when i have some down time designing for at-choo i volunteer at one of los angeles pounds. while i watched all of the other doxies get adopted or rescued, this 10 year old with a snaggle tooth never did. so when his time was up and he was at risk, i sprung bail on him and brought him to my home.
his name is ollie-pie (ollie ollie oxen free!). he is a little 9 lb whipper-snapper. i had not even held him until when i picked him up to take him home so i had no idea as to what his personality would be like. now i know - he's a gem! he's typical doxie, stubborn, eating is cause for celebration, loves his walks, inquisitive, likes to burrow and loves to be cuddled. oh - and loves to give kisses.
he's been to the vet and checked out aok - although the vet wanted to adopt him herself if it weren't for the 3 dog law here in los angeles which she has met already.
ollie-pie loves all dogs, finds cats curious, is happy to play 2nd fiddle (thankfully, since quizzie plays 1st fiddle and won't have it any other way) and due to his many lacking teeth always has his tongue out a wee bit. character times 100!
last night he had a seizure and since quizzie also has them, once i realized he wasn't dying i figured out what was going on. i don't know if that was his first or if he has them often - time will tell.
so i'm posting him here just incase you or someone you might know is looking for someone to love and be loved tremendously in return. he's so little and so easy to carry around. because of my traveling and that quizzie won't be nice too much longer to ollie-pie i'm only fostering him and am looking for a home for the squirt. i'm only the first step in his travels to the perfect home.
oh - in the video ollie-pie is the little brown doxie. the black one is quizzie and zazu is the white dog. quizzie weighs 14 lbs just to give you a reference for ollie's size.
