I LOVE:

• The old man grown when he stretches his back.
• Rumi likes to lay on his back and air out his crotch for everyone to see.
• When he stops on the stairs for a butt scratch just the way my Toki did.
• When he barks when we wants us to do something, like he's using his voice!
• When he rests his chin on sofa, my hand and shoulder in car, and other things to be cute.
• When he backseat drives by putting his paw on James' lap to stop.
• His sweet little white teeth.
• When he runs in circles like a crazy person with zoomies right after a bath.
• When he makes sounds in his puppy dreams.
• How smart he is emotionally.
• How he loves his routine of snack plate and night biscuit.
• How he has to go the bathroom with me every time and just lays at my feet.
• That when we leave him alone he rings the bell in the hopes we return.
• Him using my hand as his chin rest while driving
• His cozy lip licking sounds
• When he rubs against people like a cat while smiling at me
