My
husband and I had been wanting a dog for five years, and since we'd just
bought our first home (and didn't have a landlord to answer to anymore),
we went straight to the Humane Society to find us a pooch. We took one
look at this fuzzy, floppy-eared face and knew we had to have her. She
must've liked us too, because after cooly ignoring another family, we
knelt down at her kennel, and she came right to us. Sixteen months later,
we're still amazed every day at how much we love this little girl.
Bamboo is quite a personality. She's very smart, but she's also
incredibly independent (and a little stubborn sometimes). But she sits
before every meal and won't start eating till we say "Okay." She gives
handshakes and high-fives and will spontaneously roll over if she thinks
we've got an especially good treat.
Like all dogs, Bamboo does a lot of really cute, endearing things, but
one of the cutest is this: When playing tug-of-war, Bamboo often lays
down flat on the hardwood floor (with the rope still in her mouth). This
is her way of asking for a glide across the floor. She loves to be
pulled by her rope! And when she's being pulled along in figure eights
around the room, with her front paws by her tucked belly, she looks just
like a little seal. Simply adorable.
Bamboo's favorite thing is probably her trips to the dog park, where she
can run and play to her heart's content. She loves every dog and person
she meets! These are just a few of the reasons we love our little
Bamboo! We hope you'll like her too.
