Nigel's mom says: Nigel "Brutus" was born on August 22, 2006, and was ironically named. Every time I take him on a walk, I always hear at least once, "Dangerous dog you got there. Better keep him off the streets!" He's the most attention-stealing, playful, loyal dog I've ever come in contact with. When you sit down on the couch, he will literally jump up on your lap and get up in your face--pressing his puppy fuzzed chest fur against your face, licking you until your face is pruned. He has two sisters, Pickles the wise and oldest, and Peanut the silly playmate. Nigel loves to run around and play in the snow, and to play tag. He also loves sleeping for hours in any position imaginable--as long as he is near me or one of my immediate family members. We couldn't be any happier to have him in our family.
