OK, this dog is nearly perfect.  I can't even begin to tell you how much he has gotten into our hearts in the short time we have had him here.  I missed letting you know a few things in my first update.  He is neutered and 77 pounds.  He is at a great weight and is a tall, lanky guy.  Midas is very obedient and knows a few commands.  He loves to snuggle and also loves fetch.  His favorite toys are the plastic, squeaky ones.  He is so gentle and so happy!  He loves attention and pets so much, but is also content entertaining himself with a toy.  He loves to be in the same room as you and is never far from your side.  He slept soundlessly next to the bed last night without a peep.  He is great on the gentle leader as well.  He also is a good eater.  I think he knows the words food and hungry because he sure gets excited and goes to where we feed him.  Midas is absolutely wonderful!!
