Colin - Houston Italian Greyhound Dog

Whuzsup? Colins the name, being sillys the game! Im what you would call a goofball. I am a happy guy, love to play and have a fun-loving personality. The secure yard is one of my favorite places to be, as long as you are home to supervise me. Other dogs are fun too! Have even met a catit ignored me, so back atcha! They seem somewhat aloof, not wanting to playoh well, their loss.Kids are not a problem for me, as long as they are respectful to me and my body parts! No tugging or roughhousing allowed. I can dish it, but not take it. I really love to play, not necessarily with manufactured toys; I make a toy out of a pine cone or stickor another dog. My foster siblings are not always in the mood to play, but I can usually get them to give in! Im about 6 years old and not a tiny Iggy, but not big either. I weigh in at 11 pounds and am 15 inches at the shoulder. I run a little thin, since my idle is set high. I have filled out some in my foster home, but have skinny legs (remember, respect the body parts). Also got a goofy tooth, as my foster mom calls it. It kinda sticks out sometimes, makes me look like Im bearing my tooth. ~Who bears ONE tooth, right?!~ I like my teeththey are a good tool for me in play. Sometimes I forget my tooth is out, until someone might point it out, call me mouthy. I never hurt anyone, I just forget to tuck in my teeth, get cranked up and graze my teeth on you.. Goofy. Thats megoofy personality, goofy teeth.I am totally non-aggressive, and not alpha in the pack here in my foster home. Some of my other foster homes found me to be protective of the lady of the house. I am a smoocher, and if you let me, I will claim what I want, and typically it is the lovely lady in the home. Im so dang cute too, works in my favor at first, but then I become over-confidentI feel like I have to protect herto claim her as mine. Its one of those things that is completely okay in the dog world, but gets all mixed-up and crazy when I try and apply it to the human world. I am crate-trained and as potty trained as an IG getswhich means I am always being watched, or have on a belly band while inside.Apparently, I am not to be treated as anything other than what I am: D-O-G. Not bad or less-than, just always kept within my boundaries. If you give me any leeway, I will see it, monopolize on it, and before long will have manipulated you into a situation that nobody is happy with. So, if you are able to handle a goofy boy that requires a tightly-run ship, Im your guy. Come and meet me and you will understand what I am talking aboutIve often been misunderstoodhopefully you will get mein more ways than one!
