Gotcha Date:
July 29th 2003

Likes:
Herding his Momma and biting water from water hoses or his squirt gun

Pet-Peeves:
Cameras - he gives ugly faces when he knows it's around. lol He also doesn't like his teeth brushed.

Favorite Toy:
All his squeaker toys are his toys of choice, but he loves his octopus with multiple legs. He chews down the legs like they are corn-on-the-cobs. lol

Favorite Food:
Poop.... He also gets excited when you open the freezer even though he rarely eats a whole piece of ice when you give it to him.

Favorite Walk:
Any where poop may linger

Best Tricks:
Gonzo knows all the basic commands and also how to give 'paw,' speak, and hush.

Arrival Story:
I found Gonzo at a local animal shelter in Florida. They are a kill facility that kills by default after two weeks. He was on his last day before he was due to be euthanized and I just couldn't let that happen. I had went to a few shelters and decided I really wanted to get him so I rushed from one end of town to get him before they closed. His name was Little Bit but I changed it to Gonzo, based on Jim Hensen's the muppet because of his long beautiful nose.

Bio:
Gonzo is very vocal, from sighing really loud to making a whine in his throat, you always know he is around. He successfully completed obedience training and was awarded 'top dog' of his class. He got a certificate and a toy of his choice, which he loved dearly until some of the stuffing came out. lol

My my it's been awhile since I wrote in my doggone diary! Lots of changes have happened on Dogster... me likes it! So a few new things have happened since I wrote a few years ago. Mommy and me moved back to her home state. We live in a townhouse... of course she pays for it, but it's my dog pad. She just doesn't know that so don't tell her! I also got to see my Sissy before she went to doggy heaven. She was kinda quiet, though. She never wanted to play with me, but that's ok. I still had fun seeing her while I could. Hmm... what else... Mommy took me to the groomers the other day. I love them. They're so nice to me. They never want to give me back to Mommy, though. It makes them sad. :( I get a monkey butt cut, whatever that means. But anyway, it's time for my beauty sleep, so I gotta run for now. Woof!

Woof! I'm at Daddy's house this week and man am I having fun! Daddy left some Blow Pops on his nightstand and I ate 'em all on his bed. He told Mommy on the phone I left sticky stuff all over the bed. Hehehehehehehehe! Oooooh and like two weeks ago Daddy left an 8-pack of Bazooka gum on Mommy's nightstand and I ate all of that, too. I don't know what it is with me and this gum thing, but it's just so good! Oh well.

Mommy doesn't think I'm gonna like her after today. Something about a vet visit. I hate going to the vet's office. I don't like giving blood. Last time we went, they took me in the back and I howled for Mommy.

Well, not much else to write. Ooooh I am moving to Mommy's old home. Now I get to meet Bridgette, Molly, and Lillie. I get new playmates. Woof!!!

 

Woof, Wag, & Walk!

Man this weekend was great! Mommy, Daddy, Titus, and I went to a local SPCA dog walk. It was so much fun! Mommy gave money to the nice people and she bought me and Titus matching t-shirts. We walked around this huge lake and they had water stations throughout. I embarrassed Mommy at the first one we came up to. Titus was drinking and I went over to the cooler where they had the human water located and I tinkled on the side of it. Hehe. Mommy almost had a heart attack. It was great!

Anyway, we kept walking and everybody was saying hi to each other because of course other people and doggies were doing the same thing. It was so nice to see other doggy friends! We even got doggy ice cream (which I ended up puking later hehe). Mommy and Daddy say we ate it like we hadn't eaten before, but it was just so delicious. Even the people who gave it to us were staring over the table laughing at us. Hmph. Yeah well Titus poo'd in front of the registration table!!!! It was gross, too. It was real big and Daddy was embarrassed. He said he never saw anything that big come out of Titus' butt before. :)

Well, off to go sleep. I am tired from the exciting weekend!!! Until my next entry, woof to Dogster!!
