Owner: Debbie
About Me: I was adopted at the age of 4 months. I was a rescue dog and I was abused. To this day, even though I have the best family in the world, I'm still afraid of noises... like the computer printer (which I KNOW is going to kill me someday) and the smoke alarm when it goes off after my dad has burned the toast again. Scares me.

My Motto: "No birds are allowed in MY YARD!"
Likes: I like gentle snuggles from anyone!
Pet-peeves: When Kirby, my brother, tries to eat my food!!!!!! The kitties drive me crazy sometimes, but all I have to do is give 'em a little snarl...they know who's boss. Well, not really, I'm afraid of that, too...
Best Tricks: Don't have any....
Favorite Activities: I love to get brushed and snuggled. Being outside in my yard is one of my favorite things. Must keep the birds away!
Favorite Food: French Fries
Favorite Toy: Cow hoofies
Favorite Walk: Going around the block and barking at the people on bikes is really fun!
