I mean he is so cute when I do have to leave him home (with the BF here). He sits in front of the front door... begging me to take him. I take him alot with me every day in the car. We also walk about 4-5 times a day. He likes to be on my chest area, curling up as far under my chin as he can go, then he puts his butt in the air, his head is sideways, and he starts licking me. I have to control his licking too. He can really get carried away. lol... he is just so cute!
