Pawsonality of the Month: October 2010 Hey guys! My name is Folio, but you can call me Leo. I’m the Pawsonality of the Month and I think they picked me because my name, Leo, means king. But don’t worry; even if I am a king, I’m not one of those snooty, royal types. In fact, I’m just the opposite. I love everybody and my people are my whole world. I usually don’t bark much, but if my foster family has been gone, I greet them with my “Where-have-you-been-I’m-so-glad-you’re-back-I’ve-missed-you-sooooooo-much” bark! It’s just my way of letting them know they are loved. Here at my foster home, there are other dogs and I get along well with them, but I don’t like it when they play rough or get right up in my face (that’s just rude). Sometimes I play with them, but I prefer to spend my free time taking my humans for a walk so they get their regular exercise. It’s important to keep your people fit, and if I don’t get them moving, they might just lump up in front of the television! In addition to the other dogs and cats, my foster family also has a little boy who is six years old. I like him and I’m very gentle with him, so I would be fine with a forever home that had little people in it as well as big people. The other things I like include cheese (yum), most kinds of treats, tummy tickles and hanging out with my humans. I’m too much of a gentleman to get up on the couch, but I love to lie on the floor by my family or in my doggy bed at the end of a long day and just think about what a lucky dog I am. My foster mom loves to pet me and she’s always telling me how soft and silky my fur is. You would think that would be too much of a girly thing, but when foster mom says it, it makes me feel all happy and warm inside. Are you sensing a pattern here? The truth is, though I get along with other dogs and even with cats, there is nothing I like better that spending time with my family. That’s why I would really like a forever home where I wouldn’t be left alone too much. When I’m left for long periods of time, I get so sad and bored and scared that I sometimes entertain myself in ways that are a tiny bit destructive. It isn’t that I mean to be bad, it’s just that I get really lonely. I wonder if there are any people out there who are lonely too and who would like someone like me to love them more than anything in the world. I’d be a great buddy for someone who lived alone or maybe for some empty nesters (I would make a super nest-filler). Since I like little children, I would also be good company for a stay at home mom. See how versatile I am! Well, that’s me, Leo. If you’re looking for a stuck up, nose in the air, royal type of collie, I’m not your dog; but if you are looking for a BFFF (best furry friend forever), look no further. I’m down here in Iowa just waiting to make you mine. |
