I am a big strong macho boy. Really, I am! I like to act tough and pretend I don't need to be petted. I like to act aloof and pretend I don't like new people. I don't want them to know that I am afraid of them. I am afraid of pretty much everything, but I act like I am not. I act like I don't want my head scratched or my belly rubbed too. Please don't fall for that because I live for head scratches, attention and treats. What I really want is someone to pet me, hold me and take care of me. I want head scratches on a regular basis. I want my forever people to understand that I am a great big baby even though I try not to show it.
