| What is your favorite treat? |  Oh boy, now I’m drooling! Biscuits are tasty, even if I have to perform to get them (you know the drill: sit, stay, speak, fix the leaky faucet, etc.). But when I can get it there’s nothing like a snagged piece of peanut butter toast left unsupervised on the kitchen counter just a moment too long. Yep, those treats I have to work to get with my superior cunning and quickness are always enjoyable. |
| How do you feel about toys? | What’s not a toy? I guess it’s fair to say that I favor toys that squeak when I chew on them, and also ones that have dangly parts that hang down and tempt my foster brother into trying to steal it from me so we can play some tug-o-war. The stuffed monkey we snagged from the toy box the other day looked real promising with its long dangly arms and legs, except that it kind of ripped into lots of little pieces once we got to wrestling over it pretty good. Maybe if they made stuffed monkeys out of kevlar, hmmm, can you get a patent on that kind of thing? |
| Rate the following areas as the best for a good scratch by your foster humans: (Rating from one to four "paws") |
Behind ears? Makes me melt.Belly? Like between my front legs and along my brisket? Can I roll over now to show you just where to scratch?Under chin? Awesome!Big fluffy rear end? Well now, I’m kind of touchy about that subject. You see, I don’t have a big fluffy rear end. If you’re into big & fluffy I suppose that’s OK, but I see a lot of benefit in having a luxuriously dense, sleek, shiny, easy-care, short haired coat, especially when it’s a gorgeous jet black set off by a brilliant white collar and rough, white underside and feet, and that cute plume of white at the end of my tail. Oh Yeah, I turn a few heads!What’s that? We were talking about scratching? Well, yes, of course I enjoy it when you work your way along my spine burying your finger tips deep into my luxuriously thick pile of my gorgeous jet black fur . . . |
| What are your 'pet' peeves? | That there isn’t someone to play with me all day, everyday. And that sometimes the humans leave the house and don’t take me with them. Especially when the master leaves. That last one really bums me out. |
| Do you kiss on the first date? | I’m not allowed to date at my age. I’m only 11 months old. Besides, girl dogs are so gross. |
| Would you rather - go for a walk with my human? Play chase with some doggie friends? Nap on the couch, rug or dog bed? Other? |
Now we’re talking my language. Playing collie games with my foster brother. That’s the best! Tag, chase, tug-o-war, wrestle, tumble, chase and tag some more, yep, those are my favorites! And when my foster brother gets worn out, playing fetch and tug-o-war with my human is good too! Oh man, that’s my favorite! And when he gets worn out, taking a nap is great also, at least until it’s time to play again! Yep, taking naps are my favorite! |
| If you could choose any forever family - what would they be like? | They’d be an active family that likes to take time for me and enjoys having a smart, handsome and lively dog, so we can play and do stuff together a lot. And maybe there would be a jogger in the family or someone who likes to take long walks daily. It would be really nice if they had another dog that I could play with. Kids are fun, if they’re old enough to know how to play with me. (But I may be a little too big and too rambunctious for small ones.) I especially like having an enclosed back yard to run and play in. I would hate being tied up on a lead. I do bark at the sound of sirens, and I like to tell people who walk by our yard that I’m there on guard, so the family would have to be cool with that (or live in a quiet area). If you want a fun lively handsome pooch, I’m your boy! If you want a quiet submissive lap dog, well I guess it takes all types to make the world go around! |
