| Zippy |
Hi, My name is Zippy. I know it is an awful name for
such a sweet and mellow English Setter like myself but
it is the name that I know and come to so I think I’ll
keep it. I'm 3 years old, and already altered.
I spent a good part of my life in a Boarding Kennel
where the nice lady tried to spend as much time as
she could with me but there were a lot of other dogs
there that needed attention as well. Nonetheless this
limited attention only made me sweeter and hunger
for human attention more. I love to be close to my
foster dad and don’t care much for it when he is out
of my sight. Don’t get me wrong I don’t do bad
things I just whine so he knows that I miss him and
want him to come back as quickly as possible.
When I first got here I had a really bad skin infection.
The Vet says I am all cleared up now and I don’t have
to take medicine any more. Since then my coat has
been getting thicker and I have some pretty little
brown spots coming out, which is different since I am
almost pure white. I have also been told I have the
sweetest eyes that could melt any ones heart.
My foster Dad said I am very interested in his Kitty. I
haven’t done anything to hurt her mind you but she
is just so interesting and pretty that I can’t help
looking at her all the time. Sometimes she’ll play with
me and I will snuffle her tummy and I think she really
does like me because she hisses. My foster Dad says
that’s a bad thing but I think she is really just blowing
me kisses.
I have a friend here named Belle who is a 4-year-old
English Setter. We eat well together although she will
sometimes nibble out of my bowl, which I don’t mind
except she eats fast so sometimes I get seconds. We
play tag in the back yard a lot. She is faster then I am.
I think it is because I am a little bowlegged and kind
of hope like a bunny. I think it just makes me all the
cuter.
I have been around a few other dogs when I first got
here. Playing down at the groomers, the vets and at
Petco. All the other dogs seemed to like me as much
as I liked them. I also was allowed to hang out with
people, which is my real love. I have met so many
different types. There are even these little people that
are known as children. They seemed to love touching
my soft head and I enjoyed having all those hands on
me. I am pretty easy going for a young boy so I didn’
t even knock them down. I am a little afraid of males
so I need some time to learn to trust them but if you
are anything like my foster Dad I will be putting my
big soft head on your leg in no time asking for a head
scratch.
I haven’t really gotten the hang of furniture yet so I
pretty much just lay on the floor or my very own dog
bed. When I am left alone I get to spend the day in
my cave or crate as my foster Dad calls it. It’s pretty
cool and I don’t mid going in there but I love when he
comes home and I get to run around the house or
outside with my friend Belle.
I have been very good in the house and ask to be let
outside when I need to go. My perfect forever home
would be someone I could spend a lot of time with
playing and just being a good boy. I love to be
around people and I am just looking for someone
who will love me as much as I love them.
