Leave a bone for Kierkegaard
Nicknames: Kierke-doddle-dogger, Filosopher-Furhead, Stealth-dog, Frog-dog, Comma-tail, Psychic-dog, Reverse Dog, Sir Dog, Snatchmo, Captain Kierke
Doggie Dynamics:
Likes: Playing chase, fetching mom's slippers as a surprise, riding in the car, chewing rawhide bones, attacking roots in the back yard, playing tug-of-war, chasing squirrels and birds and following mom and dad around the house.
Pet-Peeves: The same food all the time, the vacuum cleaner, firecrackers, and staying behind when mom and dad go in the car.
Favorite Toy: Rawhide bone, unless mom's slippers are reachable.
Favorite Food: He's a Wallace kind of a dog--He'll run in circles, woof like he has to go out, and even backtalk for CHEESE, please ! Peanut butter inside a kong, Fromm's Beef canned food & Duck & Sweet Potato dry food, PUPperonis.
Favorite Walk: Through the neighborhood to the park and the woods, or down to Pakak's house, his dog-friend.
Best Tricks: Jumping, sitting/lying down/rolling over/and running through tunnels. Also lying with his back legs out frog-style, going in reverse, and ESPECIALLY sneaking slippers secretly.
Arrival Story: We found Kierke at the pound calmly waiting for us at a time when we were very sad. He was only 9 months old and was left at the pound because his owner was deployed. When mom put her hand out to him, he immediately got up from the floor, wagged his tail, walked over and smiled at her, and then licked her hand. That was it! Although we will never forget his sister, Angel, we are happy to have a dog to love and brighten each day again. He is our golden boy, our sunshine, and the light of our lives!
Bio: Kierke is a very sweet and happy dog with athletic tendencies. He likes to run, leap, dig up roots in the back yard, and get pets. He's very funny and stealthy; he loves to psyche out mom and dad by sneaking shoes and startling us when he proudly presents them. He's learning manners and all kinds of commands, but he has a bratty streak. Sometimes he runs through mom's flower beds just for the devilry of it and once in a while he snatches mouthfuls of grass or flowerheads for fun. Mom and dad were amazed one day when he grabbed a mouthful of wild rose stickerbush and calmly ate it without one wimper. We probably should add "Iron-mouth" to his list of nicknames... It's strange because he's very gentle-mouthed with people and slippers! Kierke is more a "trick" dog than his sister was; he leaps and twists in the air very high just to get a look at who he hears and smells in the alley, or he'll actually run backwards out of the kitchen when mom catches him sniffing the garbage. He's definitely a mama's boy and even follows her to the bathroom. (He only sits outside the door) He also still tries to get in our laps as if he was a puppy. He and dad love to play tug-of war; he has really strong jaws and can shred almost anything. We had gotten him his own leash and harness--Angel loved hers--and the first night he sawed both of them in two! But he is a sweet baby with gentle eyes and often sits at our feet by balancing on his back legs, then very softly puts his paws on our laps, just to say "Hello--I love you!" Kierke also loves nothing better than to lean on a person for pets until he slides to the floor in absolute bliss!

The Last Forum I Posted In: Am I Ugly?
My Name: Since I'm big, red-blonde, and angelly-looking in the face with Viking behavior tendencies, my folks decided to name me Kierkegaard after a Danish religious philosopher. Go figure! I just decided that I was Captain Kierke and since I got here, I rule the ship! I'm more Viking than philospher, I guess, but I'm still sweet and angelic and loving! (Slippers, anyone? )
Thank you to all my friends for the great gifts and best wishes. Mom doesn't have time to do dogster the way she used to...working seems to take a whole day for most of the week! I love being home and not having to go anywhere. Anyway, thanks for thinking of me. Mom is very touched too.
I'm doing ok--I had to take antibiotics for a couple of weeks because I got a stomach infection; mom says it's because of the poopsickles--hee. She was kinda mad, but you know....Anyway, better now. Leda was soooo jealous when dad came home and took me to the vet! Mom gave us both a treat whenever I got a pill. Made my mouth taste better and Leda wasn't so anxious--you know how she gets!
Well, it's almost the equinox which means more light. Soon we'll be getting up to the 24 hour mark. We hope the summer will be warmer this year so that the flowers will bloom better.
Well, happy spring everyone (almost!). Love, Kierke
This came as a pawmail today and I know exactly what she means. My mom and dad really needed me when they found me...And there are sooo many more!

Subject: Maybe this can be hung on your cage or at a local shelter :) Sent: Tue Nov 18
Message:
I rescued a human today.
Her eyes met mine as she walked down the corridor peering
apprehensively into the kennels. I felt her need instantly and knew
I had to help her. I wagged my tail, not too exuberantly, so she
wouldn't be afraid.
As she stopped at my kennel I blocked her view from a little accident
I had in the back of my cage. I didn't want her to know that I hadn't
been walked today. Sometimes the shelter keepers get too busy and
I didn't want her to think poorly of them.
As she read my kennel card I hoped that she wouldn't feel sad about
my past. I only have the future to look forward to and want to make
a difference in someone's life. She got down on her knees and made
little kissy sounds at me. I shoved my shoulder and side of my head
up against the bars to comfort her.
Gentle fingertips caressed my neck; she was desperate for
companionship. A tear fell down her cheek and I raised my paw to
assure her that all would be well.
Soon my kennel door opened and her smile was so bright that I
instantly jumped into her arms. I would promise to keep her safe. I
would promise to always be by her side. I would promise to do
everything I could to see that radiant smile and sparkle in her
eyes. I was so fortunate that she came down my corridor. So many
more are out there who haven't walked the corridors. So many more to
be saved. At least I could save one.
I KNOW mom had roast bird in the house because I SMELLED it! I am half retriever you know and I know a bird from anything else. But did I get any for dinner? NO! But I got petted and mom washed my bed today and I got a bone, so I guess it's ok. We got to run around the yard for a long time too.I barked at other dogs, of course. Leda just watches...
Well, thanks for your friendship and the chance to know you all. And thanks for my home and my sister and my bones and my dinner and my bed and--speaking of which--I think it's night-night time. Happy Turkey Day all--Stay safe and have a wonderful holiday season! Love, Kierke
Oh and Happy Birthday to my Grandpapa who would have been 86 today. He's in heaven with my sister Angel and all the other dogs my mom and dad knew through the years. Please say a prayer for everyone at the Rainbow Bridge and their families. K
