They have implicit trust with their human and the best start possible.

    Stuart is doing fantastic. He is so affectionate and loving. He sleeps through the night. Extremely spoiled sleeps in between Mike and I. I wake up his head on my pillow right next to me. This slow guy is sleeping right through the night.He’s such a good boy so playful and happy, and extremely energetic has more toys that he knows what to do with. So tomorrow is his first veterinarian checkup..
