I have a love affair with breaking the rules. Rules I’ve created, mind you. I should probably change the name of this feature, so I can stop making disclaimers on all these great bloggy dogs. Anyway, here’s another rule breaker to love… Corbin, the American Mutt extraordinaire. He speaks for himself.
\n
\n

\"\"<\/a>
:: Monkey ::<\/figcaption><\/figure>Dog Questions
\nWhat is your name?<\/span><\/em>
\nCorbin!
\n
\nWhat breed of dog are you?<\/span><\/em>
\nMom calls me an American Mutt… they think I’m part American Staffordshire, part Lab, part Great Dane, part Boxer or Bulldog. I’m pretty sure I’m also part Chihuahua, because regardless of what anyone says, I’m a lap dog!
\n
\nHow old are you?<\/span><\/em>
\nJust turned 1 year in June!
\n
\nWhere did you come from (pound, rescue, breeder)?<\/span><\/em>
\nI came from a rescue, who rescued me from a Humane Society that was going to euthanize me.
\n
\n
\"\"<\/a>
:: Corb ::<\/figcaption><\/figure>What nicknames do the humans call you?<\/span><\/em>
\nMonkey, Corb, Corbie, Scooby (Doo)
\n
\nDo you like any of your nicknames?<\/span><\/em>
\nSometimes I think my name is Monkey! I only respond to Corbie if Grandma Lynda calls me that.
\n
\nWhat is your favorite walk\/hike?<\/span><\/em>
\nWe have a park near our house called “The Crossings” and that’s my favorite place to walk, mostly because there’s so many other people and dogs! And, most importantly, I get to ride in the car to get there!
\n
\nWhat toy(s) would you recommend to other dogs?<\/span><\/em>
\nWell, I eat a lot of my toys… My favorites are my KONG, Wubba and Nylabones.
\n
\nWhat is your go to toy?<\/span><\/em>
\nCurrently, my Rhino Bone made by Nylabone… I have YET to chew threw it and it drives me crazy!
\n
\nWhat is the most fashionable thing you wear?<\/span><\/em>
\nMy life jacket when I go on the boat!
\n
\"\"<\/a>
:: Scooby (Doo) ::<\/figcaption><\/figure>
\nWhat is the oddest thing you’ve ever done?<\/span><\/em>
\nI recently went to a minor league baseball games! Don’t think many dogs get to do that! Lots of fun!!! I also take lots of rides in my dad’s Firebird, I love sticking my nose out of the window, but only in that car!
\n
\nWhen you bark to other dogs, what do you usually say?<\/span><\/em>
\n“How YOU doin’?!” Only if it’s a lady dog though! Most guy dogs don’t like me off the bat and usually say mean things to me, so I get kind of upset and hide behind mom.
\n
\nWhat is the treat you will do anything for?<\/span><\/em>
\nALL OF THEM!!! But when mom really wants me to behave, she breaks out the hot dogs, they’re my all time favorite!
\n
\nWhat act caused you to receive the greatest punishment?<\/span><\/em>
\nHm, mom puts me in a sit\/stay in the kitchen while she cleans up the living room when I eat the couch… I get really sad, apologetic and regretful because I know I shouldn’t have done that. Honestly, that’s punishment enough!
\n
\nHow do you feel about cats?<\/span><\/em>
\nI have yet to meet one! But if they’re anything like bunnies, I’m sure I’d love to chase them and once I got them in a corner, I enjoy sitting and staring at them until they hop out of the yard! They confuse me…
\n
\nWhat is your greatest skill?<\/span><\/em>
\nI’m awesome at giving high fives.
\n
\nIf you could speak only one sentence in your human’s language, what would you say?<\/span><\/em>
\nI have a LOT to say… that’s why I have my own blog (http:\/\/cutecorbin.blogspot.com\/<\/a>)! I don’t think I could shimmy it down to just one word!
\n
\"\"<\/a>
:: Corbin ::<\/figcaption><\/figure>
\nWhat is your favorite human food?<\/span><\/em>
\nHot dogs, cheese, bacon, meat, bananas…
\n
\nIf you could be granted 3 wishes, what would they be?<\/span><\/em>
\nA bacon\/hotdog\/cheese meal breakfast and dinner, endless supply of stuffed animals for me to destroy, and my last wish would be for every dog to be able to have a loving home… I know what it’s like to feel hated and unwanted, and I couldn’t be happier with my home! I show mom and dad every day how grateful I am for them and the home they’ve given me! I want every dog to have what I have.
\n
\nWhat do you love most about your human?<\/span><\/em>
\nThat they love me and care for me, they laugh when I’m silly, they play with me and bring me to the lake so I can swim, they treat me like part of the family and it’s awesome!
