Likes:
Besides Brent, he likes quiet companionship of like minded dogs, fresh snow in Chicago, and digging in the sand at the Huntington beach. He misses his best friend, George. He liked him best.
Pet-Peeves:
Tenant requests, The cat's existance. Car trips of any length, RV living, Knocking, Doorbells, Anything that rings or makes animal noises, Cats except for his cat, and the Planet of the Apes DVD-he's especially pissy regarding monkey noises.
Favorite Toy:
Poo's favorite toy is his monkey toy that taunts him with its realistic howls/Crazy f****ing starfish/Some kid's Grover he found on a walk
Favorite Food:
-Cannot state the particular food due to conflict of interest-he is pursuing a commercial career & dreams of promoting a dog food brand-Maybe even pedigree since he knows he's beautiful & won't even hear that he isn't good enough since he's a mutt
Favorite Walk:
Poo especially liked walking past all the local transvestite hookers during quiet midnight walks through Hollywood Proper.
Best Tricks:
Poo has thumbs or may be telekenetic since hes opened doors that we were CERTAIN were shut. He has recently taken to biting at flies. When he catches them he makes funny faces & snorts. His latest trick has been surviving a cancer diagnosis two years+
Arrival Story:
We first encountered Mr Poopins playing in traffic in Chicago. He was limping so we were afraid he had been hit. Closer inspection revealed a mangled leg, with several deep cuts and injuries we believe were sustained by escaping something he was tied to. He was really weak, incredibly underweight at 27 lbs & extremely hand shy. After about an hour chase, he tired & we cornered him in a backyard. He had no tags and too many signs of abuse. This pretty much meant that we weren't going to look for an owner even if we weren't sure that we were going to keep him. So we were off to the vet--she didn't expect him to live. He would probably have to lose the leg & she warned against getting attached since he may die from infection. He just had the sweetest little face though and we already loved him. It was too late to say not to get attached.
Bio:
It was now time for Mr Poopins second act. On his road to recovery, he kept eating, eating, & eating. Sores & cuts healed. He got to keep the leg. Soon he was healthy enough for us to treat the stomach bugs. After a couple of months he stopped throwing up blood & started feeling like a million bucks. Out came the tail from between his legs & he began making eye contact with us even. His overall weight gain was 50 pounds. Steven Baldwin to Alec Baldwin in a matter of months. He gained a new found pride as well. His walk even changed. People even began stopping us in the street to tell us how pretty he was, and he looked like he agreed.
Though healthy enough to stay home and lounge around, Poo had a solid work ethic. He became the official shop dog at a Mission Bay Multisport in Downtown Chicago. It helped his personality start to come out. He learned to feel better about people & became more trusting in general. His Boss Bill Linneman would sneak him breakfast nearly everyday. Tom Estka would bring the beef jerkey and his mechanic friend, Troy would bring his doggie to see him too. Though still very quiet and unassuming, but he had gotten spunkier and more self confident because of the bunch. Poo even started doing regular dog stuff like playing with toys. We'd had him a year at that point and never imagined he would be so normal so fast. Life was good...but poo had aspirations & goals that could never be realized in the windy city.
Poo decided to leave his sad past behind in Chicago, and carve out a new future in Los Angeles. He is currently pursuing his dream of super stardom. He hopes to break the pedigree barrier he believes is all to common in todays dog food commercials. Poo is proof that rehabilitation after abuse is possible. Countless friends, reletives, and vets that saw him before, told us that he may need to be put down. You can't keep a good dog down though! Today he is an advocate for rescues, a voice in the ongoing southern California dog beach saga, and hopes to inspire mutts and their owners everywhere.
