How'd you pick your human?

Mars here with a shout out to all my Dobie friends and a question: How'd you pick your human from all the humans out there? I had help finding mine.

I was raised as a puppy, the best puppy ever they say, by a really cool and nice lady named Nikki. Now Nikki took the time to train me, taught me all those cool things like sit, lay, shake, rollover, hog the bed, counter surfing, fetch and my favorite, swimfetch. If you don't swimfetch I highly recommend it. Nikki was great, except that microchip thing she shot me with, that hurt. But she got my ears all perfect, the most awesome snub of a tail and I rewarded her with Mars Kisses and Gas. Lots of gas.

Then one day I woke from a nap and found she had a new puppy, a Pharoah puppy. If you've seen Jurassic Park you know the Pharoahs, they play the part of those annoying things climbing the fences. Ugh, I love puppies and I've even helped raise a few, but I didn't know they'd turn into those things. Pretty soon 1 turned into 3 and I couldn't do anything anymore. They'd steal my balls, eat my food and took over my human bed. The final straw was when they tried to steal my laser light. Nobody touches my laser light, if I can't catch it nobody else is gonna try.

Well Nikki was showing the criminal dinosaur dogs and she didn't like the talk I had with them. A couple days later, my new step mommy Kelly got a call. Kelly is really nice, she rescues Greyhounds and shows those Seluki things. I don't know if those are dogs, but the greyhounds are fun to run with. But they're mean to cats. I like cats, they're fun to play cops and robbers with. Greyhounds go to far. Kelly told Nikki she'd love to take me but a Dobermann with all her greyhounds might not be a good idea, but she knows someone that would love to hang out with me, no other dogs (but 2 cats) and wants a buddy to play fetch. Turns out cats don't like to swimfetch.

Well Kelly sent my picture to John, that's my human, John was scared at first. He'd never had a Dobermann and only had seen them in movies and on that weird show with the guy that's got the pornstache (I'm not supposed to say pornstache am I?) and the wedgie car. But John agreed to meet me. I could tell John was a little scared at first, so I grabbed my ball and dropped it at his feet. We spent an hour playing fetch, then I taught him how to swimfetch. I was on my best behavior because it was a huge backyard and the house has stairs. I never had stairs before, but the cats showed me how they work. Nikki brought some treats, smoked sardines with us and I showed John how sweet and gentle I am. I didn't even fart the whole weekend while John and I hung out.

Well, that's how I picked my human. I started out with an awesome life that got disrupted with those weird things and ended up with an even better life. It's been 2 1/2 yrs, I still visit Nikki off and on, she's great and I love to visit but am happy when I get to come home. I've got my own doggy door, big backyard and I don't have to share my toys or the pool with the cats.

I've taken it easy on John, he's kinda old. We play laser fetch in the mornings before he goes to work and fetch/swimfetch after work. I also take him on walks, it's important that old people get their exercise. Sunday afternoons we go visit Kelly and I play with the Greyhounds and try to teach them the importance of playing with cats but not hurting them, they're slow learners at that.

Well, I gotta go guys, gotta get ready for a Kelly visit. Love to hear how you picked your humans.
