Who’s in your adventure squad?  

My mom is my #1. Otherwise, I love hanging out with my cousins Huxley and Zaidy.

Favorite pastime/adventure? 

Fettttch! Throw me a ball and I am happy. The icing on the cake is if it's into water.

Special trick? 

I can potty on command, which Mom loves. But my favorite trick is "What's the password" because I get to boop your nose.

Favorite treat/snack?  

A frozen KONG stuffed with peanut butter, bananas, and crushed treat-os.

Are you a Winter or Summer dog?  

I am a water dog -- making snow angels in winter, or doing belly flops into the water in summer!

Best place to sniff?  

Anywhere. I love sniffing and "reading the newspaper" of what's around me.

Give me _________ and you’ll be my new best friend.

A round of fetch with a ball, or peanut butter

Favorite body part to be scritched?   

My honkey-tonk-badonkadonk... that's the good stuff!

Favorite nap spot?  

On the couch at home looking out the bay window. Or next to Mom on a camp chair (sometimes on top of her if I have a say in it).

Best doggie gear?   

Blue Chuck-It Tennis balls. My stuffed panda. My leash, because it means we are going outside to adventure. And my new HEST dog bed!
