Favorite Toy:
The squeakless mouse

Favorite Food:
Whatever people eat...I despise dog food (even tho my parents keep making me eat it).

Best Tricks:
Shredding tissue...oh wait, that's NOT a trick?? Chewing my squeaky toys only when Daddy's sleeping, throwing my toy of the moment up in the air and catching it on the way down

Arrival Story:
My parents had recently adopted my silly pug sister, Dumpling, and wanted to find her a companion. After looking on Petfinder, they saw my sad-looking picture in a shelter and went to adopt me. The shelter said that I was a stray and had probably run away from home. I had big disgusting mats all over my body, incredibly dirty ears and fleas from head to tail. Now I get groomed regularly (HATE IT!!!) and have beautiful soft fluffy fur, although I still love rolling in stinky stuff. My mommy tells me I'm a special boy because I have different colored eyes - one brown and one blue. Everyone tells me how cute I am and how much I look like Benji from the movies. As for Dumpling...she hated me at first for diverting all the attention away from her. She was used to being an "only child" and didn't take kindly to sharing "her" turf with me. Gradually, she got used to me and we've been inseparable ever since. Now we share everything, including food (she steals mine when I'm not looking) and space. I mean, she sits on me all the time when neither mommy's nor daddy's laps are available!

Bio:
My mommy and daddy think I'm the world's cleverest escape artist. I've managed to get over a baby gate, hurdle a fence and emerge from a crate (after bending 2 bars with my teeth!). I guess I just don't like to be confined in any way. It makes sense considering my maximum cuddle time (before I start to struggle and whine) is 5 minutes. Oh yeah, I also don't like sleeping in doggy beds. Dumpling can have all the beds in the house because I prefer sleeping on the floor, away from everyone else. Occasionally I'll curl up on a rug or one of Daddy's t-shirts that he left on the floor. What's the weirdest thing about me? I must be the ONLY dog alive who doesn't like bacon !
