BEST FRIENDS For 15 years we had Shea' and Sher, Chinese Shar-Pei's, born and raised by us in California and relocated to Illinois. Upon their deaths at age 15, within 3 months of each other, the loss was deeply felt and mourned. Not a day went by that we didn't grieve for them.
October 2003: Hubby surprised me with Boss & Buttons, Chinese Shar-Pei puppies.
BORN: Sept. 04, 2003 (Brother and Sister Litter-Mates) Birth Weight: less than 3 lbs Owners: Painted Pony & MusicMan October 2003 Training: Feburary 2004 They attended DOTC school for 6 weeks and Graduated from the Obedience Class.
Likes: I LIKE TO SLEEP!!! Relaxing on mom or dad's lap, Being sassy, eating, socks, toilet paper, running, having my tummy rubbed and Love all the sympathy I can get.
Dislikes: BATHS, Obeying, being alone, disposable foil pans and strangers who don't pet me.
Q&A:
Q: What do you do the first time you meet someone? A: Getting kinda' personal there aren't ya? I usually lick people's hand. Sometimes I get carried away and forget my training and will jump on people too. I'm completely harmless though. Biting isn't my style.
Q: Do you eat a lot of people food? A: It's possible but my Mom won't allow it so if I can find a forgotten food item that's been left out and I try to sneak the tasty morsel....AAAAAACH...Look out.... It's mom!! Mom and Dad give us some shredded cheese once in awhile though. Otherwise we stick to our healthy diet of our own dry doggy food of Science Diet.
Q: What do you do for fun? A: I like to play with all my toys and some things that aren't mine too.
Q: Why do you jump on the couch when you know you're not supposed to? A: Because it's there. It IS for US to use isn't it?
Q: What's your favorite mode of transport? A: We "Farm Dog" in the truck, van or car sometimes. It's fun as long as we don't go near the vet's office.
Q: Are you tired? Do you get enough sleep? A: It's a trait that we've defined, and mom and dad think we look tired, so we're allowed to get plenty of rest then. Sometimes I snore but not very loud. I sleep fine. Don't believe what anyone else says about it.
Q: Do you bark alot? A: No way. Once in awhile, when I want to wake Momma or when I try to act tough but I'm a softie at heart.
Q: What is your Favorite Saying? "The cat did it" (So What if we don't have a cat).
Okay, here's the deal...I'm a dog (I think). It's my responsibility to watch our house to make sure that no one bad gets in and bugs my people. Yes, I know I'm not supposed to be on the couch, but how else do they expect me to survey the scene? Work with us here!
