Sudden Cuddling!

Well I got a nice surprise from my baby this weekend. Ever since I got him he was not the most physical dog. He loves attention but has never really liked to snuggle. Unless I made him and then he'd jet after a few minutes. Well, two weeks ago my dad had to put our golden retriever to sleep and it hit me pretty hard. For the first time ever Winnie not only initiated getting in bed with me, but laid with me for a good hour or so!! I didn't want to push it too much because he like I said doesn't really like to snuggle. At the same time though I really wanted to encourage him to continue the behavior. Well last night I think it kicked in. My friend and I were watching movies and I decided to call him up and see how he reacted. To my surprise he has hardly gotten off since then. He is very polite about it too! I noticed after he got down and pottied last night that he came directly to my bedside and stared at me. I barely had to give him the command and he was back up! Okay well, that's all for now!
