Sleeping. Preferably on a bed that's not his. He takes about six or seven naps a day. We like to think he likes his pumpkin hat. He also likes getting his ears pulled.

Pet-Peeves:
Going outside except for his morning walk, getting a bath, having air blown at him, having his claws cut. Going to the vet in general. He gets mad at his dog food sometimes....

Favorite Toy:
Badgie -- who isn't a badger at all, he's a Booda hedgehog. And Duckie. (We've been through several Duckies)

Favorite Food:
Garbanzo beans, fried eggs, cashews, and chicken.

Favorite Walk:
Anyplace where there's bushes........He also likes the creek up in the hills.

Best Tricks:
"Sit", "Down", and "Go to Sleep".

Arrival Story:
We lost our last dog after 13 years in August of 2002. In January of 2003, after being tormented by the happy pet owners while working in the local Pet Food Express, the Resourceful Daughter began looking into rescues. One looked promising, a dal-pointer mix just like our old Cookie, but the foster-mom was WAY too particular and decided that we weren't suitable because we didn't have another dog and her dog would be lonely. No comment. Later, I happened to be looking on the Peninsula Humane Society and saw "Raffles", an 8 year-old purebred dal who was easily the most pathetically sad dog on earth. See? There's his picture right to the left -- could you not adopt *that*? So Resourceful Daughter and Pushover Father went down -- just to take a look -- while Unassumnig Mother and Sister were out shopping. We came home with a 55 lb (underweight for his size) senior purebred dal. We renamed him Reggie...because what kind of a dumb name is Raffles?

Bio:
"Raffles" was surrendered to PHS on Christmas Eve. How sad! His surrender papers listed only the word "Escapes" as the reason. Interesting note...you can't *keep* Reggie out of the house. I've never seen a dog do his business at closer to light speed than Reggie...otherwise he's almost entirely sedentary. Also, empirical studies have proven that Resourceful Daughter is Reggie's favorite family member, even though Unassuming Mother and Pushover Father do all the feeding. Probably because Resourceful Daughter never tries to cut his claws.
