Being a lil sneaky!

Name: Nico

Breed: Golden Retriever

Age: 11 months

Rating: 14/10

Nico is one of the friendliest dogs you’ll meet! He loves people, getting pets, other dogs, and rolling in mud! One of his best friends on campus is Barley (see the 3/31 edition of the Quest). The two of them had a playdate that left the two of them covered in mud! While Nico likes playing in the water, he’s not a huge fan of baths. He will only go in the water when he wants to, thank you very much! He’s also a big fan of chewing on sticks and sometimes ripping up his non-stick toys. When he lies down to chew on a stick, sometimes he lays his back legs out in a sploot! Since he’s still a puppy, sometimes he gets very excited and tries to jump on you to lick your face. He doesn’t lick for any reason, he just wants you to know he loves you! Even if he’s just met you he still loves you! Nico loves chasing squirrels. Well, he doesn’t chase a lot of them since he often sees them when he’s on a leash but he does like staring at them and refusing to move! If you see Nico around, make sure to give him some scritches behind the ears, that’s his favorite spot! 14/10, the world needs more Nico.
