Quick Bio:
-dog rescue
Likes: I am a shoe fiend! Socks are awesome, too. I also really like the outdoors, squirrel chasing, car rides, and anything that involves the wind in my ears. And attention from my people, or any people for that matter. And playing with other happy dogs!
Pet-Peeves: Squirrels!!! and Rabbits!! and Birdies! and anything small and wiggly. Getting my nails clipped is a bummer, too.
Favorite Toy: My Jolly Ball. It's big and red and tough, and has a handle so I can carry it around and show it off!
Favorite Food: I'm pretty open minded about food, so if you have something you want me to try, hand it over - no need to tell Mom.
Favorite Walk: Walk? Walk??? Let's go! I love that big park with all the trees and squirrels, and that other park with all the dogs is a blast! I also dig walking the streets of my hood for some "see and be seen" action.
Best Tricks: I can climb trees. I can jump like a bionic squirrel. The first time my Mom saw me do either of these things her jaw dropped. I'm a natural. ;-)
Arrival Story: Owie had been turned in by his previous home and was headed down a dark road when he was taken in by a local rescue organization. (Thank you!). He came to stay with us temporarily while he recovered from heartworm treatment and then we would help find him a good home. Well, we found him a good home with us! We could not give him up once we got to know him. It's been happily ever after, and we are some lucky humans.
Bio: We've never met a dog who stretches like the Oster! His stretches forward, stretches back, stretches often... what better name to add to "Owen" than the master of all that's yoga, Yogi! What a limber dog.
Forums Motto: Fun, Food, and the Pursuit of Squirrels.

The Last Forum I Posted In: What is your favorite "strange" or unusual behavior?
I've Been On Dogster Since:
Sometimes I get free haircuts. They seem to be at will, although I've noticed a pattern. Yes, dogs have a scientific side and can notice patterns. There's a pattern that goes with my Mom picking up a pair of scissors and saying something like, "Come here, Cutie!" That's how my new look usually starts.
Before the scissors get involved, I'm usually outside. And occassionally I pick up knick knacks from the bushes and weeds. Small green burrs shaped like seeds, big fluffy burrs (those hold on really well), and other various burrs - they are all beautiful and spice up my look when I wear them in my furr. Mom pulls them out. She's gentle, but what's she got against a dog wearing a little bling? The ugly part is that it's the ones that get in my longer furr that won't come out. I don't have a lot of long furr, but it tends to grow on top of my ears and on my tail. Two months ago I got an ear trim. Today it was the tail. I have to be honest, it isn't pretty. And my furr doesn't grow back so fast.
But there you have it. I like the lady anyway, and I can do without the burrs.
I have two words to woof to you. DOG. PARK. Holy Fun Time Batman, that's good stuff.
Today we slept in until 6am. That takes patience for a dog like me, waiting to go to a dog park for the first time. This Saturday was a very special day for me and the peeps had to sleep until the sun was almost up!
There was a bumpy road that led to lots of doggood grassy, hilly, open-ness. While I was in the car I yelled at another dog in her car. Mom scowled at me. WHAT? But the other dog turned out to be pretty cool when I met her nose to nose in the parking lot.
Then, we stepped into heaven. There were other dogs and people and some of us walked together and played and I ran and ran and ran.
Now we are back at home and my tummy is filled with breakfast (Yum-mie, Honest Kitchen goodness) and I am going to nap for a while. Happy Saturday, everyone!
So, my mom started making all these sneezy coughing sounds and carrying around a box of tissues. At first it was fun to have her home, but she isn't going many places other than home. Ho-hum. This morning she did take me to the park when it was quiet and we walked for a while, but usually she runs and plays and today she just kind of walked around and moaned occassionaly. Give me back my Mamma!
