Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hello World,
My name is Oliver and I’m one year old and as cute as can be. Mom says I have a luxurious white coat, hazel eyes and a cute little pink nose like a bunny. I am a playful, smart (more about that later) and active pup of about 16 lbs, who enjoys attention and lots of long walks.
Dad says I’m a natural entertainer, who brightens every day with my happy smile. On the other hand, I’m aways happy to see him because to me, nothing is better than being with my people. I’m so excited to see Mom or Dad when they get home. In fact, I do this thing called “Oliver’s doggy waltz”. I dance on my hind legs while doing the bichon wave which, according to both Mom and Dad, is completely adorable.
Another thing I enjoy (not just enjoy, LOVE) is a good game of fetch. I will play fetch until I’m too tired to chase the ball, but this brings me to why I am so smart. When I get too tired to chase the ball I just bring Dad my stuffed toy. I can continue the game but Dad can’t throw it as far and it doesn’t bounce away, so that way I don’t have to run so far. Pretty smart, huh?
But life isn’t only just about chasing balls, I also love to play tug of war with my doggy foster sister. Mom says we are hilarious and entertaining to watch – and we can play that way all day long, too. (The size difference never occurred to me. I think we are truly kindred spirits!)
Then there’s this thing called ‘going for a walk.’ Whee! When the harness comes out, I am ready to go. I love my long walks, and if you are up for it, a run is nice too. Need to go somewhere in the car? I love that too. I sit like a gentleman in the back seat watching the world go by. Anywhere you want to go, I want to be there too. Mom calls me her velcro dog.
After a hard day of playing, I’m content to go to my doggy bed and sleep quietly through the night. But when morning comes, I jump up into the Big People’s bed and dive under the covers. We play this game called “monster under the covers” I, of course, play the monster (that is the fun part) and Mom and Dad try to catch me. Being the gentleman I am though, I always let them win.
Remember how I said I was smart? Well another reason is that I know all my commands including sit, sit-stay, down, down stay, come, heel and up. I catch on very quickly and would love to learn some tricks too! Oh and one more thing. Mom said to tell you that I also don’t mind being with those funny creatures that people call cats.
Mom and Dad want you to know that while I had a rough beginning to my life I have learned that people can be good and kind but need what my aunties call an experienced home and one with no small children. I need a home that includes lots of play and activity, where I will have structure and boundaries – and a big doggy brother or sister would be great too.
Oh yes, before I forget, Mom says that you probably want to know what my name stands for, so here it is: OLIVER = O is for Obedient and Oodles of fun, L is for Loving, I is for Intelligent, V is for Vim and Vigor, E is for Energetic, R is for Remarkable in every way!
So if you are looking for a great buddy, who is active, loves to play and is very, very smart, and have another furkid, then I’m your guy. Just ask for me and I’ll be waiting to meet you.
Tail wags and play time,
Original and One of A Kind, Oliver
