He is obsessed with small creatures. Fine with cats, but all bets are off with other pets, such as chinchillas. Not sure what he wants to do, but he will whine and pull to get to them. Doesn't start barking, which is nice, and he will still sit, but he gets really amped up. Same with squirrels and rabbits. Birds don't seem to bother him.
He gets excited when meeting other dogs on leash but does well off leash and has done great in play group and at the dog park. He prefers to play with Honey when in a large group, but will engage with other dogs if approached. He likes to play fetch.
He's been good with the few young kids he's met and the one baby he's met. Greets children like normal people who can potentially pet him and was not terribly interested in the baby, even squealing and flailing around.
He enjoys soft toys and sometimes harder toys. He's getting used to dog beds and will probably lay on them about 40% of the time. He still doesn't quite understand "lay down" but has "sit" down pretty well. He no longer leaps into the front seat of the car and doesn't jump nearly as much.
Chester prefers to sit on a person's feet if not getting attention or lay in the same room. At night he will go into the bathroom, which is the closest place with tile flooring because he gets hot. He has a lot of fur and sometimes seems uncomfortably warm.
For the most part, he is very calm and quiet and likes to get attention but doesn't need it constantly. He has started pre-treatment for his heartworms and we're pretty excited that he'll be getting taken care of.
