Biography: MIKE THE CHOCOLATE LAB Mike's mom says: His name is Michael Alexander I. AKA MickeyPooh, Pooh, Chocolate, Pussycat, Pupurucho and I think that's it. He is 4 years old. Mike was my first puppy and he is spoiled rotten, no doubt about it. Unlike labs he doesn't like to get wet at all. After drinking water he immediately gets behind the couch and rubs his face against the carpet until there's not a drop on his whiskers. Because he is so spoiled he only allows us to pet him when he pleases apart from that he is very independent. One thing he hates is being left alone (no brothers with him). When I have to leave him alone, he gets into the trash and spreads it throughout the house. But when he is with his brothers he's a great boy. His only and biggest flaw is that he can't see a door open because he will run away. With time this has gotten a little better and we are still working on it. He loves sleeping on my head and uses his paw to get my hair out of the way (ouch!), so it won't tickle his nose. His other favorite spots to sleep in are the sofa, the chimney, and the bathroom (especially in the summer). Mike thinks that he is the king of the house and is definitely the leader of the pack. He is passionate about food and squeaky toys. He enjoys eating ice cubes. Although Mike loves his other brothers (Jeff, Max, Sammy, and Johnny), after the loss of his baby brother, Tommy, he has never been the same. I am very lucky to have Mike as part of my family.
