Malachi is a very sweet little guy. When I first picked him out, he just wanted to be held. I carried his heavy butt the hole time I was there. He still wants to be held, but I am not sure that I could handle carrying a 50+lb animal around.
I knew he was the one right away, he was just so calm and loving. My friend Mary kept telling me I should get his brother "Harpo" for other reasons, but I held on to Malachi. I am really glad that I didn't change my mind because he balances out the rest of the fur family so well.
He has such a warm and sunny personality, I haven't seen him dig as of yet, and he is just an all around awesome fur kid. If a dog could have a theme song his would be "don't worry be happy". When I am feeling bad, he always manages to snuggle in a little closer and lay his head in my lap and give me a look that seems to say hey, everything is going to be ok.
