Sun Sign:
Birthday: September 26th 2003 Likes: Swimming! Cuddling & snuggling. Exploring. Pretending people are pillows. Pretending she is a bucking bronco. Pet-Peeves: Noises that sound like hairclippers, including any word starting with the letter "Z". Favorite Toy: Any large, stuffed item that she can wrestle around the house. The pillow from her bed, for instance. Favorite Food: STRAWBERRIES!!! carrots and apples, tangerine, sweet potato and MMMMM cherry tomatoes. Favorite Walk: Anywhere. But she hates putting her leash & harness on. Best Tricks: Dance! (will pirouette for food), Sohn! (will give paw when asked in Korean), Over! (will make feeble attempt to jump over Pa, but land on his stomach or face) and sighing very sadly when she is ignored. Arrival Story: We were living in South Korea in 2003 and first tried to get a dog from a shelter. Our attempts failed in part due to reluctance to adopt to foreigners -many of whom abandon their pets when they leave the country. We opted for a breeder instead. Since 2003 the pet adoption situation in Korea has changed a lot. Now we know of many more rescue groups & shelters in Korea and would never think of getting a dog from other than a rescue. Out of guilt for not trying harder to adopt from a shelter in the first place, I've also tried to fill the gap by creating an English-language resource for expats looking to adopt from or volunteer at a shelter. To read more, please visit AnimalRescueKorea.org. Thanks! Bio: Sage gives hugs, enjoys baths, and burrows under the blankets. She's also a great hostess to foster dogs and shares her toys, treats, sweaters, and cushions without complaint. We know we're very lucky to be her guardians and she is lucky to have found people who will keep her forever. Forums Motto: So Snootchy The Last Forum I Posted In: Dog Shipping Company? I've Been On Dogster Since:
I've been so busy the last few weeks, packing up my whole life and relocating the family to Canada. Great stress organizing the humans and making sure all my toys were packed, but it worked out fine and I am here! I didn't come alone. Dear Scruffy took the voyage in a crate next to mine on Air Canada 3 days before they decided to stop allowing pets on board. My family will never be travelling with them again, needless to say.
I guided Scruffy through Incheon Airport and introduced him to my grandparents in Canada. I explained to my gran and gramp that he is wild and not at all like me, so please be patient with him and of course they are. Luckily, Scruffy is an expert ear-cleaner and has been making up for his embarrassingly childish ways by keeping both mine and Chin Chin's ears sparkling fresh.
I also tried to show Scruffy to enjoy a splash in the Bay. Chinny learned quick enough last year though she is still much slower than I am (could be the kilos she's added since '06). Scruffy needs to be carried out into the Bay and then dropped so he can swim to shore! I don't do this, ma does. I, however, lead my pa to the sand bar and all around, like a fish.
I was at long last able to meet a little corral of dogs that my ma had been cooing about for months. Even though they live in my city, it took this long for us to meet. Why? My lazy ma doesn't bring me anywhere... Grrrr.
So last Sunday I met Wibi and his little brother Yoni, and their sister Pukka. Wibi has a Dogster page and you can read 7 facts about Wibi there.
Wibi is a romantic fellow who cares A LOT about his sister Pukka! Pukka is a lot like me, we both like to make our voices heard -perhaps I have some Mini Pin in me? No, Pukka is far more shiny black than I will ever be *jealous sigh*. And little Yoni is twins with Wibi only smaller, and he liked to kiss my pa! So cute!
I had a great time getting snacks and more snacks out of my friends' parents, I sort of wished they would adopt me. I liked playing on their blanket better, too, because Lazy Old Jasper was sitting on mine.
I can't wait for our next playdate, which I hope will be very soon! With any luck, I will sneak in a visit to their house where I hear they have 4 feline siblings who love to play, too!
I was tagged by the little sweetie Oso in Mexico. That's a far way to run!
I'll share 7 more Sage Facts, but I don't think I can find 7 more friends who I'm not too shy to tag back. Silly me! I did enjoy reading Smokey's and Oso's and Makena's and Hanalei's lists, though. Oh such adorable friends I have!
I will indulge myself by sharing seven more tidbits about me, me, me, if I can manage:
+ I like beer (or whatever I can lick off the empty bottles).
+ Ma sometimes wakes up and finds my head on her pillow and my arms sticking out from under the covers, exactly like her. I enjoy freaking her out like that.
+ I met a live toad last Thursday and didn't eat it, like my barbarian sista Chinny would've done.
+ My birthday is September 26th, I think, but we celebrate Birthday, Come Home Day, and Half Year Old days, too. Lotsa snacks around here.
+ When ma calls a foster dog and she doesn't come back, I shepard them back to ma. Sometimes.
+ I got a new temporary brother on Sunday. Welcome, Jasper!
+ In June I'm going to stay with Kyung Ah and Jake for one week while my folks take off to Shanghai without me.
I will try to find six more friends to tag tomorrow.
Tonight I will start by tagging CHIN CHIN.
2005 Valentine's Day Party!
