More: Stevie is a rescue from my local shelter, Cincinnati Animal CARE. His full name is Stevie Disco Paws because of his paw markings. :) He was found tied out front of the shelter when he was about 8 months old. He LOVES cuddles and blankets, hikes in the woods, and playing with other puppies. He also loves our two cats. I wake up earlier than Stevie does, and when he finally gets up he needs to rub his face all over the sofa and blankets while making little snort noises. I think it's equivalent to humans rubbing our eyes to wake up.
