Quick Bio:
-dog rescue
Birthday: November 1st 2007 Likes: Dog parks, playing chase, fetching in the water, lying on the deck in the sun, getting treats, going to doggy daycare, and last but not least meeting new friends. Pet-Peeves: The vacuum cleaner, the water hose, when my brother cat swipes at me and my sister cat won't let me kiss her. And being left behind...I just don't understand why I can't go everywhere with you all the time. Favorite Toy: Furry little prey-looking toys like rabbits or squirrels, or anything that squeaks. I also love a rough game of tug! Favorite Food: Chicken jerky with peanut butter, dried duck, and dad's homemade pumpkin cookies. Favorite Walk: Anywhere, really. Best Tricks: Just bend down and kiss my paw because I am the Godfather. Arrival Story: I was adopted from Cascadia Basset Hound Rescue in Olympia, Washington. My mom was the Basset/Coon mix, and my father was a Chocolate Lab. I rode home with my parents on a rainy January day and sat like a warm shiny piece of coal in my mom's lap. On the tape player was the Grateful Dead's Franklin's Tower with the lyrics "Roll away the dew," and it was Shakespeare who said that Bassets have "ears that sweep away the morning dew." So I was named Franklin Coal Barbazino. Bio: I'm a cool, good-looking Bassador with some Coonhound mixed in for extra spice. You dig?At the dog park, I'm the welcoming committee, the peacemaker, the socialite, and I play really hard. Many are amazed at how fast I am and when I'm chasing another dog I let out this funny frustrated bark if I can't keep up that makes people laugh. I feel very lucky to have met so many like me here on this website, and my parents say that they feel really blessed to have me in their lives...I love them!
Favorite quotes heard by others about Coal:
"He's hilarious!"
*Laughter*
"He's like a Lab with his legs cut off!"
"I thought he was a Lab until he came up out of the water!"
"He's like a Basset with energy!"
"What's up, Stretch!?" Forums Motto: Huh? Ok! The Groups I'm In: "The Bassadors", Bassadors About Town (and Everywhere Else!), How do I train my dog to do that?
The Dog Show: Who's Your Mama?
