Likes:
smelling bad, messing stuff up, jumping into your seat as soon as you stand up and refusing to move, stealing food off your plate, pretending that I don't know my own name

Pet-Peeves:
being moved while sleeping, anyone except my dad trying to hug me, people trying to take their seats back after I have obviously fairly stolen them and have made myself comfortable

Favorite Toy:
WHATEVER YOU'VE GOT, BUDDY

Favorite Food:
garbage, butter (stick form preferred), fish oil pills

Favorite Walk:
ANYWHERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Best Tricks:
crashing into glass doors, falling off chairs when rolling over, smelling really terrible, making a huge noisy fuss, tearing around the house barking at nothing, frightening much larger dogs with my mighty bark. I will howl when my family imitates sirens.

Arrival Story:
I was rescued from BHRG (http://bhrg.org/). I was a single mom and supermodel-thin! I have put on a little weight since then, but I am still petite. I had terrible separation anxiety at first and I would just cry and howl all day while my dad was at work! I have gotten a lot better now that I know that my family is coming back, and my brother Duncan is around to entertain me on days when we are home alone!

Bio:
Everyone seems to think that I smell bad, but they just don't realize that I have the delicate aroma of a lady. I like to roll in dead things in the yard before I have even dried off from my baths. My parents have gotten colognes and deodorant shampoos for me, but I have ways around all of that! I have a booming voice that carries throughout the neighborhood, and I can bark for hours at a time without getting tired or even changing the tone of my voice! My neighbors' humans seem a little irritated about this, but no one can resist my charming personality. I love my dad more than anything! I get jealous of anyone who gets more attention from him than he is giving me- including my Mom. Although one of my legs is messed up from my days On the Streets (it just doesn't bend like the others!), I have figured out how to jump and run as well as the next dog. Even if I look a little funny, I don't let it slow me down. I am willfull and stubborn and I will pretend not to hear my parents if I am investigating something when they want me to come inside. They're not the boss of me!
