Ollie

Hey! Hey! Hey!  I'm Ollie and I'm a darling little cocker spaniel boy.  I know I'm darling because my foster mom tells me so at least a dozen times a day.  I've been living with her for a couple of weeks now, and since she's a retired teacher, she decided I needed my first report card.  It's pretty good, too.  

 

A+ in personality! A+ for my charm and good looks.  A+ in tail wagging.  I wag my little nub all day long.  A+ in house manners, I'm totally house trained.  I even let her sleep until she wakes up to let me out.  A+ athlete, I'm good at tag and fetch!  A+ for my intelligence.  I sit, shake, and stay.  I am almost a straight A student!  She said if I wasn't so jealous of the kitties, she would love it if I could live with her forever.

 

My foster says she never gives report cards without mentioning areas for improvement.  One of the areas for improvement is also one of my most enduring qualities.  I don't like to be alone.  I bark whenever she leaves, but she still gives me roam free in the house.  I'm not destructive.  I carry her flip flops around but I don't chew them.  I don't even get into the trash!  She is also working with me on being friendlier to strangers.  I sometimes growl, but in just 2 weeks I have improved remarkably.  All in all, I am what you'd call a great catch!  Did I mention that I get along with other dogs?  I even enjoy watching them on television.  

 

So, since I am such a happy fellow, I am in search of a happy home.  I would love a fenced-in yard, but I want no part of a crate!  I mainly just want to be with my people.  Can I sleep in your bed with you at night?  I love doing that!  As I mentioned,  I am an adorable velcro cocker.

Don't wait too long.  If I learn to get along with the kitties, my foster mom won't let me go.  She's crazy about me!
