Hello, hello! It’s me, Artichoke: the most squishable butterball you’ve ever met. Don’t let my physique fool you—when I get the zoomies, you might as well call me The Blur because, man, can I move! I’m just a big (but still totally little) softy who loves cuddles & kisses & all of the back scratches. And my brindle coat is super soft & pretty unique: my entire right side of my body is lighter than my left! I’m a handsome hunk o’ puppy, for sure.
I enjoy romping around with my brother and sisters and can be a bit of a bulldozer, but it’s all in good fun! Chew toys & stuffies are my favorite playthings for the most part, but you’ve gotta watch me at the water dish: I can’t resist a good paw spa every now and again, and I have been known to run off with the bowl, half-filled and splashing all the way! Maybe this means I’ll be a good splash pad buddy in the summer? Only one way to find out!
I dance for dinner & will sleep in my empty food dish if you let me…sometimes, I even doze off with my head in the *not empty* water bowl. It’s a refreshing way to snooze, I suppose. And when I wake up & need to potty, I already alert my foster mom to avoid making a mess in my bed! I’ve pretty well mastered using the puppy pad when I need to, and I think the transition to going outside will be a breeze with a consistent schedule!
