My story

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

Beemon recently went on a Dog Day Out and here's what his DDO buddy had to say!

"Hi! I'm Beemon!
I am...
4 Years old!
-HeartWorm Negative
-Neutered Male
-Medium Energy
-Knows SIT very well
-Pulls a bit on leash but well mannered after energy release
-Jumps up to play but isn't rude about it
-LOVES to play fetch and jumps to catch toys and play tug of war
-Was great with my 5yr old DID NOT jump on him but is on the taller side and will lean against him and accidentally knock him over getting all the pets
-Is a great car rider; is a bit restless at first but settles very quickly
-Treat Motivated

Today we took Beemon out for a few hours to enjoy some sun and a doggy day out.

He did well coming out of his kennel but did pull some in the beginning and jumped a few times; excited to be getting out for the day.

Beemon did great loading in the car and hopped right in. He was a little restless to begin with and would stand, turn and sniff out the window but quickly settled and just laid down for the ride.

Our first stop was a SniffSpot where he ran and played fetch with the kids and climbed on all the doggy enrichment things they had! He also played hide and seek with the kids. He did very well with letting the kids have his toy to throw it over and over again. He will jump up to get the toy in excitement but did not jump on our bodies, only towards the toy. He is a GREAT tug of war buddy and will play it the whole time if you let him. He played hard for about 30 mins and then came over for a rest where he just sat with his toy and enjoyed the sun and conversation with the kids.

Our next stop was Starbucks and he LOVES a good pup cup! He also was very well mannered while the kids ate their lunch and was so sweet when offered a chicken nugget from the kids. He can get overly excited when taking treats but does very well when told to be easy. He will SIT regardless of the offering of treats but sure does love getting one!! He just sat and watched the kids enjoy their lunch and was such a well mannered boy. Would be a great brewery buddy!

Overall impression of this big boy is he is an overgrown lap dog who just wants attention and someone to love him and occasionally throw a ball for him to chase after. He's a bit of a dork and will always have a laugh to offer you! This big baby has a heart of gold and is ready to find his forever family!
