Interview With Miss Remy

I have decided to interview each of my dogs by asking them each the same five questions.
I know I am the crazy dog lady (ahem, the Dog Dame), but I'm not crazy, I swear.  Read on to learn about the mutts that inspire me to blog!

1. For the record, please provide your full name:
Remy.  Unless mom is irritated with me, then I'm Remington. Unless I'm being stubborn (because I'm a basset) and ignoring mom and she's irritated with me, then I'm Remington Ophelia, but you can call me Remy.

2. Tell me about when you joined the family.  How long has it been?
I barely remember it because it was forever ago! I remember I used to live in a place where I stayed in the kennel almost all the time, though they did take me outside to potty and we played a bit.  Those people called me Rapunzel. Anyway, my people came to the shelter and brought with them another dog that was just a little bigger and about a year older than me.  I hadn't even had my first birthday yet but was a pretty big girl at nine months old.  The other dog was Benelli, and at first we just sniffed each other, but then we started playing and my people gave me a new collar and took me home. Benelli became my sister, and for a year she was my best friend.  A day short of one year of living with my family, Benelli got really sick and died from IMHA. I was so sad after she died and missed her so much that I didn't want to play anymore, even though I wasn't two years old yet. It took a long time before I wanted to play again.  Then, my family brought home my new brother, Otis, and then another brother, Bits.  They are both older than I am but since I was here first since April 2014 AND I'm the biggest, I'm the boss.

3.  What is your favorite toy?
I LOVE anything that squeaks! My favorite toy to chomp on is a live squirrel, but mom thinks that's gross.  I have a couple of Kong balls that squeak and I love to chase those and chomp on them.  I also love elk antlers and cow femurs- they are so great for chewing!

4. What is your least favorite thing to do?
I'm not a fan of getting a bath, or getting my ears cleaned, but I REALLY hate getting my nails clipped.  One time, they were clipped too short at the vet's office, which really hurt and I bled a bit.  I'm like an elephant, I never forget...and I make it hard for mom to clip my nails.

5. What's your favorite treat?
While I love the dental treats, I actually really love the 3 ingredient cookies mom makes.  My favorite treat though might be either the puppy ice cream she makes or peanut butter in  a kong.  I do LOVE peanut butter!
