I don't really remember my puppyhood, though I'm sure it must have been good. Somehow, though, I lost my humans and had to live on the street. A dog does what a dog has to do, of course, but getting to the shelter was a necessary step. I was not happy in the shelter. The staff was nice, but I didn't have much room or exercise - there were so many dogs. I didn't want to eat or talk to the people who came by.
But on 4/17/2015 I finally found my perfect family (they looked like push-overs)! The shelter told them I was five years old. This family has taken a lot of work, but I think I'll keep them. We live in Wilmington, Delaware.
I've forgotten my original name, but in the shelter they called me Jethrow. I don't feel like a Jethrow, so I convinced my new family to call me Sam. "Green Eggs and Ham" is my favorite book.

I’m highly talented. I can eat, walk, sleep, and play. And also do that other thing my family is always anxious about.
I'm highly trained. I know my name, Sit, Down (sort of), and Stay. I've also learned Water (for a drink out of my Gulpy when I'm taking my family for a walk).
I'm not really overweight, it's just the fur.
I rarely bark. Only when it's something important that my family needs to know about. Which usually happens around 3am, but, hey, I'm only reporting it.
