Likes: The sound of my leash, rides in the car, sharing a fudgesicle with my Mom, licking people, (especially little kids' faces), and anything to do with FEET! The sweatier, the better. (Mom says I have a foot fetish.)
Pet-Peeves: The mailman & meter guy. They don't even ask my permission to come in! I also hate the UPS truck or Harleys...even when they're parked! I like to wait for their owners and then bark at them as loud as I can! If only mom could let me eat their tires!
Favorite Toy: I really like my squeaky squirrel toy. Of course, a REAL squirrel toy would be much better, but Mom won't let me have one!
Favorite Food: Sometimes, if I am really good in the pet store, my mom will get some of those Natural Choice Healthy Desserts. The carrot cake one is pretty good!!
Favorite Walk: I love walking to the pet store about a mile away from where I live. The guys in that place know how to treat a well behaved dog like myself, and ALWAYS give me something good to eat.
Best Tricks: If you hide a treat in one of your hands, I can pick the right hand with my paw. (I love this trick!!) Also, Mom taught me to retrieve my cookie jar. All she has to say now is, "Where is it?"
Arrival Story: When I was ten months old, I got lost and was taken to jail. That is where my "mom" found me on www.Petfinder.com, and rescued me from that scary place.
Bio: After I got rescued, I went to live in a house in town with a huge yard to play in. I got to learn all kinds of things, like "heel", "sit", "stay", "down", "watch", and my personal favorite, "COOKIE". I get to go all kinds of places...the video store, the laundromat, the park, hiking in the mountains, I especially like the pet places, and I can pick those people in the red shirts out a mile away, and if I act cute enough, I just know they will give me a treat. Sometimes they forget, and I have to remind them when we're at the checkout counter. A hint for all you other dogs out there...staring intently while sitting politely works the best...it really lays a guilt trip on them. If that doesn't work, you can resort to putting your front paws on the counter and give them your best grin. I know, a little over the top, but it really works!!
Once in awhile, my "mom" takes me to her dad's ranch, where I get to play with the cows. A couple of times I got to help the ranch dogs move the cattle from one pasture to another. When a cow would try to turn back, I got to run at her and bite her heels to make her go the right way. It was loads of fun! My favorite thing though is to sniff out gophers or playing with the field mice when the pasture is getting irrigated. I listen for them in the grass or under the ground, and then I pounce! (Sometimes I have to dig first, then I pounce!) Yum! The ultimate in edible squeaky toys.
(Must be all that dingo blood in my background...I just can't help myself!)

The black dog with the airplane ears from Tennessee who captured all of our hearts is missing. She mysteriously disappeared from her home on Halloween day and is lost. Her enclosure appears to have been tampered with.
Hope is the "gas station dog", who eluded capture for a year while KM worked so hard to gain her trust. If you are not familiar with Hope and would love to read a heartwarmer, please read the thread, (and soap opera!), Very elusive stray pup.
Our hearts are breaking here over this sad news. Her family continues to look for her. Please pray that she is found soon!
Some time ago, a doggie pal of mine had a birthday...even got to blow out his own birthday candle!! I thought I'd give my pal Redford a birthday gift, and soon he was an anonymous recipient of a Dogster Plus subscription.
But, he is a cattle dogs, and us ACDs are known for our smarts...and he figured out that it was me who was the culprit.
A short time later, a very heavy, wonderfully fragrant box arrived at my house. A lovingly put together care package from New Mexico!! Things for me, things for Joey, things for Cleo, and even mom received some gifts!!
Redford and his mom and family had put together a box filled to the brim with wonderful things! She made Joey and I some beautiful personalized bandanas adorned with chili peppers, and toys and goodies! Cleo has some new collars, some home made catnip toys, and yummy cat treats, and mom received a colorful Albuquerque, NM shirt, (which she is wearing as she types this), and a lovely wind chime with dolphins, which the delta breezes here help to create some very pleasing music as it is right now. There are personalized magnets and a bookmark...so many other nice things.
Discovering Dogster has been a fun experience...but the cultivation of such friendships on Dogster has been most rewarding. Finding caring and generous people who begin by only knowing each other by the names and stories of beloved pets, which then in turn develops into friendships between humans.
Thank you so much, Redford and family, for the gift box, and especially for your friendship. We will treasure and value it always.
Today mom, dad, Joey, and I got in my new truck and went to the mountains for a day hike. It's been so long since we got a good off leash hike up in the high country! Mom put Joey's and my harnesses on, and we got in the back of my truck and headed up the road and out of the flats.
We found out our favorite trail was still under snow. As a matter of fact, the cold white stuff was everywhere! We were surprised; it's been so hot lately. Oh well, lucky for us! So, mom parked my truck at a safe place and we got to get out and play in it!
For those of you who have never experienced snow...let me tell you, snow is WONDERFUL!! It is THE perfect substance. You can run in it, play in it, dig in it, eat it, roll in it, and it makes this wonderful crunchy sound under your feet. It flies up into the air behind you as you run, sorta like dust, only it doesn't get you dirty. Mom even made snowballs for us to chase. FUN!!!!
This is my first real snow trip. We got to play in it once before, but it was melting and more mud than snow. This time the snow was deep, and it was all over the place. Joey and I ran and played in it for an hour before it was time to go! I think of how lucky those sled dogs are that get to run and run in the snow all the time. How pawsome is that to have that for a JOB??? If only I was a little bigger!
