Sir Swipes-A-Lot, a black Portuguese Water Dog, with a stolen flower

Sir Swipes-A-Lot

Portuguese Water Dog · Age 3 · Thief & Stage-5 Clinger

I earned this name. Turn your back for one second and I’ll grab whatever you left behind, then prance right in front of you so you definitely see it. The chase is the whole point.

Known swipes: socks (his signature), a milk carton, a Christmas card, and one entire PB&J. I regret nothing.

Roo, a cream rescue Goldendoodle with crimped ears

Roo

Rescue Goldendoodle · Age 1 · 100% Bounce

Mom and Dad were looking for a buddy for Sir and found me through a local poodle rescue. My mom was a very pregnant Goldendoodle who had been sharing a backyard with a Goldendoodle and a Chihuahua. The rescue ran genetic tests on the whole litter. Goldendoodles, every one of us. The Chihuahua was cleared.

Yes, I look like a golden retriever: long snout, “alligator mouth,” crimpy ears, and a little curl behind them. My vet tested me too, and I’m 70% poodle. 🐩 Hmm. I’m also 100% sweet.

Toys, gear, and treats personally tested by us. Very thoroughly. Some of them survived.
