Hi there, I’m Ziggy!! Mom calls me that because I have these unusual zig-zag patterns on the outer edges of my ears. I’m maybe 3-4 years old and as sweet as any dog you’ll ever meet! I love people even though I have been abused, mom says she can’t understand why anyone would ever abuse a beautiful sweet boy like me but I guess it takes all kinds of people to make the world go around. I do cower if you move too fast and if you go for my collar I get really concerned, all I may do is mouth your hand and cower on the ground though, I don’t bite and probably never will, I’m just a mouthy boy. Of course I mouth all the time anyway even when I’m excited, I got so excited to see mom the other night I guess I pinched her a bit, she acted hurt but it didn’t even bruise, I mean c’mon, can’t a guy get a little excited?? (Besides, I think she’s a wimp anyway if that hurt!) Oh, and I love to snuggle, if you don’t want a snuggle partner then you’d better look elsewhere ‘cause I can snuggle and burrow with the best of them. Mom says I’m stubborn because she can’t keep me off the couch, I think it’s an endearing quality, don’t you? She won’t let me on the bed though so I’ve conceded to that but I love to lay my head on her lap while we watch tv.

Now, I get along great with dogs and cats, unless another dog tries to bully me then I will defend myself, I really don’t like being picked on. For this reason I could make a great only dog but would do well with one or two other siblings, as long as I get my snuggle time of course :)

I’m up to date on all my vaccines and I’m heartworm negative, mom says we’re going to the vet to get me neutered tomorrow, I’m not sure what that is but mom seems excited so hopefully it’ll be fun, we’ll see though, I’m not completely convinced just yet. I’m crate and house trained, I ride really well in a car but like everyone else I could stand to have some obedience and leash training. Oh yeah, the “so called” bad, I will get in the trash if you leave it open and I do sometimes counter surf, mom is working with me on that, you know, she’s really not that awfully fun sometimes. So, what do you think, you up for a snuggle partner?
