Quick Bio:
-pound dog-dog rescue

Birthday:
May 29th 2006

Likes:
He likes Xander and Harley.

Pet-Peeves:
People on bicycles; but he's working on getting over this. He also hates getting his eyes & ears cleaned daily (but we have to do that so the "gunk" doesn't build up!).

Favorite Toy:
Sailor likes a green plush dog and pull-toy combo

Favorite Food:
Sailor likes a mix of steamed chicken (or hamburger), rice, and kibble. He also likes Cupboard Creations Natural Dog Food. He's currently warching his weight with IAMS Weight Management!

Favorite Walk:
Our local park for on-leash walks. For off-leash romps, without doubt, Sailor LOVES the El Segundo Doggy Park.

Best Tricks:
Sit for meals. He's getting better at "Stay."

Arrival Story:
At first, I was enamored of Wire Fox Terriers and researched them as much as possible. I even checked the online sites that dealt with terrier mixes and that was where I found Sailor. The Sam Simon Foundation had taken him from the pound, and he was adopted several times before I got him; the first man who adopted him returned him because he was "fear aggressive." My Sailor?? Amazing! I am eternally grateful to the Sam Simon Foundation for their generosity, patience and kindness in helping me acquire Sailor.

Bio:
Cesar Millan says you often don't get the dog you want, but you do get the dog you need. This was certainly true between Sailor and me! Sailor seems to think he's a Pomeranian! The Pom's like to perch on the window and watch for whoever's walking by (and usually bark at them!). A few days ago, my sister caught Sailor trying to do the same thing...and he's much bigger than the size for perching on a window-sill! Harley and Sailor like to play; Xander and Harley play "Indy 500" , where they race around. Sailor and Xander have only started to play...it's still in the early stages, but getting better!

Yesterday (3/19/09) I got a reply from the BioPet Vet Lab that my DNA Breed Identification test results were in. To my great surprise I found that Sailor's Poodle background is joined by Saint Bernard, more Poodle, Italian Greyhound, and Lhasa Apso. I wouldn't have thought Italian Greyhound or Lhasa Apso, but Saint Bernard? That's amazing! Sailor knows that I love him no matter what he is. :-)

Are we into another year already? And the end of February?? When did THAT happen???

First there was Thansgiving (all that terrific turkey!) and Christmas (MORE turkey...YAY!); I got a lot of wonderful presents at Christmas.

My Mom has been busy this past month on the computer...mostly practising her typing skills (getting a bit faster and more accurate!), but fun stuff too. She likes to play some of the games on Facebook (Farmville, Frontierville and Ravenwood Faire). Her real favourite is Wizard 101, where she gets to (what else?) be a wizard! Lots of really cool sounds and pictures are on screen when she plays...I like it too!

Doodles rule!

The Headless Horseman Rides Again!

My mom saw "the cutest" dog costume..."it was just to DIE for!" So, of course, she had to get it for me.

The Headless Horseman from Washington Irving's classic tale 'The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.' (Spooky, whether it's Johnny Depp or Bing Crosby!) And I don't mine wearing it (see the end of My Photo album, for the latest); I'm very accustomed to wearing my doggy backpack, and it really isn't all that different.

Then, of course, Mom had to show the Groomers my 'new look.' They were all smiles and squeals...and "Isn't that clever?"..."That is SOOOOO cute!"

I didn't mind at all, especially since it got me treats and tons of attention. What dog wouldn't like that? Thank goodness Halloween is only once a year.

Now Thanksgiving and Christmas, on the other hand...

 

A Shelter Lass

Every now and again, my mom checks sites like Petfinder.com in search of a nice female to be my bestest friend; I'd like a say in the matter, too!

She should be kind of a medium height and weigh about thirty pounds...yeah, that's what I am and I don't know if I want a girl to be taller than me. I'm pretty open about the breed (mom is, too). Mom thinks the way to go is to get another hypo-allergenic dog like I am...whatever, as long as she gets a girl!

Mom says that she will most likely get her from the animal shelter, so we will be saving a life. I think that's pretty cool! However, she says that she will probably wait till I am more fully trained and wait till we move to Washington (state). We will most likely move to Port Orchard or Poulsbo; the climate will be a lot cooler than it is in Los Angeles.

Breeds we've been considering so far are Poodle, Schnauzer and the Portuguese Water Dog. My mom saw a breed she really liked a lot...the Samoyed...even though it is a breed which blows coat twice a year. I saw the photo (a really great-looking girl named Roxy)...I think I'm in love! Roxy is on Petfinder and needs help now, and we can't adopt yet. "The course of true love never runs smooth..." Or something like that!

Roxy is located at www.petfinder.com/petnote/displaypet.cgi?petid=13921086. I think she's really pretty...she has a coat colored a lot like mine! Let me know what you think of her.

Whatever young lady we adopt from the Washington shelter, and whenever we adopt her, I know she'll be as loved as I am...and that's a whole lot!

Doodles rule!
