Quick Bio:

-mutt

Likes:
Playing! She runs around with her toys like a demon, especially in snow, and indoors especially in the middle of the night when my roommate's trying to sleep.

Pet-Peeves:
Being in water. She hates baths but will submit... but I tried to get her into a lake once, just up to her knees, and she wouldn't talk to me for an hour. She also can't stand people or animals that lunge into her face.

Favorite Toy:
Her fleece stuffed gecko and tennis balls.

Favorite Food:
Anything people are eating - she loves cheese & steak.

Favorite Walk:
She prefers the woods where I take her offleash & she can climb rocks.

Arrival Story:
I really wanted another dog, and one day when I came home from work my parents asked me to come into the backyard to check some paving stones they were considering for the patio. Mom directed me to one type of stone, then another spot with another type of stone, and then pointed in the opposite direction & there was my dad with a 9-week old puppy trotting around the yard. I told her to "come," and she promptly put all four legs together and fell over sideways. I was in love.

Bio:
Meg's got a brother now, my cat Hunter, a shelter rescue. They're best friends & chase each other around the house, wrestling & rolling around. They're both instigators - he'll take a flying leap over the ottoman to land on her back, and she'll walk up to him & headbutt him in the side to knock him over.
