Meet Otis & Maddy Mae


This week, we introduce you to two more of our most cuddle-able cuties, Otis and Maddy Mae.

Otis

Favorite Food: Dog biscuits

Favorite Toy: Stuffed froggy

Pet Peeve: When I have to sit to put on my leash before a walk

Obsession: Squirrels

Favorite Pastimes: Having my belly scratched

Most Noble Deed: Hopefully that's still to come!

Naughtiest Deed: I once toilet papered my bedroom...

Known Accomplices: Tootz and Ashle (my walkers)

Walker Comment: It's impossible to be in a bad mood with Otis. Before I even open the door, I can hear him jumping to greet me. And his jump is about the cutest thing I've ever seen - he's not a big guy, but he gets a couple feet of air each time and does a little wiggle midway. Don't let the picture above fool you - he's a compact ball of joyful energy.


Maddy Mae Meier

Favorite Food: Cheese

Favorite Toy: Tennis balls

Pet Peeve: Small yippee dogs jumping in my face in the streets of Minnie

Obsession: My Momma & Pappa

Favorite Pastimes: Hunting, swimming, chasing tennis balls and hosting Red Carpet parties for the Oscars with my Mommy.

Most Noble Deed: Breaking ice in Missouri at the Missouri Duck Club to retrieve a duck on the Mississippi River

Naughtiest Deed: Eating gingerbread men & women off of my parents' Christmas tree in Montana. I’ve also been known to sneak out to the horse pasture to eat some doo doo…

Known Accomplices: Casey Cakes (my little sister, a five month old Black Lab)

Walker Comment: The older, and thus calmer, of the two Black Labs in the house, Maddy looks out for her little sister Casey but still loves to play like a puppy. She might have hunting dog skills, but that doesn't mean she's not also a little Hollywood. She sure does love her tennis balls, too, and is always eager to drop a slobbery one in your lap to let you know she'd like to play.

Meet Boomer, Buddy & Boo Boo

This week, we introduce you to an alliterative set of boisterous, bouncing buddies, from bitty to big. Meet Boomer, Buddy and Boo Boo.

Boomer

Favorite Food: Absolutely anything

Favorite Toy: Stuffed monkey

Pet Peeve: When my dog parents don't let me get up before 7AM on the weekends

Obsession: Playing fetch and chewing my nylabone

Favorite Pastimes: Same as my obsessions - I also like going to the dog park

Most Noble Deed: Barking when I hear strangers approaching the house

Naughtiest Deed: Chewing the corners of the walls

Known Accomplices: My dog dad likes to let me get up on the couch when my dog mom isn't looking

Walker Comment: Boomer's still a puppy, but you'd hardly know it. His manners are impressive, but that's not to say he won't let you know when he thinks he deserves a treat. He loves his walks and he's tough to leave - when I'm getting ready to go, he'll bring me his ball and beg to play. Those puppy dog eyes are hard to resist and we usually end up having a few minutes of playtime before I'm out the door.


Buddy

Favorite Food: Butter

Favorite Toy: Furry ducks (until I take the squeaker out of them)

Pet Peeve: Being alone

Obsession: Toothpaste

Favorite Pastimes: Sleeping and swimming

Most Noble Deed: I once touched noses with a horse - he was huge!

Naughtiest Deed: I snitched a whole stick of butter off the table. Man, I love butter!

Known Accomplices: Boo Boo



Kylie (aka Boo Boo)

Favorite Food: I love ALL food! Usually, I don't even chew it.

Favorite Toy: Frisbee

Pet Peeve: Being cooped up. I like to run!

Obsession: Fetch

Favorite Pastimes: Rides, Frisbee and going to the dog park

Most Noble Deed: I keep a good watch on the rabbits in the neighborhood.

Naughtiest Deed: It's so hard to pick just one! I seem to get in the most trouble when I try to protect my owners from strange dogs.

Known Accomplices: Buddy

Walker Comment: For Buddy and Boo Boo, walks are not about exercise, they're about meeting new people and getting loved by passersby. They are two of the most happy and excitable doodles you will ever meet. Upon arriving at their apartment, Buddy and Boo Boo require at least five minutes of cuddle time. On walks, Buddy loves to make snow angels and is very curious about his surroundings. Boo Boo, on the other hand, loves to jump around in the snow and let everyone know if there is a car or a dog nearby. They are always a pleasure to walk!
