Nicknames: Rooskie, Rosquito, Mr. Muffaletta, Perro Canelo, Coltrane, Muffin, Nugget-Dog, Mr. Cheeks...and many, many more
Doggie Dynamics:
Likes: Playing with my sister Rosie, tug-of-war, chewing stuff (like Rosie's ears), lying in the sun, hiking, running in water, snuggling up in the big bed in the morning with mom.
Pet-Peeves: Not being allowed to jump on/slobber all over people
Favorite Toy: Ooh, I have so many! The best is rope, though, especially if there is a person or dog tugging on the other end.
Favorite Food: Ice, tomatoes, and anything I can get mom to drop on the floor while cooking by staring really hard.
Favorite Walk: Sam Lena (3 mile bike/walk path around a reservoir). Also any hike, especially if there's water to run in.
Best Tricks: Staying with stuff balanced on my face/head. Making people laugh when I stay even after you try to release me. Jumping REALLY REALLY high for sticks.
Arrival Story: My mom and dad were arguing and arguing about whether to get a puppy or an adult dog. It was an epic battle sometimes affectionately referred to as "PuppyGate 2006." Then they decided to "just check out" this place called--brilliantly--"The Puppy Place" to see if it was reputable, and they saw me, and, well...you know. I am EXTRA special, too, because I am a boxer with a TAIL! I was the runt, and the lady who owned me when I was born thought I was going to die, so she didn't get my tail docked when she did my brothers and sisters. *PHEW!* Then I lived--thrived!--and my mom and dad now think I am lovely and wonderful just the way nature intended! They call it my badge of courage. Also "wormtail" and "coffee table clearer".
Bio: I am the cutest dog on the planet. That is all you need to know.
Forums Motto: Can we play now? How about now?
The Groups I'm In: Boxers International, Smooshed Noses United
I've Been On Dogster Since:
Wow, I haven't been on here in so long! But I thought you should know about my SISTER. She isn't my real sister--mom and dad got her from the humane society. But she is the best present ever! She is going to have her own page where she can tell you all about herself, but I can tell you that I love her and I love to chew on her ears all the time, especially when she is not paying attention to me. She likes to play rough and tumble like I do, even when the neighbor lady yells at us for kicking up too much dust. Sometimes, like when mom and dad get home from work, she gets even more excited and crazy than ME! She runs up to me and starts jumping on me and punching me in the face, and I'm like "...Yeah, I know, they're here, what? It's not like GUESTS or anything." But I guess she is real excited to see them. She also sometimes steals my toys, but I don't really mind that much. We have a lot of toys.
Anyway, life is better with another dog around. I'm a lot calmer now that I have somebody to play with me all the time, and I still get plenty of love from mom and dad so I'm not too jealous. Although they don't let me up in the bed anymore--they always mumble something about me being too dirty now. Can you imagine? That's no excuse!
My new toy, Angry Mad Kitty, is the best toy ever! I can't stop playing with it! It squeaks, and it's fun to chew, and when I shake it it's all floppy...I love it!
Mom says "Best $9.99 we ever spent."
I am also still a big fan of red rubber devil. He makes a very interesting noise when chewed, and hasn't lost any parts yet even though I have had him for more than a month. He was free, though, because I found him in Gumpa's back yard and ran away with him.
Mom and Dad have been really busy lately and not playing with me as much as they normally do. I was getting sad and bored. Also hot, since it's getting to be summer now. But this weekend we went on an adventure! First we drove down to Gumpa Jay's house where it was all trees and rocks and good places to poop where nobody could see me. I couldn't sleep or eat because I was so excited to check everything out, and I got in trouble for marking the couch. But it was fun to see a new place! Then in the morning Mom and Dad put me in the back of Gumpa's big white van and we drove for a looooooong time (but I could lick their arms and walk all around in the van, and my bed was there for napping, so it was okay) and then we were at Mimi's house! Which is also Wolfie's and Atticus's house! Wolfie taught me how to bark at stuff that goes by in the woods, and how to be interested in chasing tennis balls. I taught him how to go to the dog park and play nicely with new dogs. His dog park is REALLY BIG and has lots of play equipment and stuff. It was awesome. I can't believe he had never been there before! No wonder he makes such terrible sounds when I come over--he is not used to playing with other dogs that are not Atticus. Except he does remember me and every time I visit he does it for a shorter and shorter amount of time. This time he really only did it the first day, and a little bit on the second day whenever I got too close to his mom (I don't know why he cares about that--I have my own mom! I don't need to steal his!) But now that he knows how, maybe he will go to the dog park more and get even better at playing with new dogs, and next time I see him he will make the bad noise even less, or maybe not at all!
We had fun playing all weekend all the time, and also sleeping around our Moms and Dads feet on the porch while they played Scrabble a lot. Then when we got back in the big white van, I went to sleep and have barely woken up since! I have a lot of sleeping to do to make up for all of that playing!
I like this "vacation" stuff. Let's do it again. After my nap.
