Interview with River – This Week's Featured Collie!
  


Questions Answers
What is your favorite treat? I love cheese, gravy biscuits, got part of a stick of butter once…love plastic bowls and containters too, but mom says those aren’t suppose to be for me.
How do you feel about toys? I love to play, and I like my pull toys, but best is something of moms, slippers are great, empty plastic coke bottles - I like the noise! I love squeaky toys too….toys are great!! Sometimes mom brings home brand new toys for her riverboat, that’s what she calls me sometimes.
Rate the following areas as the best for a good scratch by your foster humans: (Rating from one to four "paws") Behind ears? – Oh, I love getting my ears rubbed, inside and behind. That is a
Belly? – Belly, is great and now I will lean into my mom and roll over so she can really rub my belly. That is also a .
Under chin? Not much for under my chin. It’s ok, but the side of my nose, I love her to rub that.
Big fluffy rear end? –  BEST FOR LAST!!!! Love that butt rub stuff. Just LOVE THAT.
What are your 'pet' peeves? I don’t like getting my nails cut. Scary for me and I make quite a fuss. Mom is very careful and only cuts the tip, but I can’t see what she is doing and I am very afraid of that.
Do you kiss on the first date? No, but I give lots of kisses when I get to know you. I’m a good kisser too!!!! Definitely a 5-star kisser!
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?
Play, Play, Play…..with other doggie friends. I love to follow the cats around too, I don’t hurt them, but I wish they would play with me more. They just kind of walk in front of me like they don’t have time.
I like going for walks with mom and the other dogs here, but I LOVE the dog park, especially the little dogs there who run fast, I can follow them pretty well.
If you could choose any forever family - what would they be like? Lots of love and exercise and a BIG fenced yard, for me to have lots of room to run. I would love another playmate too. I love smaller dogs. I do really well in the small fenced yard where I live now. I run 6 strides and then I turn fast and run the other way about 6 strides and then back again. My other dog friends here just watch in amazement at how fast I am.
Oh, and I love the little pool mom puts out. I jump in and out and splash, that’s great fun!!!!!
I am not completely blind. I see shadows but can't see close up very well at all. I am very used to getting around and do so very well. My mom says I’m a pretty good Boy!!!



And there you have it, folks, straight from the dog’s mouth.
