I love people because they throw tennis balls, drop food, and think I'm cute!

Pet-Peeves:
I don't like it when I can't play ZoomieDog in the house or when my sister barks at my ball machine.

Favorite Toy:
Tennis balls, tug toys, my tennis ball machine, left shoes, oh, and tennis balls!

Favorite Food:
Raw bones, bananas, cookies, and anything my mom and dad are trying to eat.

Favorite Walk:
To the kitchen for treats, or to the back yard to play catch!

Best Tricks:
Catching tennis balls and being cute and charming.

Arrival Story:
I followed a kid to school one day- no, really! And the playground monitor took me to a classroom where the teacher was known as "The Dog Rescue Guy" and he brought me home in a file box. I was a teeny tiny little thing! Well, then my new mom saw me and since I'm a little Staffie, she just melted since she has a soft spot for the bullies. So then nobody claimed me and they had really good food here, so I showed 'em how smart I am and that's how I charmed 'em into letting me... STAY!- good humans! See how easily trained they are?!?

Bio:
I live with my people and my big sister Nani in Long Beach, California. I get away with alot of stuff because I still have my "Puppy Permit" and I play the "cute card" every chance I get! I try to live up to my name, which means "the right way" in Hawaiian, but it's hard to be perfect all the time...

Forums Motto:
Pono- Life is a bucket of tennis balls!
