Hey I am Rocket, I fly like one, too! Would you like to know a little bit about me?

I'm Energetic* My favorite thing to do is be cuddled day and night, night and day. After that, my next favorite thing to do is work. Walks, yes, please! But if you have an actual job for me such as keeping watch on your farm, your large yard, or simply want to teach me oodles of awesome tricks, I'm your boy! Did I mention I love cuddles? I am very intelligent and intuitive. 

I Like to be the top dog* What I am looking for in an owner: a sidekick, a ride or die friend for life, someone who will make me their number one dog, loyalty, gentleness, and understanding. I've tried living in a home with my litter mate(s). Look, other dogs are great - I won't hurt them -but I prefer being the only dog in your life. I like to butt out the competition to make room for myself, you see. And I'm very good at it, to boot. Cats are fine. Chasing them is fun but I promise I won't eat them. 

I can be vocal- No Shared Walls* Do you like to talk? Me, too!! I bark mostly when I go outside. You know, just doing you a favor by clearing the way vocally. But when I said I like to talk, I literally meant "talk". I make all kinds of words with all kinds of intonations which are not barks at all. Did I mention I'm smart? Sometimes I want my toy back and I'm asking you to get it for me, please. Sometimes, I would like your undivided attention. Sometimes, I'm hungry. And sometimes I talk back. (Shhh, don't tell my foster mom that I caught on to the fact that she adores that about me.)  

I'm still learning* Sitting down when people enter the house rather than jumping on them to say hello, not barking so long when I go outside, and not pulling on the leash when I go for walks. I am still a puppy so I am making excellent progress, if you ask me! 

What I know* I come when called, I sit, stay, and I used to heel on a leash but my foster mom let that one go (sarcastic fist-bump goes here), I understand the command "off" (see above). 

I'm pretty special* My fur is curly! Yep, I'm an American Eskimo with curly fur! That makes me even more rare! Though my fur looks as though it might be wiry - it is not. All of my fluff is as soft as a baby's new microfiber blanket!
