Hi there! My name is Cassie. Wanna come pet me? Yes? OK then! I am going to have to prepare myself for your arrival. Why, you ask? Well, it's certainly not because I need to put on a face of makeup that's for sure. I am adorable, no enhancements required! I have a squish face, a beautiful caramel coat color, and a petite little body at just 16 pounds. I'm still a baby at only 6 months old so I might grow a little more but most everyone thinks I've pretty much hit my grown-adult-size at this point. So, clearly it's not my cutie patootie appearance that needs preparations for your arrival to come meet me. It's actually my nerves that I have to overcome. Oh boy, here it comes -- real talk. I'm a girl with a bit of nerves and low confidence. I'm a nervous nelly to be honest. And I do think honesty is the best policy when it comes to adopting your best friend. Something happened to me when I was pretty little that made me scurrrrred of people. I don't know English or how to speak any oral languages that you can understand so I can't tell you about it, but suffice it to say, it wasn't pleasant. BUT I AM. I am a happy little girl pup trapped inside a worried one. I am a sweet and snuggly baby with a shaky exterior. I need my new family to be ready to rescue in the true sense of the word. To be in this with me, eyes wide open. To have the patience of a saint with a healthy dose of optimism -- and when we have all that in place -- I will not disappoint. My loyalty will be legendary. My love, deep. My appreciation, never ending.  And I am getting ready for you! In fact, I am building up my courage as I dictate this to the nice lady that writes the bios. And guess what? I can see happiness from here. Love, Cassie
