Name: Phoebe, but I have also been known as Twinkie and Pamella

Date of Birth:  September 22, 1999 

Breed:  Westie      

Location:  St. Paul, Minnesota

Human Pet:  Ellen and Craig

Favorite Toy or Hobby:

I like to run, and I love balls.  I also promptly attack anything that squeaks.  I really, really like going to the dog park and Small Dog Playgroup.  Obedience class is not quite as fun, but I'll take it.

Human Peeve:

Sometimes Ellen and Craig will actually be doing things other than petting me.  I nudge them and try to get their hands moving in the right way until their attention returns to its rightful place - me!  People. Sheesh!


Favorite Story About Yourself:

I spent five years as a mama dog in a breeding facility, but I got tired of having puppies.  Carol adopted me, but I had some trouble there because I like to be The Queen.  Then Craig and Ellen picked me up at a Culvers last spring, and I'm now a very spoiled girl.  (People always say that like it's a bad thing.)  We drive by that Culver's sometimes, and it makes all three of us smile!
 

Greatest Achievement (Personal or Professional):

I passed Level One and Level 2 of obedience training and in February I PASSED MY CANINE GOOD CITIZEN TEST!!!!!! That is a GREAT accomplishment for a lady of a certain age like me.  I can also go up and down stairs now, and I'm not as scared of strangers as I used to be.
 

Best Trick You Ever Played On Your Human:

Craig and Ellen tried to take me to a fancy-schmancy pet store when I'd been with them for about a month.  I got scared, and slipped out of my collar.  Craig lunged to get me, and landed on his knee.  He ended up being all right, but he hurt for a long time, and even had to be on crutches for a while.  I tried to show him how to walk on four legs, but he didn't pick it up.  He doesn't think this was as good a trick as I do.
