Likes:
Shambles likes ham, walkies, chasing cats and squirrels, Greenies, going for car rides, swimming at the beach, and relaxing on piles of pillows. He also enjoys being a guard dog, even though we don't ask him to.

Pet-Peeves:
Shambles dislikes cats, most dogs, people who try too hard, bath time, The Nail Salon, cats, and THE MAILMAN. If he could talk, he'd always be yelling, "GET OFF MY LAWN!"

Favorite Toy:
He is too dignified for toys. He absolutely loves treats of all kinds, though, and saves the big ones indefinitely. He treats them like babies, carrying them around, worrying about them, putting them to bed at night... Someone's a little mental!

Favorite Food:
HAM. He also thinks he will love anything you're eating, then turn his nose up at it if it's not meat or cheese.

Favorite Walk:
Walk? Did you say walk? When? Where? Now? When he sees the leash, he bounces 3 feet into the air nonstop until it's on him.

Best Tricks:
High five and The Ceremonial Kissing of the Rings. Hilarious.

Arrival Story:
I saw him on Petfinder.org and knew he had to be mine. He is smart, cute, and cranky.-this is a dog with attitude. It's a perfect combination. I only wish he didn't have such a hissyfit when we cut his nails. The groomer nicknamed him "Slash" and hinted around that we not bring him back. If he has a bad home haircut, then that's his own fault.

Bio:
Shhh. Don't tell anyone, but he likes to wear the sweaters that I knit for him.
