My name is Orson and I'm a five year old Pekingese. At 19 lbs, I'm a big lug of a guy who wants nothing more than to cuddle and hang out with my pack. Once I'm comfortable with you, you can have your way with me when it comes to cuddling and massaging me. If you go outside I'll follow you out and when you go back inside, I'll follow (I also like to hang out in the yard on my own).
 
I love off leash walks in the hills and am under voice control. I'm very polite, don't beg and am very well behaved at home. I love chasing balls and pine cones but once I catch one, I like to lie down with them rather than bring them back. I love it when you come and take it out of my mouth or from between my paws and throw it again. I'm very attached to and love my two year old human brother. I sit with him when he cries and don't mind if he trips over me or his toys land on me.

However, deep down I'm a very anxious guy and am VERY anxious and aggressive with all other children. My vet, my dog trainer and a behaviorist from UC Davis' small animal clinic all agree that I have anxiety based aggression. Despite being on anti-anxiety medication and tons of training, I can't be around kids (other than my current human brother). I won't seek them out to bite them but if they come too close or come into my home, I will bite. I don't want to hurt anyone so need to be in a home without kids, and preferably one without a lot of unexpected visitors of any kind.

When it comes to adults I don't know, if I'm out on the trail I'm happy to meet them and let them pet me (if they go slow and don't force themselves on me). At home, if an adult who I don't know is coming over, I can get aggressive.  All you need to do is gate me or put me in another room until I stop barking and get used to their smell/sound of their voice (5-10 minutes). Once I'm relaxed I'll be very polite and appropriate. I'll wag and sniff and then go on about my business.

Lastly, I'm very protective of my sister Willaby and so walking us on leash together can be challenging. I love dogs so want to meet and greet and she is afraid of other dogs and so we get all mixed up. I'm excited but also trying to act tough to protect her. The upshot is, we both end up sounding like crazed gremlins. The good news is, if we actually get close to the other dogs, we calm down immediately and neither of us can remember what all the fuss was about.
