Goomba, the Dog of the Day
Name: Goomba
Age: Twelve years old
Gender: Male Breed: Australian shepherd mix
Home: Texas, USA
 
   This is Goomba. He is a loveable Australian shepherd mix with stumpy little legs and a curly tail. Goomba loves people. Whenever someone new comes into the backyard, especially children, he gets an excited look in his eyes and can't wait to show them around.

    Goomba is also very loyal. He will follow you around the backyard, stop when you stop, and try to lend a hand whenever possible. He especially likes to help me empty the pool's leaf baskets.

    I call Goomba a "social chewer." He normally won't chew on sticks, but if someone is in the backyard and doing something that doesn't involve giving him attention, he will lie down and chew a stick to pass the time.

    His favorite thing in the world is to go on walks. All I have to do is ask, "do you want to go for a walk?" With that, he is spinning around and running towards the gate all while looking back at me every few seconds just to make sure I'm serious and that I'm coming too.

    Goomba is also very caring. When I was screaming bloody murder after a wasp had stung the bottom of my foot, Goomba became very concerned and stared into my eyes with a "how can I help you, girl?" look on his face. It was very sweet.
