Special traits that make your foster special or that we need to know about them?

Despite Theodore’s medical issues he is a character. He loves other dogs but will push their buttons if allowed. He loves to play with balls and enjoys short walks. Nighttime is spent on the couch with a nice toy. If provoked he will charge you and/or spring off the couch at you. He thinks the worst thing on the planet is a vacuum cleaner. Theodore’s Ideal family would have breed experience and have the means to take him to see an internist/surgeon $$$.
