Likes:
Sleeping, sweets, friendly kitties, bunnies, car rides, sleeping by my feet, belly rubs, having a bed in every room (plus one in the car & two at Aunt Weeze's house!), barking at doorbells (even if they are on t.v.) & YOU, she adores new friends.

Pet-Peeves:
Dogs that are larger than her, mean kitties, Ziggy eating her food, mama going anywhere without her, vaccuums, fireworks, thunder storms, going to the vet, & most children. She used to adore the kiddos but is quite a crotchety old coot these days.

Favorite Toy:
No favorite toys, only favorite people to pet her.

Favorite Food:
Anything humans are eating. She will make her self sick on cat food given the opportunity. She has a wicked sweet tooth & will try to steal candy and loves doggie "chocolate" & cookies 'cause thinks she's getting one over on mama.

Favorite Walk:
Around our complex, but not too far away from home. She used to love long walks, but she's an old girl now and gets tuckered out fast.

Best Tricks:
She "knocks" on the door until let in, and sometimes you could swear she understands english.

Arrival Story:
Found her cowering in the corner of a kennel at the pound. All I could see were her big brown eyes, and I knew she needed to come home with us. She has owned me since that day ;-)

Bio:
She loves everybody, most of all mama. I am not allowed to go anywhere or do anything without her or I am in *trouble*. She pouts and shreds any paper she can get her paws on and leaves it in the doorway for me to find. She also likes to take the "kitty-rocas" from the litter box and leave them in the walkway, as if to say "see what the kitty did?". Sometimes she's playful and feisty with Uncle Mark. She likes mellow cats and tolerates Ziggy playing with her tail. She loves bunnies but mostly dislikes other dogs and barks like crazy at them. She has a few exceptions, as long as they are not larger than her. The only dog she ever really loved was her best friend, a chihuahua boy named Dakota. She hasn't seen him in over 5 years, but if you say his name she still goes nuts. She loves road trips and staying in pet friendly hotels. She loves camping, but can't hike like she used to. She doesn't like baths, but after them she gets all fired up and runs and rolls around, snorting like a piggy. She earned her nickname "Hog" because of the snorting and because she eats any food, especially cat or human, that she comes in to contact with. She is called Pinky because of her pink belly and the fact that she will shamelessly roll over to expose it to just about anyone. Everyone seems to have their own name for her.

Forums Motto:
Where did mama go?!
