MANNY

Meet Manny, the epitome of relaxation in canine form. With his low-energy demeanor, Manny effortlessly transitions from lounging on the kitchen floor to settling into his favorite chair in the living room. This laid-back pooch thrives in cozy environments and doesn't demand daily walks or high-energy activities. While Manny may not be interested in fetch or chasing after critters, he finds joy in observing squirrels at play. He approaches cats with curiosity rather than aggression, though he hasn't yet shown a keen desire to befriend other dogs. However, with time and patience, he may warm up to them. Manny's polite nature extends to his behavior indoors, where he's learned to relieve himself outside but is still mastering the art of signaling when nature calls. He's adapting well to crate training, displaying admirable patience as he waits for his human to open the door. With his quiet demeanor, Manny rarely barks, except in protest against the menacing lawn mower. On walks, Manny prefers to amble alongside or behind his human companion, demonstrating his easygoing nature. While he enjoys car rides, separation anxiety sets in when his human leaves, leading to pacing and window slobbering. However, ongoing car crate training aims to alleviate this issue. This basset hound mix embodies the laid-back temperament of his breed, making him an ideal companion for someone who appreciates tranquility. Though he may whimper when separated from his human, Manny is gradually building trust and making strides in overcoming his anxieties. Despite his initial indifference to obedience commands like sit, Manny's agreeable personality shines through, making him a delightful playmate for dressing up and pampering. With his gentle disposition, he may even become a beloved companion for a little girl, providing endless opportunities for fun and relaxation.
