My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

We adopted Tux from a coworker when he was 3 months old and he's been our best bud ever since! He’s such a sweetheart and LOVES long walks, zoomies in the backyard, naps, performing for treats, more naps and generally just being with his favorite humans at all times. Honestly had no behavioral issues with him until our first kid was born - he’s always been high energy but he became increasingly anxious. We’ve tried training, lots of exercise, medication and more training but has unfortunately nipped our oldest daughter a few times now. He has to be separated from us and the kids when they are home and just not fair to him since it only increases his anxiety to be locked up or separated from the action. He is protective of food, but we only had issues if someone outside our family walks up to him while he’s eating out of his bowl (growling/snarling). Otherwise rather obediently sits next to the high chair and politely waits for permission to be a vacuum for any rogue crumbs
