When his foster sister playbows
When his friends booty-bump
When he sees his favorite human
He simply lights up
And fill the space with joy

Seeking a long term relationship to cohabitate with a woman (or two, or three…)
Taking long leisure walks in quiet neighborhoods, by the beach, on the trail
Enjoy car rides, feel the wind on the whiskers, ready for adventures
