A Little Bit About Me…

A volunteer writes; He was all curled up, nestled comfortably in a pink blanket, an ebony little dog with pointy ears, a tiny peanut we all thought was a puppy. When he spotted me at his door, Cactus moved slowly forward, accepted my leash and off we went for a very short walk under a heavy rain. What a good trooper he was. He attended right way to business(Cactus keeps a very clean den), trotted valiantly, shook many drops off his coat, welcame a good toweling and sat very politely and expectantly for treats that he chewed slowly. His tail was happily wagging . His slightly cloudy eyes and squinting eyes looked keenly at me. “Where are my caresses?” “What about some lap time ?” Where is my head ? Of course, little guy! Lets sit on the floor and cuddle…Cactus is a cute, well mannered and super friendly middle aged gentleman, still up and about who so would love to be your loyal companion, gentle four legged playmate and a friend to brighten your life. Come and meet him soon at the Manhattan Care Center.
