They are generally kind of dog-like. Mine does the same, almost always in the same room as me (and when he's not, it doesn't last long before he comes looking). Maybe a bit skittish sometimes but friendly with everyone, you can hand him to people and he's fine. Likes being picked up, I can even just put him on my shoulders and he'll hang out there happily. Very playful, but calms down quickly when he gets over-excited and tries to eat my arm or something. Mine is a bit noisier than yours though, apparently; he's quite talkative. As noted in the other thread, he likes to play fetch.
Annoyances, well, he chews things, for sure - even grocery bags and more recently a PS4 controller's top buttons. But I've managed to protect most of my stuff effectively with a bit of lemon juice, and once you've done that once he learns that that particular cable is not what he wants to taste. He's also a bit rebellious, in that he knows I don't want him scratching my chairs or the guest bed, but he does it anyway just to get attention, then runs away when I say his name in an admonishing tone. Still, he's less destructive than any dog I've owned. And he does get bored and try to wake me up at around 5:30 if I let him into the room, although sometimes that's a welcome alarm clock.
