Pet-Peeves:
She HATES nail clipping with a passion!

Favorite Toy:
Human interaction indoors and hiking outdoors! Not into toys anymore since entering her senior years.

Favorite Food:
Dehydrated sweet potato "bones", YUM!!!

Favorite Walk:
The beach! We used to live on the beach! The 2 1/2 mile multiple loop trails at the preserve near our house!

Best Tricks:
She sits up spontaneously when she wants something. If that doesn't work by itself, she waves her front paws, if no one seems to notice, she add little woofs. That WORKS!

Arrival Story:
ADOPTED 9/30/2000, age 11 months: Bobbi-Girl was the only dog sitting quietly in the kennel area of Gulf Coast Humane Society when we came in. She had an inquisitive, yet sweet, look on her face that made us notice her immediately. The shelter biography described her in one word, KIND. As soon as we entered the "meet n' greet courtyard", we knew we were a family, but we spent an hour with her there to be sure she felt the same way! The best word to describe her to this day is still KIND!

Bio:
Bobbi looks a lot like a yellow lab (webbed toes & all), but obviously has other genes, too - she has GOLD eyes. She remained silent for 3 months after being adopted. (Maybe someone taught her not to make noise in a not-so-nice way???) The shelter said she was NOT housetrained per the previous owners, but she never had an accident!!!

MOM'S HERO:
Just once, Bobbi-Girl broke her self-imposed 3 months of silence during that time right after adoption.

We went outside one last time before bedtime one night. We lived on the beach back then. She went down several steps of our little cottage on stilts, heard something and blocked my path. She growled real low in her throat. I tried to get her to move, but she held her ground. There were 3 young men very near to the cottage next door which was empty. We didn't go any farther, Bobbi wouldn't allow it & it was obviously not safe for either one of us.

Next morning we heard they'd finally caught the 3 men that had been robbing all the empty beach rentals for several weeks!
