Food -- edible or not, doggie or "people" -- I'll eat it.

Pet-Peeves:
Well, I hate it when mom & dad eat & don't share. It makes me bark & growl. I also don't know why my kitten sister won't play with me. I think she is beautiful & smells good & all I want to do is love her, but she hits me & runs!

Favorite Toy:
Nylabones & rope toys are fun. Mom & dad's hands or pant legs are better, but biting those gets me in trouble. Chasing my tail is a lot of fun, but I can't catch it! Mom had to cut the fringed edges off my rope toy b/c I liked to eat them.

Favorite Food:
ANYTHING! I do love peanut butter & cheese, and yesterday mom took me to McDonalds & got me a little vanilla ice cream. I wish I knew what I did to earn that! It was sooo good.

Favorite Walk:
Anywhere you will take me is welcome as long as there is a suitable area for pooping. The snow was really confusing this year! I like going on long hikes with mom, dad & other doggie friends & running with mom or dad.

Best Tricks:
Tricks? Does chasing a laser light TIRELESSLY count? Oh, and did I mention? If you got food, I'm your man.

Arrival Story:
Mom & dad found me through the Mid-Atlantic German Shepherd Rescue. I know I'm not a shepherd, but the nice people of MAGSR thought my birth mom was a mix. My 2 brothers & 3 sisters & me ended up with this nice family in Baltimore. We were dumped in a shelter with our mom when we were tiny day old things. Our nice foster parents took us in until we could find home for ourselves. Mom & dad came to pick out a puppy one Wednesday night (I was the only boy left)so I stood up as straight as I could & tried HARD not to bite (though I think I still gnawed on them a little. It worked -- they thought it was cute). I was the biggest of the bunch, you see, so I made myself stand out. They couldn't resist my big brown eyes & my puppy kisses when they picked me up. So they put me in the car & off I went to my new *fur*ever home!

Bio:
I am a complete spaz. Mom always says that I am very lucky that I am so cute. But I am just a *little* puppy. At least I think I am. I have huge paws & weigh 73 pounds, but I still try to do all the fun things I did when I was tiny -- jump on mom & dad's heads & chests, lay on the back of the couch.... Mom & dad call me "clumsy" and "floppy" but I don't know what that means. It might have something to do with how I slide around on the hardwood floors. I try to grow into my paws, but they keep getting bigger with the rest of me! I don't understand. Mom runs marathons & wants me to help her train- I am getting better but I have to grow into these things first! I can run 6 miles & did it once, but I think that's my limit for awhile! It sure was tiring, but I was holding back. I would never tell that to mom though... she thinks she really worked me.

Forums Motto:
They call me Baxter Big Paws
