Racing into a dark pasture, which unknown to me contained three sleeping horses, and being kicked by one of the horses in the mouth---sustaining only a chip off one of my canine "fangs." Just doing my job, really.

Turn Offs: The vet's office, the vet's parking lot, the vet's assistants, I think you get the idea. It's humiliating.
Turn Ons: Being rubbed and patted by owner. Having ears licked by best friend and companion, Ashley, former racing greyhound
About My Family: My family depends on me to protect all of them from anything breathing, driving, or walking. I have a best friend, Ashley the rescue greyhound racer. I have a fabulous owner. I have to tolerate the two parakeets that get more attention than I do sometimes. We have just moved to a bigger house with a smaller yard, but Ashley and I have already cleared one area by biting a snake in half. Just doing my job.
I First Met My Human Guardian(s)...: As she walked down the line of pens in the Fort Myers, FL, Animal Shelter. She stopped at my cage for some reason, and I had to convince her to take me home by putting my paw out to take her hand. She tells this story to any human who will listen. It's true. I chose her as soon as I saw her. Love at first sight.
My Guardian's Favorite Story About Me: How I was roaming her ten acres in Alva, FL, and started barking weirdly. I kept barking and sort of howling. Finally, she drove the car into the pasture to shine the car lights on me to see if I was okay. That was when I put the real show on: I was attacking a 'possum and it was attacking me. However, I won and bit its neck in one final assault. Just doing my job.
Strong Suits: Attacking intruding creatures in my kingdom during the night. Protecting my owner from anyone/any thing that sets foot on the kingdom lawn or driveway.
The Craziest Thing I've Ever Done: Okay. I'll admit it; it was crazy. I ran full-speed into a dark pasture and discovered three horses there. Although I was fearless, one of the horses kicked me in the mouth with a back hoof, chipping one of my fangs. I guess I was lucky I wasn't killed immediately. Just doing my job.
Hobbies/Pastimes/Activites Chasing lizards, sleeping, barking at the doorbell, cuddling with my owner. I would get into her lap but I weigh 70 pounds and I just won't fit.
My Ideal First Date Would Be: Romping all over the dog park in Winter Park, near my home, playing in the water there, taking a nap in the sun.
The Perfect Day For Me: Eating, chasing lizards, sleeping, chasing snakes, sleeping, eating, etc.
Relationship History: Ashley has been my one true companion for over 7 years, along with my owner's horse, Wrangler, for about 4 years. Wrangler went to live with another human 3 years ago. I miss chasing Wrangler and Wrangler chasing me. We were evenly matched, speed-wise.
Other Thoughts: Why are you asking me all of these personal questions? Don't you have something else you could be doing?
