All in the Family

Biography: I was adopted from the local animal shelter. When my parents came to look at the shelter, a nice attendant suggested they look at me after considering other pups. I came out like a good 'boi' (my parents like to pronounce it this way) and sat down beside them and gave them kisses...they say they knew then that they wouldn't be leaving without me. They named me Trooper because I was found on the street and had multiple bite wounds on my face and neck, then survived my time in the shelter. For quite some time I was the king of the castle, until they brought my sister home! I was mean to her at first, but we are now best friends. I love to snuggle under bankies..sometimes I get so comfortable I'm told I bark in my sleep! I like to wait until my parents fall asleep before sneaking into their bed at night to cuddle! I love to go swimming, but I hide in my kennel when it's bath time. My mom tells me I'm a very sassy boi, because I grumble when I don't get what I want! They also say I'm a sweet sweet man, as I give out TONS of kisses and LOVE to cuddle. I know how to sit, leave it, balance a treat on my nose, shake and play dead. I love treats, especially the sugar cookies my grandma makes! I also love Kraft Singles...my sister used to get her medicine in it, and I told my mom I needed a piece of cheese too! Now, when we hear a cheese wrapper opening, we try and convince our parents we NEEEEED some cheese! I also love when we get a special treat of tuna for dinner! My parents like to call me Handsome Ham, Trooper Boi and all sorts of silly names.
