At 10 I am a little old and I don’t do many tricks now, however, when I was younger I used to jump on the sofa and run across the back of it! I loved my daddy’s socks and would hide them in my bed! I use to play a game with my mom in the backyard and I still do it now. She would call us in, and Sugar, the sweetie that she was would always go running to mom. I would come up several steps like I was coming in the house and then turn an quickly dart back down the steps and run around the yard. Mom would pretend to lock the door to leave me out…but she would finally come down and pick me up and carry me into the house. She would say that I was not going to get a treat…but I always got one!

I would have to say that my favorite foods are, turkey bacon, scrambled eggs with cheese and of course, treats. It is so funny, my mom and dad will not say the word treat in front of us…they would spell it out to each other thinking that Sugar and me did not know what they were spelling. We have our own special cabinet that has all of our food and treats in it. When we saw mom go to the cabinet we knew that we were either going to eat or get a treat!

My favorite toy is a ball…not just any ball…the one’s with the squeakers in them! This just drives my mom and dad crazy! I just got a new ball and it does not squeak! Even though I am 10 years old and considered a senior…I have a lot of playfulness left in me! I love to go outside and chase squirrels. I actually chased a chicken once. The people who live 3 doors over from us were raising chickens, and one of them got loose and got into our yard. My mom has not yet figured that out since our yard is fenced in. Anyway, she opened the door for me and Sugar to go out. As usual I ran ahead of Sugar and spotted the chicken I did not know what a chicken was…had never seen one! Anyway, I gave chase and we ran in circles. I was having a lot of fun until my mom picked me up and called the neighbors! I have not seen the chicken anymore!

My favorite snack in the whole world is the jerky stick! I also like bacon strips and cookies shaped like the mailman! Sometimes I hide my snacks in my bed and save them for later…but please don’t tell my mom!

Ruff Ruff Happy New Years Everybody! This is Domino and I am back..again! It's been a while since I have been on. I still miss my sister, Sugar. Since I was last on I have just been enjoying my spoiled life! Mom says that we will be looking for new home soon, and I will probably be able to get a new mate from the shelter...I am so excited! Give me a bark and let me know how you have been doing!

My mom wrote a very nice story about "Overcoming the heartbreak of loosing your dog. You can read it at:

My mom wrote this in 2008, after we lost Sugar:

Hi! this is Domino and some of you guys may remember me. My mom had changed the profile to just mine, but then decided to go back to the original profile and leave my sister, Sugar on it. My mom has decided to update our page and make a few changes. My sister, Sugar passed on October 2nd and mom, dad and I have been sad. We are feeling a little better and mom says that we will keep Sugar on the profile page and also put her on as a sub-profile. So if you get a chance read Sugar’s profile. Mom is feeling better, she says that she received so many nice comments from you guys that it has helped her lot. She wants to thank all of you for your kind words.

I must admit that I had been acting out a bid since I lost my sister. I slept with mom and dad for 2 nights and then mom put me in my own bed. I now have 2 beds one downstairs and one upstairs right next to my mom! For some reason three days ago I stopped eating. Mom was giving me my favorite foods and treats and I would not eat. She even gave me table food which I don’t get too much of…and I still would not eat! I have a human brother…he’s an older guy, and he came by today and was eating some Wendy’s french fries. Mom told him that I was not eating. He asked mom if I could have a fry, she said just one, but he gave me more! He put one in my bowl and I started eating my food and mom was so excited! She did tell me that she is not going to feed me on a diet of french fries!

As I said earlier…I have been acting out. I have been chewing on my leg and mom noticed a sore today, so she is taking me to the vet’s tomorrow. Even though I am 10 years old, I still like to play with toys. My mom has a really neat stuffed doggie that my daddy gave her a years ago. She keeps him on her dresser. Mom decided to put him in the bed with me to see if it would comfort me. I grabbed him and shook and dragged him from room to room and I am having a fun time with him. Mom did not realize that I was going to treat him that way and looked to be a little upset and what I was doing. She decided that if this helps me get out some of my energy than I can have him. When dad saw that I had the stuffed animal he tried to sneak the doggie out and give me a ball to play with, but I wasn’t having it! After a tug-of-war with dad, mom told him to let me have him!

Mom says that later, when the time is right that she will probably go to the animal shelter and get me a new friend. She says that as long as she is able to care for an animal in her life that she will always give one a home. Although she still morns the death of Sugar she now understands that she can not let that stop her from taking care of “Gods Little Angels”. I am always opened for new friends…so don’t stop requesting! I will bark at you later!
