   Leave a bone for Toby

Quick Bio:
-mutt-dog rescue

Likes:
Chasing squirrels and bunnies, running in tall grass, practicing the art of invisibility.

Pet-Peeves:
He dislikes baths and brushings. He is territorial and gets upset when we have company. He has been known to attack the odd cousin, brother-in law or grampa! No more Christmases at our house...

Favorite Toy:
He loves plush toys, balls, and plastic water bottles.

Favorite Food:
Ice cream, from a spoon, without spilling a drop.

Favorite Walk:
East End Park, the part where the tall grass is over 5 feet!

Arrival Story:
I took my 2 sons to adoption day at Twyla's Friends Dog Rescue. My husband was on a business trip to Africa and specifically told me not to get a dog. I figured he meant just the opposite. I told my sons to look for a small adult wiry haired female dog to adopt. They must have figured I meant just the opposite. We ended up with a fluffy male puppy, who grew up to be Toby!

Bio:
Toby was very aggressive and hard to train. We had him neutered at 4 months. He had a fang grow in crosswise that had to be removed. He tore his ACL and had to have it surgically repaired. He has finally calmed down to be a wonderfully sweet affectionate pet, so of course we had to go and ruin everything by adopting another dog, our AmStaff, Annie!!!

I've Been On Dogster Since:
