More on Wheezy

Wheezy has been with us for several days now and we have really started to get to know his personality. He is calm for 2.5 years old, and is happiest just pressed up against his humans on the couch. He is apprehensive of new people and frankly scared of men. Fortunately he just growls but can be easily bribed with treats. After just one growl when he first met my fiance he now spends most of the day passed out on Steve's lap or running around playing with the tennis ball. We are going slow with him but hope to introduce him to other men next week. He just desperately wants to be loved and cuddled. He will shower you with kisses any chance he gets. He is 100% housebroken however marks everywhere outside which we are working on but so far he has not lifted his leg in the apartment. He wasn't previously leash walked so this is also a work in progress. I can take his things (ball, bully stick etc) away from him with no protest. He is crate trained and sleeps in his crate at night without a peep. The big obstacle we are working on is the strangers but I bet our Wheezy can make some great progress in the coming weeks. When he meets new women he is usually in their laps within minutes. He is incredibly sweet and the forever home he ends up in will be extremely lucky to add Wheezy to the family.
