Likes: Thumper loves to ride in the car and head to the beach.
Pet-Peeves: Strangers petting her, strange dogs sniffing her, anything with wheels (skateboards, bikes, etc.), and not being able to go EVERYWHERE with me!
Favorite Toy: Her favorite toy is a stuffed dog that I bought her at the Three Dog Bakery.
Favorite Food: Anything from the Three Dog Bakery in Santa Barbara, California!
Favorite Walk: Her favorite walk in the world is on the beach.
Best Tricks: She has a trick that I call the "Low Growl". When she gets really excited sometimes she barks very loud, I tell her no and say "Do the Low Growl" and she makes this cute little audible growl that sounds as if she is trying to talk.
Arrival Story: Thumper has a special story. One of my neighbors came to my door one day and had this tiny little puppy that could fit in the palm of your hand. They asked me if I knew who the puppy belonged to, and I said no. I felt so bad for the pup, so I told my neighbor that if she could not find the owner of the puppy after knocking on some more doors to bring her back to me. Wouldn't you know it, about 20 minutes later they came back and handed me the puppy. I immediately called the local vet and made an appointment for the pup. The vet estimated her age to be only about three weeks old, way too young to be away from her mother. I was instructed on how to bottle feed my new pup and I took her home. We bonded quickly! I named her Thumper because when I would put her down on the ground she was so clumsy and unbalanced that she would thump into things. Now she is eight years old, healthy, happy, and my best friend in the world!
Bio: Thumper is a mixed breed dog. Since I do not know where she came from I do not know who her parents are. Her vet believes Thumper is a Chow/Husky mix. Thumper is also on a site called pets.ca.com. I posted her picture and profile at the end of December 2004. I was both honored and amazed that she was chosen as Dog of the Month for January 2005! That was one of Thumper's most exciting Internet moments!
