If i top out at 14 lbs your lucky, sure i might get wider in the sides but that means im loved and in a good home. I grin, but i dont bite. I am kind of shy at first but then once i get to know ya i am okay. I was fostered by somebody for 3 days and was running like a morning routine going from house to house but would always come back. Now im back with a different foster and so far only took off once but that was cause the guy didnt pay attention. Overall i need to be leashed when outside, i do jump fences.
