KING! 

Hello there my subjects! My name is King, but unlike a king who rules over people, I need you to rule over me and teach me a few basics and love me, but in the same manner let me love you to pieces!! Let me tell you a bit about where I am in my new kingdom. While I am 3 years old, I am still learning some of the basics in proper behavior. I have a lot of energy, and I LOVE TO PLAY!!! My play has the appearance of being rough, but I know how to take correction from the other dogs that I am playing with when they have had enough and need me to settle. I am a bit mouthy when I play, so we are working on that as well. When I greet people, I jump on them to show them that I am excited to be around them and that I want them to love me and that I want to love on them, so I am learning that it is not okay to do that and that I need to remain calm for affection. I LOVE to snuggle, and I haven’t learned that I am not a lapdog. I will convince you otherwise, so you might just want to sit back and relax and make some room for me. Right now the powers that be are suggesting I only be with bigger kids simply because I am a larger boy, and with my energy and the fact that I am learning to not be jumpy and mouthy, I might knock over a little one or play too rough and accidentally hurt them and then I would be so sad. While I have had a couple of potty accidents in my new foster home, they think it’s just me learning where the new doors are and to give the right cues to have to go outside. There are no concerns that I will master that quickly. I had to spend the night in a kennel, and at first I wasn’t happy about it, and I let people know, but after a few minutes, I settled down and did okay. This is something that I will continue to work on. They keep talking about meeting a cat, but I haven’t met one yet, so I have no idea what that is or how I will react when I see one. Okay, well since I have a few things to work on, I’m going to get back to working on them. A king needs to be in tip top shape to rule his kingdom properly, and right now, I’m a little behind in the manners department, but don’t you fret, I will master these lessons, and then you and I can rule our kingdom together!!! So, if you are looking for someone to be the co-king of the castle, look no further, and head on over and fill out my application!! Until I get the call that my chariot awaits, I will be sitting over here working on my manners and waiting for my forever kingdom! Love, King (updated 02/24/20)
