All in the Family

Biography: I am gentle, tender, loving, understanding, thoughtful, young at heart, playful, and a blessing (so says my hooman). I can sit where she can see me from the corner of her eye and I may stay there for many many dog minutes... "staring a thought" into my hooman's mind. "Throw the ball, or bone, or woobie, or the little boy dog who shares our home (::canine snickers:: just kidding) and I will fetch it." Sometimes I will fall asleep, and my "staring thoughts" will be forgotten. Oh, I'm still facing her, but my eyelids are closed, or my eyes rather roll up into my head and I become a kind of scary, demon-eyed looking dog. My jaw might open a bit and my tongue sometimes hangs out over my lower teeth -- a frightening spooky dog, with a goofy Scooby "like-wow" grin. Okay, back to my heartguard activities. I call them that as I could never consider them duties, for I love what I do, because I love my hooman. Not only that, but we canines are hard-wired to love, if given the chance, the hoomans in our keeping. We are spirit-mates - the sum of our two hearts sharing our souls. She is my hooman and I am her furkin. And it is a perfect arrangement, all around. I like: My easy chair. Being close to my human. Balls. Things to fetch--over & over & over. Camping. Riding in the car. Pet-Peeves: Don't like it when my human runs out of throwing the ball energy. Toy hoarder. I want clean arms & will wash them after I eat. Favorite Toy: Anything I can fetch. Woobies I can "draw & quarter" Favorite Food: carrots, apples, biscuits, bananas, bread Favorite Walk: Mountains, coast, anywhere really Best Tricks: sit, stay, down, shake, talk Arrival Story: As a pup, I became very sick with Parvo. I survived, but of the litter, I was the last one adopted. The others had been chosen and taken to their forever homes, but it seemed no one wanted me. I was thin and smaller than my littermates, a result of the Parvo. But God saved the best for last, and kept me in waiting for my human!!!!! I am a trooper, with a sweet heart! Bio: I am Clancy's younger blood brother. I am gentle, tender, loving, understanding, thoughtful, young at heart, playful, a blessing. I love to go camping!!! I am a sure-fire car riding addict. I love to go out with my humans and visit my cousin, Bear, a Black Lab. At night I love to put my head down on a pillow next to my human, stretch my arms out and touch her or hug her, all the while staring lovingly at her. Sometimes I tuck my head up against hers and sleep like a babe. I don't have a mean bone in my body. I am lucky to be alive and life is a happy place to be for me to be.
