Likes:
I LOVE to play soccer and also really like to fetch my sock monkey. I also LOVE to tear stuffed animals apart and rip out all their insides... I'm a little psychotic that way.

Pet-Peeves:
when my little sister Zoe tries to hog all of the attention, or when she attacks me all the time. I also hate hate hate getting my nails clipped and baths stink too!!

Favorite Toy:
my soccer ball is the best with sock monkey coming in as a close second. I have a new thing for gators! Mom just got me a new one that is really cool!

Favorite Food:
anything mom's eating, including broccoli!

Favorite Walk:
anywhere mom will take me. I was born to run free but ever since mom & dad moved to Manhattan I can't run around as much as I used to. I used to like off leash parks until the dogs all started stealing my squeaky soccer ball from me!

Best Tricks:
Zappa is my name, playing soccer is my game!

Arrival Story:
Mom found me on the internet. She'd never heard of us rats before but was looking for a puppy, found my breeder's website, saw my picture and fell in love. I can't say that I blame her... I'm pretty darn cute!

Bio:
I have a baby sister named Zoe... Mom got her for me to keep me company. We have the same parents although she's a year younger then me. And, somehow, despite mom's efforts to make sure I felt like the big dog in the family, she's twice my size!
