Unique Traits:

Best friend:
Pappy, Ernie, and Sharon
Characteristics:
Wally is very attached to Pappy. He always needs to be near him. He loves to cuddle with us while sleeping at first, but will eventually move away to sprawl out. He is very vocal and has several different sounds. Within seconds he can go from a calm, sleepy dog to a tasmanian devil running through the house and running over or into anything that may stand in his way. He is SUPER fast and very energetic.
Things that amaze Mommy and Daddy:
He is so smart. He has tried to use his two front paws to twist the doorknob at the front door. He learns tricks within seconds. And is incredibly charming. He knows he's cute, and he sure knows how to use it after doing something naughty.
Pappy Van Wrinkle
Nicknames:
Pappy, Poopy Pappy, Pappy the Poodle, Snot
Weight:
41 pounds
Size:
Large in collars, medium in belly bands
Milestones:
Pappy knows look, sit, and stay. He is catching onto the game fetch, but has quite a ways to go with potty training.
Things he still needs to learn:
Going potty OUTSIDE, "off", "lay down", "come", loose leash walking, and "sit for greeting" (not jumping).
Favorite Chew Toy:
The remote control, the cat toys, Mom's underwear.
Favorite Food/Drink:
Cotton Stuffing, Wood Chips, Snow, Rabbit poop, and pureed pumpkin
Favorite Spot in the House:
The recliner and window sill
Favorite past time:
Breaking out of crates, breaking out of his collar, bullying Wally, peeing in his crate, crying throughout the entire fucking night, howling at Daddy when he doesn't get his way
Most naughty behavior:
All of the above, chewing holes in blankets, humping blankets, pooping in the middle of the street/sidewalk
What he hates the most:
Standing in the snow
Health Issues:
Bladder infection, Mange, Stomach Flu
Unique Traits:
Black spot on tongue
Best Friends:
Wally, Dr. Gerbig, and Sharon
Characteristics:
Pappy is super needy. He tries to come off like the toughest dog in town, but always needs to be near his Mommy and Daddy. He loves cuddling throughout the entire night and makes it very known when he is lonely. While he doesn't show it as much as Wally, he is very attached to his brother and would be lost without him. Pappy is more obedient than his brother, but is also very stubborn and doesn't always catch on as quickly. He is much more laid back, and would nap all day if he could.
Things that amaze Mommy and Daddy:
Pappy is very protective and is a fabulous guard dog. No matter where he is laying in the house, he is always facing the door. He sleeps with one eye open and is incredibly watchful over Wally and the rest of his family.
