Quick Bio:
-mutt-dog rescue

Birthday:
March 25th 2004

Likes:
Playing football fetch, Tug of war, morning walks, dog park, A Dogs Life Daycare, gutting stuffed toys, chewing on bones, laying on the couch and on the bed, eating the grass, chasing squirrels and birds in the backyard...

Pet-Peeves:
that darn squirrel that taunts me from the powerlines! Also leashes, gentle leaders, baths, the TV that mom watches instead of paying attention to me, getting kicked off the bed, when people mistake me for one of those trendy Labradoodles...pulllease!

Favorite Toy:
The spiny rubber football, stuffed toys that i unstuff and dismember, Galileo bones, my Tricky Treat ball, sometimes its hard to decide which toy to play with...my mom buys me so many.

Favorite Food:
Is this a trick question? Do I have to pick one? Flossies, chicken jerky, Mother Hubbard treats, icecubes, frozen filled Kongs, need i go on?

Favorite Walk:
Just around the "Birdland" neighborhood, to the local dog parks

Best Tricks:
Sit, down, shake, touch, drop it, leave it, and sometimes Wait!...but NOT heel or stay, unless a treat is involved.

Arrival Story:
I was a Carepets.org listing... previous two owners brought me back to the Humane Society of Silicon Valley for unknown reasons, all before i was 4 months old!? What fools! Thank you Carepets for giving me a good foster home before my adopters found me!

Bio:
I love every dog and every human, but i am a bit overexuberant when i meet them. Dad says I better calm down when I grow up...ha! I really am better behaved around the house and once i get to know you. I also love going to A Dog's Life Daycare in Palo Alto. They call me the Energizer bunny there. And as for toys, well, if I can hold on to it, tease you into grabbing it and playing tug of war with me, then that toy works for me! And the bigger and stronger you are, the better i like to play tug of war with you... if i win too easily, its no fun. And I will win.

Forums Motto:
Hap Hap... they call me Mr. Dog!

The Groups I'm In:
Carepets.org Alumni Association, Labradoodles and Goldendoodles, PWD's Rule!, wire-haired dog lovers and fuzzy faced friends

The Last Forum I Posted In:
Tell me about your carepets.org adoption story!

Ok, so my veterinarian who has PWDs thinks i might be a labradoodle.
I know what i said above about being mistaken for labradoodles... maybe i am wrong. I am sooooo conflicted.

How would a labradoodle puppy end up at the pound at only 3 or 4 months of age? I mean REALLY!?

I now appreciate all my labradoodle pup pals. And yes i look like all of you... so maybe. I do shed a bit though... Oh well. I have thought about this enough. TIme to chew on a new galileo bone my folks just brought home for me. Hurray!

 

My first day in cyberspace!

Wow, i am in cyberspace, where i don't have to sit and stay. Please play with me. Now let me outside. Now let me in. Now give me a treat. Now play with me again...just repeat. No one can resist me. Give it up! My will to play with you and to charm you is far stronger than your will to resist...

I posted a mix of pix from my 10 months with my new guardians.. some are when I was a really young puppy in summer 2004, and some shaggier ones are from around my 1 year birthday in late March up til May 2005.

I got a summer haircut the other day... it was sheep shearing really. "Just shorten it a little" they said! Ha! I am cooler now, but i look much more clean cut and less wild and beastly now...which Mom likes but Dad and I don't. The shaggy dog look is gone for now. Can't wait until my shaggy hair grows back and all that stuff on the floor and the lawn starts sticking to me again. The canine Swiffer will return!

I just discovered the extra bedroom, and the nice bed in there. Now when I get kicked off the main bed at night i can move in there and no one bugs me! Plus I can hear when my folks wake up better, so i can run in and wash their faces... the livingroom couch is too far away to hear them stirring. They act upset when i come in uninvited and lick them on the face to wake them up... but i know they really like it. Unless its those 4a.m. ambushes i like to do on occasion.... pretty funny. More to come later.
