Frosty Skeeter

Skeeter (M)

Skeeter is a hard worker but definitely has a major silly side. His distinctive one ear up, one ear down look marks him as the goof that he truly is at heart. His brother, Timber, is his best friend in the world, and they love running in team together. Although he is always attentive and enthusiastic, he also loves to make trouble. If he can outgrow his impish habits, we hope he will mature into a great leader.
