I love to lie in the grass and squish tennis balls in my mouth, sometimes I get the energy to chase after them but mostly I like to relax! I am friendly with other dogs but as I get older, I find the young, energetic ones to be mostly annoying so I enjoy outside time by myself. I can’t swim and I’m scared of water so I stay far away from even puddles. My mom’s home doesn’t have a yard, so she’s looking for places where I can go to enjoy some peaceful time in the shade!“

  — Steffanie R.
