My German Shepherd Snuggle Bunny, Toby

My GSD puppy's name is Toby. He started out as Brutan but as his personality developed I realized he wasn't a Brutan...he was a Toby.

As he got used to his new name, I was mourning the loss of another dog of mine. She was a snuggler. Toby really wasn't...or at least not yet.

I would sit next to him, he would move somewhere else. I would try to hold him, he would jump off my lap. I was sad b/c I missed the snuggling i got from my other dog.

Well, as Toby got older, he wanted to sit with me, lay with me and just be with me. he is now 13 months and we fall asleep together, he loves to lay on my feet and keep them warm and when I have a headache, he lets me lay my head on him like as if he knows I am in pain.

My aloof little puppy turned into the sweetest most affectionate dog and he has helped me through the rough time of losing my other dog. he truely is my earth angel.
