Likes: Pound cake and other human food. That my dad is the Dogster "For The Love Of Dog" blogger, check it out.
Pet-Peeves: Pound puppies and not getting human food.
Favorite Toy: It used to be his feline sister Moose. He would chase her, catch her, stick her head in his mouth (no biting), and snuggle with her. Now after living with her for 13 years he's past that stage and prefers treats.
Favorite Food: Anything not in his dog bowl. He's also pretty fond of garbage pail surprise. Me, not so much.
Favorite Walk: Nature trail in the neighborhood.
Best Tricks: He will give you a high five.
Arrival Story: Here is my adoption story and an excerpt from my book Unleashed:Memoirs Of A Man's Best Friend, coming Oct '09 published by Kensington Books.:
We met back in the early 90's, December of '92 to be exact. I just had a major blowout with my first, somewhat dysfunctional family and decided that it was best for all if I just left. My foster dad gave me a ride to nowhere that ended up at a boarding house in Albany, NY. The place was great, warm with plenty of company, and their cheesy poof biscuits were to die for. On the downside, it was loud and smelly, not unlike me.
Even a lowly pug could smell her coming from miles away. It was Monday, as I recall, and the bells on the door jingled to announce her arrival. She was a beautiful blonde with a quick smile and a big heart. We'd seen this type before; they usually left with one of the pure bred puppies, but something was different about this one. My instincts told me that any canine would be darn lucky to go home with a dame like her, so I made it my top priority to be that hound.

Hi Pup Pals...For those who haven't heard, I just wanted to let you know I signed my paw print on a deal with Kensington Books. It's official, "Unleashed: Memoirs Of A Man's Best Friend" will be release October '09. In the meantime tune into Dogster's blog and my blog, boknowsonline, for all the latest news and updates. A great big thanks to all my pals who have supported and encouraged me. Woof!
I just wanted to let all my pup pals be the first to know that my dad has been chosen as Dogster's new blogger. Starting next Wednesday he will be keeping you updated on all things dog. Hopefully, they'll let me do a product review every now and then. He wants to make the blog a place where all pups will want to stop in once a day and see what's going on. As well as getting input from all the doggies out there about stories posted or things they might like to see on the blog. Woof!
Drugs. I don’t clearly remember how I’ve become addicted to them. It may have been my parents pushing them on me or maybe it was me demanding them. It’s all so hazy now. All I know is that I ‘need’ to have each and every one of my pills to keep me going every day. That’s why this story on an owner pilfering his dog’s drugs is so upsetting.
(DES MOINES, Iowa - A Des Moines man who was arrested for driving while intoxicated apparently took his dog’s pills by mistake.
Authorities say that Clarence Fenton had phenobarbital in his system when he crashed his sport utility vehicle into a utility pole last November. It took several months for the results of the blood tests that showed the drug in Fenton’s system.
Police say they found a bottle of pills prescribed for “Saturn” at the scene. They say Fenton admitted taking pills and that “Saturn” is his dog.
Phenobarbital is a drug used to control seizures in people and pets.)
It is not a drug to be taken if your owner’s primary goal is to avoid utility poles. It says so in the fine print, under side effects, right after ‘Taking this drug may result in weight gain, anorexia, uncontrollable gas attacks and/or crapping yourself in public’.
( Fenton appeared in court on Thursday.
He says he didn’t remember taking the pills but did take a newly prescribed antidepressant the day of the crash.)
Asked by the judge if he plead guilty or not guilty, Fenton calmly said, “Woof!”
( Officials with the Iowa Statewide Poison Control Center say people taking their pet’s medicine by mistake is more common that one might think. They say the center has taken about three similar calls this year.)
Maybe I’ll ask my vet for the human tamper proof prescription bottles on my next visit.
