Likes:
Tug and tussling and tug and swimming and tug... and fetching is fun, especially when they chase you and try to get the stick back, ... but I don't let 'em! Oh, and mud! Mud is good. Which leads to baths, which are nice, in a nice warm tub. Yeah.

Pet-Peeves:
Hoses are scary, and when humans turn them on you, you need to protest at the top of your lungs, and yell for help - help, help! - as if you're being kidnapped or tortured. Also, Dumbledore the cat is not very nice, and cannot be trusted.

Favorite Toy:
Ropes. Dad. Ropes and Dad.

Favorite Food:
Peanut Butter is yummy. So is dog food. Peanut butter AND dog food is doubly nice.

Favorite Walk:
The spa mud is very nice at Point Isabel, but the Dunn or Sibley, on a nice sunny day... hot-cha! Bring on the poison oak!

Best Tricks:
Exceeding expectations, and occasionally, ignoring expectations spectacularly.

Arrival Story:
The Herding-Pitt Meisters at Milo on 4th street had a full entourage of admirers - Teller's littermates were rambunctious wrestlers, and you could only tell which parts were Teller due to the freckles mixed in among the white wriggling masses and brown spots. Picked up and held, he immediately took advantage of the respite for a quick nap, in order to rest up for more play later. Of course, one hour later, he was in our kitchen wondering where everyone went. Perhaps one of those funny "cat" things would like to tussle... hmm...

Bio:
Teller misses his brothers. They look just like him, with brown spots on one ear or another or both, but no freckles. We met one of them, Ziggy, in Berkeley and they seemed to recognise each other instantly and wrestled and played like puppies. More recently, we ran into Chavez's owner on the street, but there was sadly no time to play. We hope there will be many family reuinions in the future!
