Animal Bio
When my previous dog went over the rainbow bridge, i lasted two weeks before looking for a new companion. I advertised for a older, under 20 lb non shedding dog. Almost immediately the phone rang. There was a dog who had recently lost his person. I drove to a small farm, and the moment he leaped out of the house, i knew we were a match. Our hair/fur was the same colour! GREY! He had been abandoned by his original owner at the dog sitter's, but she had kept him, and now she had passed away. Jacob is a Shit/Poo ( Shih tzu/Poodle), 11 years old and full of piss and vinegar. I am also a senior, and use a mobility scooter to walk him. He races ahead on his lead, convinced he is a husky, training for the Iditarod races in Alaska. I am not allowed to pet other dogs, because while he loves people and kids, he will defend me to the death from other dogs approaching. He loves the beach, but in 11 years hasn't figured out that ocean water is NOT good to drink. He is terrified of the smoke alarm going off, and the moment i start to cook, he wants OUT. He has the uncanny ability of knowing when the stove has been turned off and I am sitting down to eat, demanding to come in. I lovingly call him my S.O.B.
