About Me
Oh boy… my first home wasn’t so great. They just let my hair grow, and grow, and grow. At first I thought that was OK. I didn’t like the clippers so much. But then my hair started getting knotted. It finally ended up choking off the blood supply to my right leg. And then… somebody besides my family noticed. So there was a trip to a new location, lots of nice people, surgery — no more painful leg, which was OK ’cause I hadn’t been using it, anyway. And now I’m at this great house, with balls and toys and walks!! This is AMAZING! I had no idea life could be so much fun. I’ve got people to snuggle with and greet. In fact, I’m really taking my greeting job seriously. I think it’s one of the best parts about being a house dog.
I’ve still got some challenges. Like this walking downstairs, thing. It’s hard enough going downstairs on four legs when you’re as low to the ground as I am, but going down on three is a real challenge. And that’s OK, because with all the wonderful stuff happening, a challenge is just what I need to, er, keep me on my toes, so to speak. I’ve also got to find a permanent home/job — and that’s where YOU come in. I’d really like to interview with you for a position as family greeter/lap dog/all-around household pet. Got some time to meet with me?
