Ben likes most everyone and everyone likes Ben. They always comment on how cute and sweet he is (of course). He can be shy with some people but not often and usually only when we are away from home in a new environment. With some encouragement and "its ok's" from me it takes just a few minutes for him to relax. He is such a lovey little guy. He LOVES water! Walks right into the shower with me, sprinklers are great fun, blows bubbles, yes sticks his muzzle in the water bowl and blows bubbles, bought them a new kiddie swimming pool and oh what fun! Thinks big sticks are the best and when he finds a big one drags it around with his chest puffed out. Digging in the sandbox on the patio is also a favorite. Loves to snuggle and give kisses, follows me everywhere watching every little thing I do. We go to the park area across from our house where he very quickly has learned to go for walks off leash coming when called, staying by me and is also picking up some of the hand signals we use (did I already mention how very smart he is?) =)
