Your Dog's Story or Bio
Bodhi is a Doxle, a beagle/dachshund (wiener) mix. If you know anything about either breed, mixing the two is like playing with an Ouija board and forgetting to close the portal. You have no idea the evils you've let loose in your life.

He's what you call ADHD if ADHD took crack before putting on a firework show. He has the survival instincts of a guinea pig; practically auditioning for the hit SpikeTV "1000 Ways to Die", and his brain is ran by his nose and unquenchable thirst for friendship. If Bodhi catches the slightest sniff of something interesting, he's nose to the ground hunting it. He's not going to look up, he's not going to hear you screaming for him or the cars coming down the neighborhood street, but like every good movie where the dog never dies, he makes it to the other side completely unaware of the almost 5 car pileup that could've been, and probably trying to swallow whole whatever it was that caught his nostrils.

On top of his not so great recall, he has this weird squeal-turned-bark then becomes a baby howl that he cant quite contain anytime he sees another furry friend - or anything that even remotely resembles one. While unsure if this skill proves how great or how horrible his vision may truly be, let it be known that you will be alerted to any and all wildlife in real life, and on TV, so be weary of the places you take him and the shows or movies you watch with him. Even Bigfoot horror movies don't stand a chance against this wannabe hunter's call.

Bodhi is the most lovable guy though. Anyone who's ever had the profound honor to give Bodhi a little scratchin' or lovin' can attest that he's gonna ask for seconds, and thirds, and so on until someone else offers their pats as reprieve, and so the cycle continues and his list of friends grows. He spends his days "volunteering" at his grandma's daycare as the mascot and therapy dog. You'll often find him sitting in the center of the playroom receiving the pets of several small children all at once, Bodhi just grinning from ear to ear all the while it's happening.

Bodhi is quite the Top Dog in our lives, and being that today is his 10th birthday and the same day Grind City posts about entering the drawing - I thought what better way to honor my special boy, the toppest of Top Dogs. Attached is a photo from a previous birthday (today's hasn't happened yet
