Arrival Story: I work at a veterinary office and an elderly couple could no longer keep their little bichon-mix, and my parents finally caved and said I could adopt him :) I got Rio on January 10th, 2003 when he was 2 years old and my life has been better since.
Bio: Rio is a very energetic and happy dog. He is very smart and knows tons of tricks, his best being catching a treat off his nose. Woo! He is the dog that I only dreamed of getting! He's small in size, but he believes he is a big dog, for all of his friends at the park are over 50 pounds. Rio loves swimming at the cottage, and prefers to walk off lead. I am dragged to the park each night (he loves seeing his friends), and as soon as that leash is off you see him come to life :) He's my little bug.
Forums Motto: my little bug
I've Been On Dogster Since:
I've been going for more walks recently. Long walks too! Mum brings me to the park where I run free and play with her for at least an hour in the morning and night. We had great fun this morning, cept when I saw that mum had brought along her camera -grumbles- But, being a good boy, I posed and looked pretty... the two pictures at the bottom are from today!
Also, mum has been working on "stay" with me. I'm really good at it, but now she can place a really nummy treat on my paw (yes ON), say "Stay" and she can walk around the whole house and I won't touch it. When she is in sight, my eyes are always on her, otherwise, I just stare where I last saw her. She says I'm a really good boy :D
Recently mum has been mentioning something called "agility" to me. Don't know what it means... I'll keep you updated.
So I haven't updated in a while. Sorry! I've been quite busy! Mum has been keeping me up late to watch some of her TV shows (I've seen all the Buffy episodes now, and even watch when something vampire-ish comes on screen!) I haven't been going for many night walks recently... it's been so sloppy, but I do miss my friends. Tonight is snowy, so hopefully, if it isn't too cold, I will be able to get out. OhOh! Exciting news! Yesterday Mum dropped some cheese on the floor! Oh the excitement! It's like, I was wishing really hard that it would fall, and then there it was! Being a good boy though, I just stared at it until she said I could have it. Yummy!
It's been getting colder out recently... mum has bought my some new clothes (well, only one new sweater really) that I actually don't mind wearing. Earlier she bought me this really silly one that covered my *cough* you know... so I couldn't really go to the bathroom. That was uncomfortable.
Me and mum have been having great sleeps. Just this morning I decided it would be much warmer to jump on my big bed (where mum sleeps) and cuddle up pushed right beside her stomach. It was great! She has also taught me how to chase squirrels. Before I just kinda watched them from a distance, but now she lets me off my leash and I'm tearing down the field after them! Almost got one too... caught the little guy off guard. mwahaha!
That's it really. Not much to report on. Life has been good, and tomorrow I get some of my Performatrin Ultra stew :D So excited!
