Likes: Food, what else is there? I love my Mom's lap, and I demand her lap anytime she uses the hairdryer; I love that thing! Or if she says, "Want to go on a trip?" I get really excited!
Pet-Peeves: Baths - I love the hairdryer, but not the bath. Brushing - it's evil! I have cotton candy fur- it mats easily! So brushing sucks!
Favorite Toy: Does Greenies count? I'm more of a wrestler. Toys aren't my thing.
Favorite Food: Bill Jack's Pisa Pizza Treats, but there's no food that would be turned down.
Favorite Walk: Anywhere.
Best Tricks: Twirl (on hind legs), shake, roll-over, sit, stay, down, squat, high ten, leave it - anything for a treat!
Arrival Story: I only had one dog in my life and that was my then senior-aged, Pekingese, Tai-Pan. I didn’t want another dog. My Mom did. She wanted a Tibetan Spaniel. She knew of a breeder who had 2 litters born on the same day. One litter was a black and white parti litter. The other was a tan/red parti litter. I was with Mom when she was looking at these Tibbies. I couldn’t help but notice this black masked boy from the black/white litter. He followed me everywhere. He was the only boy in his litter and all his sisters picked on him. (He still gets picked on now, at home ,by his fur sisters.) I thought he was adorable. I loved his little mask. But I wasn't looking to get a dog. I already had the perfect one, Tai-Pan. So I told my Mom that she had to buy him. I wanted her to have him because he melted my heart. So did a blue-eyed girl, from the tan/red litter, (this being Skylar) that meowed instead of barked, but she was already spoken for (At the time). Anyhow, Mom chose Kai-Li, a red parti girl that was the “leader of the pack”. We visited often as they grew up at the breeders and the breeder knew how much I adored this black masked boy. I would have him come out to play with me, the blue-eyed girl too, when Mom had Kai-Li visits. The breeder noticed the boy was very short on leg, therefore not show potential. She told me if I wanted him I could have him for pet price instead of show price. I told her Tai was all I needed. However, Mom told me that Tai wouldn't last much longer and with him in wheels, this dog’s company may perk him up more since I was working more to pay for his wheels, meds, check ups, etc... I said then it would be Tai-Pan's decision. I asked the breeder if I could do a trial weekend. Because I didn't want to say yes, if Tai rejected him. The breeder loves her dogs and only wants good homes, so she said yes. I took him home to meet Tai-Pan for the trial weekend. On the ride home I had him in my lap and he whined and whined. I finally held him, but he continued to whine. So I had my Mom stop the car and I tried to see if he had to go to the bathroom. Nope, so the drive continued on, as well as his whining. I finally got him to stop whining by holding him one-handed, in the air, over my head. He's such a baby. At home I introduced the two dogs and both their tails wagged crazy! So Dawson stayed.
Bio: He is most like Tai-Pan, God rest his soul. I think Tai had a lot of influence on him since it was just the two of them for a few months. Dawson loved to lick Tai-Pan's ears, and when Tai had enough he would bark for me to take Dawson away. When Tai-Pan would bark, Dawson would raise his little paw and put it on Tai's mouth trying to shut him up. It was very funny to watch. Dawson is such a Mama’s boy. He is happy go lucky and loves attention. He is always on the look out for fun or food. He get jealous easily and Father’s everyone. He bathes all the dog’s ears constantly. Arwen's ears get so wet they fold back. He gets picked on by the pets too. It’s like he’s an easy target. He’ll play then get chased until he tucks his tail between his legs and comes running to me. He’s very intuitive and knows when you want company. He loves to cuddle all the time. When he sees treats he tries to do all the tricks he knows all at once. He gets so excited he trips over himself trying every trick until he hears the one I want. He loves Skylar. She is his best friend. They are usually joined at the hip. Dawson has a nose for trouble. Skylar doesn't, but she'll follow him in it. Dawson is always looking at the lawn that is greener. He loves what he doesn't have. But he is a dear boy. Kisses everyone he sees. Dawson is very loyal.

Skylar thinks we're old. I say 8 isn't old. You're only as old as you feel and I still feel like a pup. In fact, Mom shaved me for the summer so I look really cute and pup like anyhow. She hasn't taken pics of me in my dashing haircut. Shame on her. She better today for my pup-day!!!
I want to celbrate even though it's terrible outside. I don't care that it's raining. I just want to run and jump and lick everyone hello. Today is a good day. Especially if I get extra spoilings.
Everyone got a bath the other day! Mommy said we were getting stinky! I told her it was my own signature cologne, but she wasn't buying it.
She stared off with me, then Skylar, then Kiara, then Ami, then Arwen. The chis dried off fast, but us other three looked pathetic. Mommy and Daddy took me and Kiki under the dryer. We love the dryer... so does lil' Ami though he doesn't need it. But poor Skylar is terrified by it. She has to be towel dried and sit on a heating pad. she acts like it's the end of the world. I think she's scared of the noise it makes.
Anyhow, we all smell good and look fluffy... well except the short hair chis, they really can't be fluffy.
In a week it will be Arwen's birthday. I'm looking forward to that. I can't wait to have cake or cookies or whatever they buy to celebrate. But it will be soft and chewy, because we don't want a repeat of Arwen's first birthday. Choking is not on the menu.
Daddy has been working in our backyard lately. It's all forest. Well, Mommy and Daddy have been talking about building a bigger deck and tearning down the thorn trees forever. These trees have huge thorns on them like roses. And the trees are stories high. And the trees all come literally to the back door. So you can't see the forest through the trees.
Anyhow, Mommy and Daddy have been clearing out the woods. We had 2 squarrels that visited us every morning. They'd jump off the trees to our back porch. They're called Mr. Squirrel and Squirrel jr.
And Mr. is FAT! We tease that he's in a contest against Arwen. As he's about as big as her. Then Jr. is tiny. They visit and we give them cheerios and bread, whatever Mom or Dad is eating at breakfast.
Anyhow since they've taken out the trees closest to our house we have't see nthem anymore. It makes us sad. Especially the kitties. They loved watching them every morning. I hope when the deck is completed that they'll come back. They've visited us for 5 years!!
Then guess what?!!! Squirrel jr. was there today!! He was running around probably surveying everything! We were all so excited!! Our neighbors are back!!
