dog tag

Since I don't know of any other dogs who blog, I'm starting a meme and tagging any dogs who read this blog.

1. Your age?
I was born on April 17, 2007. So that makes me four months and six days old.

2. Your age when came to live with your people?
Nine weeks.

3.What color is the collar you’re wearing right now?
Black. It's slimming and it has a little bling in the shape of a bone.

4. Who is your favorite person other than the people you live with?
Hmm, that's a tough one. I like Cabrini and Karen from The Lofty Dog. But I also like Shannon, Angel, Tastypants, my woman's Development Exec, Grandma Angie and Grandpa Del.

5. How much do you weigh?
At my last veterinarian's appointment I weighed in at 8 pounds, but even though I've been eating these low-calorie treats I think I've gained a pound since.

6. Most expensive thing you’ve ever chewed up?
I've never chewed anything up completely, just nibbled on a few shoes and slippers, maybe the corner of the sofa (but I think it's a cheap sofa that she was going to reupholster, anyway).

7. Do you like other Dogs?
Yes, big ones, small ones, it really doesn't matter - I like 'em. Especially if they like to romp and play as much as I do.

8. Who is your best non-human friend?
My brother Cody and his loftmates. But I have a lot of other non-human friends, I just don't see them a lot because of scheduling issues. But from downtown alone there's Ruby, Kloey, Dalai, Sparky, Tank, Buddy, Luca, and Boo. Then, from the westside, my friends Gadget, Bella and Champoy. They came over this past Saturday night to hang out. They like downtown and we had fun running all around my loft and patio.

9. Squeaky Toys or Tennis Balls?
I prefer squeaky toys but I have a few tennis balls, too. However, my tennis balls squeak.

10. Do you like to be brushed?
I have to be in the mood for it, but the woman who takes care of me brushes me everyday regardless of what mood I'm in. She can be so annoying.

11. Peanut Butter or Cheese?
I haven't had either. I really like venison and salmon jerky treats, turkey gobbles, and carrots.

12. Do your people cut your toenails?
Are you kidding me? Have you seen their toenails? No thanks, I get mine done professionally at The Lofty Dog.

13. Any formal education?
No, not yet. I do know how to "come", "sit, lie "down" and jump "in the pen". The woman who takes care of me is teaching me to jump into a basket, then onto the daybed in the main room. I've only done it a few times, but I think I've nailed it.

14. Couch potato or Energizer Bunny?
The man and woman who take care of me say I get "puppy frenzy", but I'm usually happy to just hang out.

15. What are some nicknames your people call you?
The Little Emperor
His Imperial Majesty
Demon Dog (but only during puppy frenzy)

16. What is your best trick?
I don't really have a best trick. Does sneaking into the bedroom, grabbing a shoe and chewing it under the bed count?

17. Do you like kitties?
I don't know. What do they taste like?

18. What did you have for breakfast?
Kibble and a few treats.

19. Can you hunt (aka have you ever killed anything living)?
No, but I chased down a cricket for the woman to kill.

20. When & why was the last time you went to the V.E.T.?
A few weeks ago for my rabies shot.

21. Where do you sleep at night?
In my brand new, spacious and well-appointed crate, in the bedroom with the man and woman who take care of me.

22. Do you like to swim?
I haven't tried it, but I overheard the woman telling the man who takes care of me that she wants to get me a wading pool.

23. Can you make puppies?
I'm a little too young, but I'm gonna get "fixed". I'm not really sure what that means, everyone changes the subject when I ask.

24. Your favorite place to visit?
The Lofty Dog.

25. Do you give kisses?
Yes.

26. Can you potty on command?
No, but I'm getting better.

So that's me, now it's your turn. Answer the questions on your blog, then leave the link in the comments. If you or your owner don't have a blog, then you can answer in the comments.
