Here's what the humans have to say about me:
PEPPER---SOOOOOO CUTE!!!!! PEPPER IS AN ADORABLE, TWO YEAR OLD, 20 POUND, WIREHAIRED FOX TERRIER/BOSTON TERRIER MIX PUP. HE IS ONE PRECIOUS LITTLE GUY!!! WE RECIEVED A CALL FROM PEPPER'S FAMILY ASKING FOR OUR HELP TO PLEASE FIND PEPPER A GREAT HOME WHERE HE WOULD BE LOVED AS MUCH AS HIS FAMILY LOVED HIM. DUE TO A SUDDEN LIFESTYLE CHANGE PEPPER'S FAMILY REALIZED THEY WERE NO LONGER GOING TO BE ABLE TO GIVE PEPPER THE CARE, ATTENTION BUT MOST OF ALL LOVE HE ADORES AND DESERVES. "HE IS THE BEST LITTLE GUY, OUR BEST FRIEND" THEY TOLD US. THE MINUTE WE SAW PEPPER WE AGREED. THIS WAS A HEARTBREAKING DECISION FOR PEPPER'S FAMILY AS PEPPER HAD BEEN A PART OF THEIR LIFE SINCE HE WAS A WIGGLY, BOUNCY, 6 WEEK OLD PUPPY. HIS FAMILY ALSO KNEW HOWEVER IT WAS THE RIGHT DECISION AND THE BEST THING FOR THEIR "BEST FRIEND". DON'T PLAN ON KEEPING YOUR HEART WHEN YOU SEE PEPPER BECAUSE WITHIN MINUTES HE WILL STEAL IT. HE IS JUST A GORGEOUS LITTLE GUY. HIS COAT IS A BEAUTIFUL, SHINY "HIGH GLOSS" BLACK, HIS FACE, CHEST AND PAWS ARE A GLISTENING GLACIER WHITE AND WHEN THE TWO COLORS BLEND TOGETHER IT GIVES A TRUE "SALT AND PEPPER" EFFECT THUS HIS NAME. HIS COAT, CHARACTERISTIC OF THE TERRIER BREED HAS A "SCRUFFY" WIRY TEXTURE WHICH ACCENTS HIS FACE GIVING HIM BRISTELING EYE BROWS AND WHISKERS WHICH GIVES THE APPEARANCE OF AN "ENGLISH GENTLEMAN"----ADORABLE!!! . HIS EYES ARE SOME OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL WE HAVE SEEN, THEY ARE A DARK, RICH, CHESTNUT COLOR AND SEEM TO TWINKLE WITH EXCITEMENT WHEN PEPPER FIRST SEES YOU. PEPPER IS ALSO A BEAUTIFULLY BUILT LITTLE GUY STARTING WITH HIS COMPACT, PERFECTLY PORPORTIONED BODY CONFIRMATION. HE IS ALSO A PUP WHO IS IN GREAT SHAPE AND WILL BE ABLE TO KEEP UP WITH YOU WHEREVER YOU GO. BEING FULL GROWN AND ONLY WEIGHING 20 POUNDS MAKES HIM A DELIGHTFUL SIZE TO FIT IN ANY LIVING ARRANGEMENT. HE MAY NOT BE THE BIGGEST OF PUPS BUT HIS PERSONALITY IS HUGE. THE MINUTE THOSE GORGEOUS EYES POP OPEN IN THE MORNING TIL PEPPER CURLS UP ON HIS BIG SOFT BED AT NIGHT THIS PUP IS HAPPY 24/7 AND LET'S YOU KNOW IT. HE GREETS EVERYONE HE MEETS WITH WARMTH AND AFFECTION, WAGGING HIS WHOLE BODY, A TRUE COMPANION PUP. PEPPER HAS A GLOWING PERSONALITY AND TEMPERAMENT AND HAS DECLARED EVERYDAY A HOLIDAY, WELL TO PEPPER IT IS. ONCE YOU CALL HIS NAME NOW THE FUN BEGINS. HE WILL STAND AT ATTENTION, TURN THAT ADORABLE HEAD TO ONE SIDE(SEE PHOTO) EYES TWINKLING WITH EXCITEMENT AND PEPPER'S OFF HEADING YOUR WAY. GIVE HIM A PAT AND RUB, HIS FAVORITE TREAT