When we asked about Shorty to his foster mom this is what she said... Hes an absolute doll! Hes now wagging his tail, rolling over for belly rubs, follows me everwhere. Hes been great with the children and my dog (golden retriever). He ignores my cat.  He came from a quiet home so it may be best to keep him in that. My kids can get pretty loud, he doesnt seem scared but hes right next to me. Hes a total lap dog, likes to relax and loves to me loved. Hes not playful with his toys, he just likes to hang out and go for walks :)
