Arrival Story: We had been discussing adopting a dog for a while, so we went to our local shelter to "look". We found Chipper and he looked so sad. We took him for a walk and he got so excited, we had to take him home! Unfortunatley he was heartworm positive, so we had to wait 2 weeks for him to be treated before he could come home. It was a long wait, but it gave us time to prepare for him to come home. Bio: Once we had our boy home, we discovered some extreme behavioral issues. Chipper is a huge resource guarder, not fond of strangers, or anyone touching him. He is not very fond of other dogs and can be quite grumpy with them. Thankfully, we found a wonderful trainer and developed a program to help him work through all of these issues. With the support of Dogster friends, Chipper's vet, groomer and trainer, we are well on our way to peaceful living. Forums Motto: That's MR. Momma's Boy to you!

Hi pups! Well, mom and dad got married. On New Year's eve they became Mr. & Mrs. Mom and Dad. I did not partake in the festivities. I opted to stay in a doggy hotel. As it turns out, though, I didn't really like it. There were a lot of dogs there and they all liked to bark and play and be rowdy. I just chilled in my little room and told the staff to go away when they offered to take me for walks. I missed mom and just wanted to wait for her. So that's what I did. I waited. And waited. And waited some more.
Don't worry pups, there was a special hatch door that led outside for potty breaks. I just let myself out when I had to go.
Anyways, after what seemed like ten or twelve days, mom finally came to get me. When they told her that I was having a bit of a tough time, she asked if she could go get me from my room herself. They let her and she knew right away why I was shut down. Lots and lots of dogs were there and they were barking like mad! I like peace and quiet and I couldn't go head chomp the noisy pups. Sads.
I was chilling in my run with my back to the people. That's when I heard mom's voice. She said "Chippy...guess who it is..."
I perked up.
I started to whine a little.
The kennel lady got my leash. I pawed the door.
She got my collar. I headbutted the door, whining like crazy.
She opened the door and I JUMPED into mom's legs! She hugged me and kissed me and leashed me up. I high-tailed it right to the front door! We went to the car and I nuzzled and snuggled and kissed mom the whole way home!
I haven't left her side yet and I have been home since Sunday, BOL! It's good to be home!
There's a raccoon in my Santa Paws stocking. He's peeking out the top and he's wearing a Santa Paws hat. He showed up yesterday when dad got home from Christmas shopping. My stocking is hanging up on the wall way up high and I can't reach it. I can see it. But I can't reach it.
