Arrival Story: Sweet Gunther showed up at the Pinole shelter with his sister and had a whole 7 hours to get adopted. A volunteer flagged him to a fellow Bad Rap rescuer and she hustled up and grabbed him before it was too late. I hadn't really planned on a second dog at that point, but once we all met him (and Pandora enthusiastically approved) I just couldn't bear to see someone else adopt him. After a lot of waffling and wading through the loads of applications that his pic was generating, I decided to bring him home for good.
Bio: Gunther is a sweet lightbulb head who has one gray eye and one bright blue eye - the latter of which he fortunately uses for good, not evil. He's great with other dogs and is particularly tolerant of puppies. He's also great with kids and served as a mascot for an inner-city boys' soccer team. Gunther's as sweet as pie and as sharp as a marble. Gunth would like to add that he's very proud of himself, as he passed his CGC exam on the second try (this time he didn't leap on the examiner in an exuberant hello).
Forums Motto: I'm just along for the ride
I've Been On Dogster Since:
Mom says she's a lot like me but she's way more mellow. I guess that's because Millie likes to roll around on her back for belly rubs while I race around the yard playing and jump in the air and stuff.
Pandora is even nice to Millie. Pandora isn't usually all that gracious to foster dogs, but I guess she's being nice because Millie is family.
Anyway, Millie needs a home. I haven't told her that she's not staying here forever, so I hope she finds some really nice people to take her home so she doesn't miss us too much!
Pandora thought she was the only one who got to play, but she was wrong. Tag, I'm it!
I guess I have to list the rules:
"Each player starts with seven random facts about themselves. Dogs who are tagged, need to post in their Diary the rules & their 7 pawsome facts. Then choose 7 dogs to tag and list their names. Don’t forget to bark them a pmail that they have been tagged and to read your Diary, or, send them a fun Rosette announcing they've been Tagged!"
OK, here's my list:
1. I am all terrier when it comes to tiny fuzzy prey animals, and have managed to catch 2 squirrels. I am very proud of myself - this isn't easy, Pandora can't catch a squirrel to save her life - but Mom doesn't seem to be very happy with my successes. Hmm.
2. Though I've bested squirrels, skunks have bested me. I just got skunked for the fourth time last week. (Mom's not real happy about that, either.)
3. I have a vertical leap that would make Michael Jordan envious, and can spring straight up off my four paws, upwards of 6 feet in the air.
4. I love to put your arm in my mouth when I'm feeling really lovey about you.
5. The command "Bitey Bear" is what you give me if my lovey arm bite is annoying you, and I'll go get a stuffed animal to carry around instead.
6. I am very afraid of cows. (I guess I don't deserve the "bull" in my breed name.)
7. I am also very afraid of loud noises like thunder and fireworks and surround sound (though I got more used to that), and I will make myself veeeeeeery small and curl up at the back of Mom's shoe closet (or in the sock basket or in another available closet) if any of these scary noises come up.
OK, here's who I tagged (shout out to old SmoFo pals):
You know, I love Pandora a lot. She's my sister, and we get along, and she shows me the way in the world. But for the past few days she's been really... (hold on, let me ask Mom the word...)
insufferable. That's the word.
I mean, I'm happy for Pandora. She deserves to show off her stuff and all, but I mean really. She keeps telling me that Mom is going to get all sorts of cool dog prizes and that she's not going to share them with me!
Mom is telling me not to worry, that we all know who the Alpha Bitch of the house is (I guess that's Mom), and that she'll be sure to share the spoils of Pandora's win with me and whatever foster dog happens to be here at the time.
I didn't want to point this out before, but I am in the 2007 "Unexpected Pit Bull" calendar, and it's for charity, and Pandora is NOT. So there.
I am Mr. October. And it has 31 days. And even though my month only has 31 days and Pandora has 365 with her title, I'll be hanging for the whole year and anyone who has it can look at me whenever they want. So there again.
I don't want to be... what's the word?
competitive. or conceited. both words are what I don't want to be, but I'm also a little proud that I'm in a calendar, even if I'm wearing a blue feather boa.
Mom has outed me already, and I'm not ashamed of my lifestyle, but I don't really feel the need to be so flamboyant all the time. A nice sweater will do just fine.
