Likes:
I love sleeping! I also love going for car rides, playing with my mom and dad, meeting and hanging out with the big dogs at the dog park (I am completely uninterested in other little dogs like myself, I'm in denial that I'm small)

Pet-Peeves:
I don't like when my siblings encroach on my space--I give them my best badger snarly face!

Favorite Toy:
I'm 11 years old and not very interested in toys anymore, but I enjoy chewing on chewies and greenies whenever possible

Favorite Food:
My mom kind of keeps me on a perpetual diet because I gain weight so easily, but I like my dog food and anything anyone else wants to give me. I'm allergic to tomatoes--they upset my tummy.

Favorite Walk:
Oh, anywhere--love the beach and love walking in my neighborhood. I really love to go hiking in the Gorge!

Best Tricks:
I'm no trick pony...but I can sit and come and do the basics

Arrival Story:
Unfortunately, I was a puppy mill puppy sold at Scamp's. My mom does not believe in buying animals from pet stores these days, but didn't know any better back when she was in college--she saw me and bought me out of the store window. And good thing she did--I was REALLY sick and she had to take me to the vet many times over the next 6 months to get me all well again. I was mom's very first dog as a "grown up". She had only had family pets growing up, before me. I came into the house and met my new brother--Simon, my most favorite kitty in the whole world. Simon and I immediately became fast friends and he taught me how to wash my face with my paws and would groom every inch of me until I was clean. We loved to snuggle together! Simon passed away in May of 2003, when he was 16, and I really miss him.

Bio:
I'm a pretty happy-go-lucky guy, but can get crotchety with my sisters if they are rough housing around me. I really love to lay on my mom or dad's pillow in bed and do my little thing where I just "go crazy" and do my "b-b-bite" game (I do a whole bunch of quick little nibbles with my front teeth on anything I can find, like the pilllow case)--that's really fun to me! Mostly I just really like hanging out and resting.

Forums Motto:
They call me the fun police
