Likes:
Chewing his Bully Stick, playing with toys, being with us, snuggling in his bed

Pet-Peeves:
Hates to have his nails trimmed; he screams like we are pulling them out! He is very anxious around other dogs.

Favorite Toy:
He love his home-made puzzle toy and a small ball with a hole in it, filled with kibble. He loves to bat it around and get the food out. Plus he love all the usual dog toys.

Favorite Food:
He goes bonker for popcorn! It is not food, but he loves tissues, papers towels & TP. Loves my home made soup, of course and likes Natural Balance kibble. And I give him vegetables that I have prepared for my parrots. He likes everything!

Favorite Walk:
Walk? What is that? He likes running in the yard at warp speed! We have been to the Off-Leash park ,but he is scared of dogs.

Best Tricks:
He learned to CATCH on Christmas Day 2004! He catches most things in his mouth. Some toys he uses his front legs! He will fetch! Sit, down, come, wait, and move-over (when he blocks the door, very important). His licks his paws and rubs his face.

Arrival Story:
I began researching dog breeds 20 years ago and decided the Papillon was right for me. We bought a house last year and decided to get a dog, then we couldn't find one. Some friends of mine almost got a Papillon, but got something else instead, and they helped me find a breeder in Marysville, WA with a puppy for sale. She had this little 8 week-old cutie and we were smitten.

Bio:
He is very intelligent, strong willed and inquisitive. He is also very coordinated. Although he runs around at high speed, he has never bumped into a table leg or anything. :==: :== : :==: :==: :==: :==: :==: :==: :==: He likes to ride in the car, and stick his head out the window. I tied a short leash to the passenger side headrest, then I clip his harness to it. He stays on the seat, can't jump out the window, or fly into the dashboard if I slam on the brakes. :==: :== : :==: :==: :==: :==: :==: :==: :==: He knows the names of all his toys. If I tell him to "Go get Froggie." He will look around until he finds it, then pounce on it. :==: :== : :==: :==: :==: :==: :==: :==: :==: He loves everybody, greets them like long-lost family. And he is not shy about about slipping us some tongue. Wag-wag-wag!
