Meet Zippy!
Name: Zippy, also known as Poochie
Breed: Bichon Frise
Likes: Cheese slices, bits of carrot, and peanut butter-filled bones. He likes to sit under the counter while you are cooking to catch any food scraps that may fall his way. His favorite thing to do, however, is sit on your lap and be stroked. This also includes rubbing his front paws. He loves to lick your toes and enjoys the challenge of pulling socks off your feet. He is thrilled to get new toys, and destroys them in 15 minutes.
Dislikes: Being groomed! He hates to be brushed and squirms until he is free of your grip. With one quick shake of the body, he messes up his perfect “do”. He hates to be out in the yard for longer than 3 minutes without you, yet is constantly begging to go outside.
About Zippy: Our fluffy fur ball is the “prince” of the house. He has his very own comfy Lazy-Boy chair where he rests for much of the day. He has a large backyard where he can run around. He loves it when you throw him a ball, but after about 5 minutes of chasing the ball crazily in the yard, he collapses from exhaustion! Zippy gleefully greets guests as they arrive at our front door. He says hello by barking, jumping up on you, and if he really likes you, he’ll lick your toes, hands, or face. He has learned the commands “sit”, “stay”, and “let’s take a walk”. He has also learned to train his owners. Every night at 10:00 sharp, he goes to his area where he sleeps for the night and groans if we don’t follow suit and resign for the night. He is a loveable, wonderful dog who has brought great joy into our lives. His birthday is February 22nd and he will be 5!
