Interview with Sammy – This Week's Featured Collie!
  


Questions Answers
What is your favorite treat? I prefer getting attention from my family to doggie treats! Although I do enjoy getting treats if my fur-siblings are – please don’t forget me!
How do you feel about toys? I am learning to enjoy toys; this is the first time in my life I have had any. I especially like playing tug-of-war with the rope toys with my foster brother. Stuffed toys are nice too – I like throwing them around and when we are both worn out, I enjoy sleeping with them.
Rate the following areas as the best for a good scratch by your foster humans: (Rating from one to four "paws") Behind ears? – Definitely!!! I give that ! I will set my head down so you can reach better.
Belly? – Not on the first date but after I get to know you I would rate it a   .
Under chin? Hmm, only when I am in the mood, usually I turn my head so that you go back to my ears!
Big fluffy rear end? – Right now I am a bit underweight, my mom is working on that but until I put some meat on my bones back there you have to be gentle. If you do it right I give it a .
What are your 'pet' peeves? I am originally from South Dakota. I have been to 3 "homes" already in my first year, so tend to associate cars with switching homes which makes me leery of car rides - I am learning they can mean fun things like playing in the park but I still get anxious while in the car. The first home I was at had a big yard which I loved to run in but no one paid any attention to me so I starting chasing the neighbors cow. No one appreciated my herding so I was turned over to a rescue in SD. This rescue took care of me the best they could but didn't have much room for a big doggie like me so they helped me find MWCR. I adjusted well to living in the house & have decided that the best place to sleep is right on top of my mom's feet.  This also keeps her from getting away from me ;-). I am also scared of some men so I need a Dad that understands this and will work with me to help me regain my trust in men...I promise my love is well worth the work!
Do you kiss on the first date? I like to get to know you before I kiss but I will snuggle & I give great collie hugs!
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?
Hmmm, that's a tough one! I like going for walks around the neighborhood - I have lots of energy I need to work off! But I also love to play with my doggie friends - my foster sister loves to play soccer with me and we will chase a ball for hours! I think my favorite though is being with my mom & my kids. I like to keep an eye on them to make sure that they are safe and happy. I enjoy playing with my kids. Today I even sat and played "tea party"!
If you could choose any forever family - what would they be like? I'd love to have at least one person who could stay home with me all the time. If I can't have that I definitely need a fur-sibling to keep me company. I am still learning how to keep myself occupied while everyone is gone & I get a bit nervous in the house when alone so I prefer to be with my family. I also LOVE, LOVE, LOVE kids!!! They are my favorite! I would enjoy a home with kids or at least one where kids visit a lot. Kitties are okay, I like it best when they play with me but I will respect their distance if that is what they want. I have been looking for love for a year...that’s a long time for a young pup like me to wait! Can you help me?



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