Howie's Story

SINGLE MALE SEEKING LOVE <br/>Name: Howie<br/>Age: Old enough to know what I want, young enough to still bark about it.<br/>Height: Fun-sized.<br/>Occupation: Professional cuddler, neighbourhood watch captain, and full-time supervisor of your personal space.<br/>About Me:<br/>I’m a crusty Chihuahua with a heart of gold and a list of standards that some might call unreasonable. I prefer to think of them as boundaries.<br/>I enjoy long naps, warm blankets, being carried around like the tiny king I am, and reminding everyone that the mailman is a threat to society. I’m kennel trained, house trained, and exceptionally talented at becoming your entire personality.<br/>Looking For:<br/> A female-only home.<br/> Someone experienced with small dogs who understands that trust and respect are earned.<br/> Someone who understands that bedtime means sharing the bed.<br/> A calm household where I can enjoy my retirement in peace.<br/>Deal Breakers:<br/> Men.<br/> Children under 18.<br/> Bossy dogs.<br/> Apartments, condos, or homes with shared walls. I am a vocal gentleman and I refuse to silence myself.<br/> Anyone who thinks dogs belong on the floor instead of under the blankets.<br/>Other Pets:<br/> Cats are fine if they stay away from me.<br/> Respectful, submissive dogs are acceptable, I will growl at them if they are in my personal space.<br/>A Few Things You Should Know:<br/>I can be sweet, cuddly, and attached at the hip one minute, and the next minute decide I’ve had enough. Because of this, I need someone who can read dog body language, respect my boundaries, and understand that I may bite if I feel uncomfortable, startled, or pushed beyond my limits.<br/>What I Bring to the Relationship:<br/> Unwavering loyalty<br/> Endless cuddles (when I request them)<br/> Comic relief<br/> Personal security alerts whenever a leaf blows by<br/> The confidence of a much larger dog<br/>If you’re looking for a quiet, low-maintenance companion, I’m probably not your guy.<br/>If you’re looking for a tiny, crusty soulmate who will keep you laughing, keep you company, and make every day a little more interesting, swipe right and submit your application.<br/>XOXO,<br/>Howie
