and hopefully love me like I love you. Will you be my best friend and give me the structure and love I need so very badly? (AM)
