Yoda is our family treasure!

Yoda is our family treasure! At first, full of TOO much energy, literally running circles and circles day and night, he has now calmed down at about 19 months old to be a very responsive pleasure who still has a bit of the "Ghandi" syndrome of just plopping himself down in stubborn passive defiance if we want him to come in when he is not finished surveying the world outside. He is friendly with most all he has met, in the way of people and dogs, loves but harasses his cat-mates, and only defends himself when bullied by an aggressive male. He loves to have an "extra" morning sleep by climbing under the blankets of my bed when my daughter releases him from her room. He communicates with uncanny ability - time to play, time to walk, time to eat (something better than kibble) - time to go to sleep. Super good companion. Loves to sleep up high, if he can (see photo). Had to have major dental surgery as a pup to remove lots of extra teeth, but his overall health is excellent. We love our Yoda