AND NOW PEPPER HAS ADOPTED YOU AS HIS NEW BEST FRIEND. THIS SOCIAL GUY ALSO DELIGHTS IN THE COMPANY OF OTHER DOGS(HE'S EVEN FINE WITH CATS) JUST AS LONG AS HIS BUDDIES WILL PLAY WITH HIM. WHATEVER YOUR DAY CALLS FOR IS FINE WITH PEPPER JUST AS LONG AS HE GETS TO GO. HE WOULD BEAT YOU TO THE DOOR LOVING AN EARLY MORNING WALK OR JOG TO THE PARK JUST A CHANCE FOR PEPPER TO MEET A NEW BEST PLAY BUDDY. IF YOU HAD ERRANDS TO RUN AROUND TOWN JUST OPEN THE CAR DOOR AND PEPPER WILL HOP IN, FIND HIS SEAT,TURN AND LOOK AT YOU AS IF HE'S SAYING "COME ON I'M READY". THERE IS ALSO ANOTHER PART TO PEPPER'S PACKAGE AND IT DOESN'T TAKE LONG AFTER SPENDING A SHORT TIME WITH PEPPER TO NOTICE THIS PUP IS SOOOO SMART. BEING A COMBINATION OF TWO EXTREMELY INTELLIGENT BREEDS PEPPER HAS INTELLIGENT COVERED. HE IS AN EXTREMELY ALERT LITTLE GUY, ALWAYS AWEAR OF HIS SURROUNDINGS, NEVER MISSING A THING. HE IS A PUP THAT IS EAGER TO LEARN, LEARNS INCREDIBLY FAST AND ANYTHING NEW YOU INTRODUCE HIM TO HE WANTS TO KNOW WHAT IT IS AND WHAT IT DOES. THE POTENTIAL FOR THIS SPIFFY LITTLE GUY IS HUGE. WHEN YOU COME INTO YOUR HOME IN THE EVENING AFTER SPENDING THE DAY TAKING PEPPER FOR A WALK AND CAR RIDES TO RUN ERRANDS, IN HIS HOME PEPPER CONTINUES TO SHINE. HOUSE TRAINED WITH BEAUTIFUL MANNERS. HE IS RESPECTFUL OF HIS SURROUNDINGS KNOWING WHAT THINGS ARE HIS TO PLAY WITH AND WHAT TO LEAVE ALONE. WHEN YOU STRETCH OUT ON THE SOFA TO WATCH A MOVIE OR READ A BOOK YOU WILL FIND PEPPER CUDDLED UP AS CLOSE TO YOU AS HE CAN GET, NAPPING CONTENT, HE IS WITH THE MOST IMPORTANT PERSON IN THE WORLD TO HIM--YOU AND THAT'S ALL THAT MATTERS. WHEN IT'S BEDTIME PEPPER WILL CURL UP ON HIS SOFT BED JUST AS LONG AS IT'S CLOSE TO YOUR BED AND SLEEP THROUGH THE NIGHT AS QUIET AS A MOUSE BUT WE ALSO BET IF YOU WANTED A CUDDLE SOFT SPEEPING BUDDY PEPPER WOULD OBLIGE, BEING SMALL HE WON'T TAKE UP TO MUCH ROOM. AFTER SPENDING TIME WITH PEPPER WE FEEL THAT HE WOULD BE THE PERFECT COMPANION FOR A SINGLE GUY OR GIRL, A COUPLE COUPLE OR A FAMILY WITH OLDER CHILDREN WHO WOULD WANT TO PLAY WITH AND LOVE PEPPER. PEPPER ONLY HAS ONE REQUEST AND THOSE GORGEOUS EYES TOLD US THIS THE FIRST TIME WE SAW HIM. HE WANTS HIS FAMILY. TO BE A PART OF A FAMILY WHO WILL SEE WHAT A TREASURE HE IS AND LOVE HIM, THIS IS THE ONLY LIFE HE HAS EVER KNOWN THE LIFE HE DESERVES TO KNOW AGAIN. IF THE PUP THAT YOU ARE HOPING TO ADD TO YOUR LIFE IS ONE THAT IS EXTREMELY INTELLIGENT, HAPPY, PLAYFUL, LOVING SOOO ADORABLE AND LOOKS LIKE A SCRUFFY "ENGLISH GENTLEMAN" THEN LOOK NO FURTHER PEPPER IS YOUR PUP!!!!!
