Likes: Did anyone say, "ball"? - chasing it - but mostly rolling it under furniture and whining until Mommy and Daddy get it out for me. Playing with my brother Hugo. Pet-Peeves: Getting a bath. Not being able to find my ball when I want to play. Favorite Toy: BALL - Ball - and ball. Favorite Food: Anything served at the table broccoli - asparagus - salmon - steak - and anything sweet, especially ginger snaps! Favorite Walk: The trail by the river: You have to alternate between jumping in the river to get wet then running up the hill in the woods to get dirty - then back to the trail to get dirtier- and then starting all over again! Now teaching Hugo how to do it just right! Best Tricks: "Head Down" - I lay down and put my chin down, too ; "Dance" - I twirl in circles on my back legs; and "Gimme Five" - yes - I will slap your hand and "give you some skin." Arrival Story: Our breeder actually picked him out of the litter for us, and we met him as soon as the breeder would let us come visit (around 2 weeks); we went to see him every week to 10 days until we could bring him home with us; We KNEW she had picked out the right dog for us ) but also knew we were in for a challenge when at 4 weeks he left his family crate and wouldn't come home . . . his "mom" had to relocate the entire litter to the new bed Abbott had chosen! Bio: I am used to my little brother now . . . he's not such a little wimp now, and he's fun to play with. We play chase - keep away - and sometimes, we even snuggle and take a nap!
