Chewy, the Dog of the Day
Name: Chewy
Age: Two years old
Gender: Male Breed: Brussels Griffon
Home: Temple, Texas, USA
 
   Chewy Dupree Easter lives in Central Texas. He is two years old, now, as he was born 1-21-2007. He is a male Brussels Griffon. Chewy is Such a Super Sweet boy! He loves to snuggle! He also likes to be held like a baby. I can't imagine not having him in our home. He doesn't do quite as many tricks as his brother Chubbs, but he knows if he looks cute he will get a treat anyway! He loves to play in the back yard and run, but he also loves to Hang out on the couch and watch TV. He loves our daughter (she is eleven years old) and they have such fun playing together.

    I could talk all day about that little guy! He is my precious baby and again he is typical Griffon, he loves to Zoom in the backyard and play just as much as he likes to be a couch potato (and is a velcro dog to me - he's a Mommy's boy). And for Non-Griff owners who don't know what zooming is... it is common with Griffons, they tuck their little rear-ends in and run (usually with their head down) like a little manic dog, typically running non-stop in circles! It is great and so funny to watch! As far as tricks, he can sit on command and lie down on command (this is usually motivated by treats). He does love to play fetch and loves to play tug-of-war with toys with his other Griffon brother Chubbs and he does his fair share of rough-housing with Chubbs, letting him know he is the "'older brother."

    When running and playing in the back yard he also loves to just bask in the sun, if it is very shady outside he will find the one little patch of sun to lie in the grass in and just lounge! He does have a bit of "selective hearing" but all in all is a fabulous little guy! He is spunky and it for sure the "Pack leader" and ruler of the house, we pretty much work around Chewy's moods! He loves to sit and look out the front window and just check people and animals out, and is not a big fan of squirrels at all, he doesn't tolerate squirrels in the yard, though the birds are fine!

    Chewy is a Barker and will bark non-stop at strangers until given the opportunity to give them a good, close-up sniff and get the okay from his mom, then it turns into non-stop licking! You have to love doggy kisses to tolerate Chewy and fortunately for him, his family loves them! I seriously can't let you know enough how much we love our boys and how wonderful this breed is. The facial expressions they give are wonderful and you know what your Griffon is thinking always just by the look on his/her face! We are so lucky to be blessed with our little guys!
