Likes: Attention!! Any and all food products. Loves it when he's allowed to sleep on the bed! Pet-Peeves: Not sleeping on the bed. Spending 2 hurricanes in a row in the laundry room with my Mom. It was a good set-up we hope never to be repeated. Missed the beddy. Hurricane season really cuts into the outside activities!! Favorite Toy: Anything he can grab in his mouth and play "keep away" (especially the non washable silk bedroom pillows). He also loves a good round of "let's annoy my cat brothers and sisters. " Favorite Food: He does enjoy the Poptarts, but loves a good bananna even more. Favorite Walk: Loves it when Jeffrey comes on his rollarblades to spin around the golf courses that surround our community. Best Tricks: Learning to be a nursing home visitor. Avoiding anything water related. Fell into the swimming pool last year and never plans to do so again. He told us he definatly does NOT have webbed feet nor an ability to swim! Arrival Story: Sometimes you just know he's the right one. Hobe looked at me and it was love at first sight. Our last Golden was a rescue with epilepsy and cancer. She lived only 7 1/2 years. Most of our animals have been rescues. However, this time we wanted a Golden with pure bloodlines from a responsible breeder. He comes from a line of champion service dogs in Europe ( I always train my dogs for volunteer work) so we were a perfect fit). Bio: Hobe was born in Budapest, Hungary. We met him in Southern Florida at 7 weeks. We shipped him to Pepper Pike, Ohio where he spent his first 9 months . We decided to relocate to Fl. so Mommy drove him back down to Florida to our new house. (the home of the infamous swimming pool) I've Been On Dogster Since:
