\nWhat is your favorite walk\/hike?<\/span><\/em>
\nThere is this park by our house where a lot of other dogs go…I like to go there and smell forever. I tell my girl it’s like Downton Abbey for dogs.
\nWhat kind of pack dog are you (the A-dog; in the middle; ready to please)?<\/span><\/em>
\nI try to sass and boss and they let me a lot, but sometimes they tell me to stop. And I do.
\nWhat toy(s) would you recommend to other dogs?<\/span><\/em>
\nMmm…I don’t really like toys really.
\nWhat is your go to toy?<\/span><\/em>
\nI don’t know why I don’t really like toys.
\n\"\"What is the most fashionable thing you wear?<\/span><\/em>
\nI like to be naked at all times. But they did buy me a really pretty collar that I wear when we go walking.
\nIf you’re a reader, what is your favorite book?<\/span><\/em>
\nI don’t know how to read.
\nWhat is the oddest thing you’ve ever done?<\/span><\/em>
\nSpent an hour moving my stick all over the backyard to different hiding spots.
\nWhat is your favorite thing to roll in?<\/span><\/em>
\nAnything really smelly. Like bird poop.
\nWhen you bark to other dogs, what do you usually say?<\/span><\/em>
\nDo you want to play chase?
\nWhat is the treat you will do anything for?<\/span><\/em>
\nPretty much any of them! But I am particularly crazy about those little soft Buddy Biscuits that look like little guys.
\nWhat act caused you to receive the greatest punishment?<\/span><\/em>
\nRolling in smelly things. They give me a bath. And scold me.
\n
\nHow do you feel about cats?<\/span><\/em>
\nI am pretty curious about them. I want to chase them and play with them at the same time. There is one that comes in our backyard a lot–once we had a staring contest for a long time. I think I won.
\nWhat is your greatest skill?<\/span><\/em>
\nI can bring in the paper.
\nIf you could speak only one sentence in your human’s language, what would you say?<\/span><\/em>
\nMore food!
\nWhat is your favorite human food?<\/span><\/em>
\nAsparagus. Crazy about it.
\nIf you could be granted 3 wishes, what would they be?<\/span><\/em>
\nAll the food I want (which is a lot), lots of snuggles and to not have to get cleaned after I dig outside.
\nWhat do you love most about your human?<\/span><\/em>
\nShe talks sweet to me and rubs my ears. She gives me goodies too.
\n


\n\"\"Human Questions
\nWhat is your dog’s name?<\/span><\/em>
\nChippewa
\nWhat breed of dog do you have?<\/span><\/em>
\nShe’s a beautiful yellow lab.
\nHow old is your dog?<\/span><\/em>
\nAbout 10 and a half.
\nWhere did you get your dog (pound, rescue, breeder)?<\/span><\/em>
\nWe got her from SLCo Animal Shelter
\nWhat nicknames do you call your dog?<\/span><\/em>
\nChip, Chippy, ChipperJones, Alligator Pie, Pumpkin pie face, the most beautiful girl in the world, Baby, Little Girl
\nWhat words does your dog understand?<\/span><\/em>
\nSit, shake, come, goodie, chicken, stick, outside, inside, get the paper, snuggle, no more (her most unfavorite phrase), walk, wait, stop, go, leave it, shower (another unfavorite), and front door.
\nWhat is the best thing you’ve taught your dog?<\/span><\/em>
\nTo fetch the paper for my disabled father…she gets a goodie for it and it makes him laugh (plus he gets the paper!)
\nAre you the leader of your pack?<\/span><\/em>
\nSometimes!
\nDo you have other animals?<\/span><\/em>
\nNope.
\nHow does your dog make you laugh?<\/span><\/em>
\nWhen she prances around with her stick in her mouth. When she wants to shake hands (paws) when she is in trouble. When she does zoomies in the snow.
\nIs there any weird behavior you’d like to share about your dog?<\/span><\/em>
\nShe desperately wants to go out, so I let her and then she stands on the deck for all of 10 seconds and wants to come back in.
\nWhat is your favorite walk\/hike to take?<\/span><\/em>
\nWe have a walking trail by our home that is a beautiful walk. But she’s not crazy about it because from time to time she’ll get burrs in her paws.
\nWhat toy(s) would you recommend to other dog owners?<\/span><\/em>
\nShe has a red Buster Cube that we put treats in that she pushes around to get them out. It keeps her busy and engaged for a few minutes.
\nWhat is the best toy you’ve given your dog?<\/span><\/em>
\nProbably the Buster Cube.
\nWhere does your dog sleep?<\/span><\/em>
\nFall and Winter, on the bed. Spring and Summer on the floor or her bed…she gets too hot.
\nIf your dog could speak only one sentence, what would he\/she say?<\/span><\/em>
\nI’m still hungry!
\nWhat is the most annoying behavior your dog exhibits?<\/span><\/em>
\nWanting to go out and in 28 million times a day.
\nDoes your dog wear anything fashionable?<\/span><\/em>
\nWe got a super cute collar from Etsy for her (http:\/\/www.etsy.com\/listing\/63561498\/15-gypsy-martingale-collar). It’s a martingale collar because she learned how to slip out of a regular collar, but we are very gentle with her.
\nHas your dog ever destroyed anything in your home?<\/span><\/em>
\nShe once chewed up a sandal and a calculator. That was when she was much younger.
\nWhat do you love most about your dog?<\/span><\/em>
\nShe is just such a kind soul–so gentle with children and small dogs. But she also has some sass in her!
