Quick Bio:
-mutt-pound dog

Birthday:
October 9th 2002

Likes:
Mom and Dad...then maybe food and toys, but really it's all about ATTENTION!

Pet-Peeves:
Being crated, not getting enough attention, very small dogs wanting to play with me, baths, people knocking on the door, people slamming doors, and GETTING MY TOENAILS TRIMMED!!! Worst thing EVER!

Favorite Toy:
Yay for Big Mean Kitties!!! And ropes and shreds of paper, plastic, tennis ball chunks...whatever else is handy. I have an affinity for socks and underwear, preferably Mama's.

Favorite Food:
Whatever you're eating. Except those Hot Tamale candies...

Favorite Walk:
Wandering out into the meadow.

Best Tricks:
'Sit', 'Down', 'Leave it', steal socks and underwear when no one is looking at me

Arrival Story:
I support higher education because I was a college graduation present to Mom from Dad! Anyway, Mom came to the shelter looking for an adorable puppy to adopt and she fell in love with me and my three siblings. Lucky for me, I was quiet and playful and was also Mom's favorite dog colors, black and white, so she knew right away she had to have me! She came to visit a second time just to make sure. When my adoption day came, Mom was afraid she wouldn't have a chance to get me because so many people showed up to adopt animals that day. It must have been fate because she was the first to pick the puppies out of my litter, and she chose me, although she would have gladly brought all four of us home...but then Dad would have moved out. I'd rather have Dad around too!

Bio:
I think you need a longer are for nicknames because Mama keeps coming up with new ones. I'm a pretty confident dog in my everyday routines, but I'm very timid and shy about new things. Other dogs are kind of scary, but little dogs are terrifying. Luckily, I love people - even kids! If you see me at Petsmart, I'm most likely sticking my nose up under your hand, waiting for you to pet me. 9-2-11 - It is with heavy hearts that we said goodbye to our sweet Samwise today. He was very sick, but he thankfully went very quickly. We will miss him terribly.

I think, therefore I scavenge.

Happy Birthday to me!

Well, it's a little late for my birthday, but I've been having trouble typing at the new computer desk. It's much higher than the old one.

Anyway, I turned 6 this year, and Mama bought me another Big Mean Kitty for my birthday. I never get tired of those things. My old one is still hanging around even though it doesn't squeak anymore, so now I have 2! I must be the luckiest dog in the world! 2 Big Mean Kitties!

In other news, I have been spending much of my weekend time with Mama and Daddy while lounging in the sun beams from the sliding glass doors. Nothing better than those sun beams.

That's pretty much it. I ate a loaf of bread and got in BIG trouble a couple of months ago, but that's been the only thing I've done bad. Yeah...

 

RIP Big Mean Kitty - I forget how many this is...

Today Mama came home later than she was supposed to. Grr. And then this box of tater tots fell on the floor off of the dining room table, and she was mad when I tried to give her the box back. But the tater tots mysteriously vanished! Mysterious...

Then we went to Petsmart where they attempted to trim my toenails. I must kick and scream more next time because they love it when I do that. They fed me tasty dog treats afterwards, so I must have been a good boy! Mama bought me another box of Snaps and yet another Big Mean Kitty! This one is actually bright pink and it squeaks unlike my old one that was gray with stuffing popping out and no squeaky except when I chewed on it a certain way.

So yay! I have another Big Mean Kitty!

My mama loves me.

 

Fleas!!!!

Oh no, I have fleas! Mama's been running around like mad today, washing my bedding, washing ME, and combing those little rude critters out of my fur. Everything was okay except the 'washing me' part. At least she has been distracting me with jellybeans. Man, I'll do anything for those jellybeans.

Mama and Daddy haven't been around much lately. I've decided that I don't like that, so I've started eating the wood paneling in my room. That'll show them. Although I keep overhearing things like "how the new place will be nice" and how "we'll be around Sam all the time." My little puppy brain can't comprehend, but it sounds like we might be moving, and I'm pretty sure they're taking me along. Hooray!

Oh, and last week was my birthday. I'm four years old! Mama bought me a cool rubber ball that she can put my Snaps treats in. Oh joy of joys!
