About Sonny DL1965
If you’re looking for a loving, laid-back gentleman, then I’m the guy for you. I’m Sonny and I’m very pleased to meet you. Let me tell you a bit more about myself.
I like to think of myself as a lover, not a hater. I love people, including kids and I get along well with both dogs and cats. Because I am getting on in age though, I would prefer a home where I can just relax, so any dogs you might already have would have to be pretty laid back. I enjoy a short walk so I can see what the neighbourhood has been up to and then love nothing more than to curl up and have a sleep. I do like to spend time with you, but I don’t mind if you have to go to work. I’ll just curl up in the sunshine and have a snooze.
There are a couple of other things you should know about me. First of all, I do have a bit of arthritis. In my past life I got a bit too much love and have put on a bit of weight, so I’d like it if you could help me lose a couple of kilos. It would do wonders for my back legs. I’ve also got a bit of a heart murmur which I’m on medication for. Because of these, I would definitely prefer a quieter home. I guess that just means we’ll have more time for cuddles, ear rubs and brushes. Out of everything, those are definitely my favourite, so you will have to sacrifice part of your day just to give me love. It’s a tough job, but I know you’ll be up for it. I’m just so lovable who could resist?
If you think I’m your perfect match I’d love to meet you. Please email DFL and let them know that Sonny sent you.
Medical notes
Sonny has been diagnosed with a heart murmur and is currently on medication. He also has some stiffness in his back legs due to arthritis and needs to lose a little weight.
