My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hi, my name is Bruce and my foster mom calls me ‘ole blue eyes. I think that was after some guy named Frank Sinatra who crooned old songs; she just doesn’t understand that I am more of a Beach Boys type. I am pretty laid back, like sleeping in the sun, taking lots of casual walks, riding in my “Little Deuce Coupe” , and hanging out in the backyard having barbecues. With my looks and behavior I give off “Good Vibrations”.
Did you know that when you go to the drive through at the bank and bat your eyes, they send a milk bone to you through some fancy machine? That is waaaay too cool. I love riding in the car!
My foster mom says that I am excellent in the house. I always tell her when I need to go outside. My manners are very good, I come when I am called, sit, shake my paw, give kisses, and am learning more about the word stay every day. My favorite thing is when my foster mom and I are working together; she gives me lots of praise when I do things the right way. Sometimes, I get treats, too. I am also very patient, especially when she is on the computer. I have to tell you, you two-leggers, spend a lot of time on that thing!
I am not a barker, but when my foster mom leaves me, I do bark at the door. It is only because I want to have “Fun, Fun, Fun”! To be honest I just think I am missing out on something! I am a very loving, alert, calm, smart, and quite a clever young man of six years. The other day my foster mom left something on the counter I had to check it out and I must confess, I ate the hamburger roll. Grannie Annie would label me a counter surfer, but I think I am an opportunist, as I would not do that when anyone was around.
On my walks I have met several nice people and kids. I do like everyone. My foster mom says I am very good on a leash and when she chats with the neighbors, I am told to sit and I do just that. I have met several other canines in the “hood” and greeted them all amicably, but to be honest I just want to be the top dog in a house.
Oh, the other day the landscapers came. No one told me they were coming so, when this big old truck and all of these people arrived, I felt I had to let my foster mom know. After she explained what was going on, I was okay and actually tried to help them. I rolled and rolled in the grass. She says I am quite the clown. See, I am true to the breed standard!
I am looking for a “furever” home. I have many attributes, besides, my good looks. My coat is dense and a dark grizzle gray and I am currently sporting my summer beachwear, my markings are spot on, and my health top notch. I have a healthy, loving, and zesty attitude for life.
So with that said, as the Beach Boys sing, “Wouldn’t It Be Nice” to have a handsome fella like me in your home???
