Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Mr. Buggles aka Bugg aka Bugsy aka Buggy aka Cuddle Bugg. Want a shadow? He is your guy! Want a fly killer? He is your guy! Need a protector from the Dark Lord Vacuum? He is your guy! Want a cuddle buddy? He is your guy! Bugg is chill, quiet and your new best friend. He just wants to be around you 24/7 and help bring you happiness. He is shy at first like most Chis but once he warms up, kisses all the time! (On a waiting list for dental cleaning) He will cuddle or lay between your legs or sleep next to you while you work from home. Terrible coworker, sleeping on the job, but cute and cuddly, so it is a win! He will do best in a home with another small dog to play and cuddle with or someone that is home all the time or most of the day. Stage 5 clinger!! He came to the rescue with his brother (Boo Boo), but they are not bonded. We are still working on being completely house broken; he came from an elderly person that could not always get him outside. He loves going outside and walking around with you or exploring on his own or with the other dogs. He walks okay on a leash but needs some more work so he will need a fenced in yard or someone willing to go exploring. He does okay with large dogs, but the large dog needs to be experienced with small dogs because Bugg gets sassy and nippy when the large dog gets too rough or in his face too much. In the foster home Bugg is one of six dogs and does great with everyone even the crazy husky mix. Both brothers are crate trained and do not make messes in there. When we do have to leave them alone, they do howl and bark but calm down after a while (clingy). They would just prefer to go everywhere with you and do great on car rides!!
