Oh Barney! (Coton de Tulear)

We have a little black Pomeranian for five years now that we just love to death! Then we thought what a great idea to get this little guy (Coton de Tulear) that I have done a lot of research on. His name was previously Cuddles (from the Breeder) when we got him home we changed his name to Barney. He is 16 weeks old now and we've had him for a month.
I can only describe him with the following adjectives - Beautiful, lovable, little pest at times, clownlike, loves to follow behind you on his hind legs, vocal, loves people, smart, mind of his own, listens well, drives our little Cupcake crazy, but we always find them sleeping snuggled up together, loves to go in the car with us, sleeps like a log at night time, snores.
With all of this good and bad when you look in those little eyes and he is counting on you to keep him safe and love him that's really all we can do. He keeps us laughing.
