Sasha: So you're the cutie that moved across the hall.  Where did your parents adopt you from?
Hoover: Biscuits and Bath, which is at 102 Franklin Street. I think they gave me the best parents!  
S: Where do you hangout?
H: Oh, Biscuits and Bath is a daycare, too!  I’m totally spoiled.  I go there every day!   I’ve got at least 30 friends. It’s AWESOME!
S: Are you house trained?
H: Pretty much.  Dad hung up this bell by the door and rings it when he knows I gotta go. So now, when I gotta go, I stand by the door. I overheard him tell Mom that he hopes that by doing that, I would learn how to ring it myself.  They don’t know this yet, but I already know how.  I ring that bad boy all day when they’re away [laughs].
S: [laughs] Isn’t it fun to mess with them?   Who’s stricter, Mom or Dad?
H: Dad! I always know I’m in trouble when I hear him [in a deep loud voice], “HOOVER!”  Mom tries, but I always sweeten her up by cuddling with her on the couch. 
S: What’s your favorite part of the day?
H: The morning.  I miss them when I’m in the crate at night, so when Dad opens it up, I give a long stretch and bury my head between his legs, and he pets him me all over.  It’s awesome!
S: Do you have a favorite toy?
H: Oh yeah!  I got a stuffed dog that I love.  Is that weird? I love it when Mom and Dad say, “Get your toy!”.   I go nuts. It used to be all about my rubber duckies, but I grew out of that real fast. 
S: What do you eat for your meals?
H: Iams Kibble. I had diarrhea for a long time, but now with Kibbles, it’s gotten better.  
S: What about treats?
H: Kong with peanut butter in it. LOVE that.  I tried spinach last night and I actually liked it!
S: None for me, thanks. What’s your favorite spot to get scratched?
H: Ooh, right on my neck, right where the leash is - oh, and my belly!
S: Well, now that we’re neighbors, we should hang out more. I’ll ask my Dad if you can come over more.
H: Totally!
