Cramer is my name and givin' good lovin' is my game! I am a 5 year, 50lb neutered male lab mix. I am the definition of man's (and wink wink the lady's) best friend. I came from a hoarding situation but despite that am completely well-adjusted, super-duper friendly and a "happy go lucky, go with the flow, what is next on our agenda today mommy and daddy kinda guy. The minute I came into my foster home I made myself at home getting all comfy on the dog beds and human ones too . I love people and want to do nothing but give you kisses and hugs. The one second you make eye contact with me, my tail starts wagging wanting your approval.
I came from North Carolina to Maryland on what's called a leg transport...Where six different people do a "relay to get me here. Well all 6 folks were smitten by me and my copious gentle kisses. What can I say I am a hopeless romantic. So I am great in the car especially if I can run copilot !
I am housetrained. I don't like the crate but am fine in the house and don't get into stuff. Foster mom can even leave her slippers around! And at night I just want to be with you so don't wander out for late night shenanigans. I am UBER CUDDLY! And the folks here love that because my coat is so soft; softer than a teddy bear! When we go to sleep I get right up next to you because I like to be cradled like a baby as we fall asleep together (I move after a while so your arm won't go numb!). I sleep like a human and use a pillow accordingly. Pretty impressive, huh?
I am low energy and happy just chewing a bone. I'm great on leash and will walk by your side. I can be jumpy when wanting lovies but respond to back turning. I also try to be as gentle as can be when jumping up (Foster mom calls me a meerkat) so probably would be ok w/ kids 5 and up. I am great with dogs and pretty much ignore them (I just started being a little playful with the two resident dogs here) and I came from a home with cats. Foster Mom says to me that she has had a LOT of lab mixes come through her home as well as pure bred labs. She says I am one of the best!
PS- check out my froggy splirt!
