Likes: Walks in the park; flying when riding in the car; treats for tricks; friends of all kinds; licking plates; putting on his lipstick in the morning with Gram Pet-Peeves: Dog Eaters (better known as vacuum cleaners and lawnmowers of all kinds); baths are quite objectionable; having his nails trimmed Favorite Toy: Kong filled with peanutbutter; His "Kunk"(Skunk); His "Baby"; Rufus (his cat friend and much to Rufus' dismay sometimes too) Favorite Food: People food of all types; salad; giant beef bones; peanutbutter; dog treats from HIS cupboard Favorite Walk: The Trail; forests; anywhere Pop and Gram are going! Best Tricks: Complete rollovers (not the tricky half-roll); fetching the ball (or whatever is thrown) Arrival Story: Got the dog for our daughter but her long work hours prevented her from enjoying the dog. We brought him to our home (Gram and Pop's). He accepted the position of Dog Manager since Gram is the Manager of an apartment complex and Pop is the Maintenance Manager of the same complex. Makes it complete by having Desi as the Dog Manager! Bio: Desi was one of nine puppies at the SPCA - the only black and white one. Parentage is actually unknown, but as you can see from his picture, he is most like a Cardigan Corgi! He most enjoys sitting on the back of Gram's chair while she cross-stitches overseeing "his" apartment complex. He is quite famous here and quite welcome in all homes. He is almost barkless - but when he decides to let a bark fly, it sounds like a beagle bark. Figure that one out. . . . . He is the most gentle dog - even to the point where he allows his good friend, GusMan, to choose a toy from his toybox when GusMan comes to visit. His more aggressive female friend, Maizie, is even permitted to "take a ride" without fear of anger being displayed. I've Been On Dogster Since:
