Quick Bio:

-purebred

Likes:
(In the following order) Balls in any shape and size, fresh raw bones, going for a ride in the car, and Ma and Pa.

Pet-Peeves:
Alone at home and dogs jumping all over me and pulling my ears.

Favorite Toy:
Hard to tell. They come apart so quickly. But the frisbee is good -- takes a long time to chew on. I stick with balls most of the time. Fresh raw bones from The Village Dog store.

Favorite Food:
Fresh raw bones, yogurt & rice, and peanut butter! (when I am not on a diet)

Favorite Walk:
Anywhere! Anywhere! As long my Ma or Pa walks with me.

Best Tricks:
When lying down, sometimes I put my feet in the air and people would remark that I look DEAD! That's not hard. I really want to learn my pal Jade's trick, shaking your hand.

Arrival Story:
Pa wanted a pure-bred retriever, Ma wanted any dog from the shelter. Made a compromise. Picked me up at a breeder in Petaluma. My brother or sister, my Pa promised, will be one from a pound. Nobody knows when. But, I think they are really happy. Ma smooshes me a lot.

Bio:
My ma said I was one of six boys and a girl. I was selected because the breeder said I was the most mellow of all of them. She couldn't be more wrong. Now that I passed two years, I'm learning to conserve my energy to fit my Ma and Pa's schedule. New favorite pastime: watching my Ma's legs while she works. Ah, heaven.
