Mark and Emiko came over from the Coast and fell in love with Obie.  Obie now has his Happy Home

Obie is a mixture of basset and corgi. And maybe there's something else in there, too! He's got a great personality. He's inquisitive, fun, and likes to play. During the summer, he loves swimming (although he won't jump in the lake- he'll only wade in!). Obie also likes playing with the hose when I'm watering my flowers. He chases the water all over, and loves getting sprayed! Obie gets along well with other dogs, and has never had problems with people. He likes to eat, and will get into things if you're not careful. But he does really like being inside and curling up on a blanket.

When Obie is outside, he normally needs to be on a runner or watched very carefully. Although he's short, he can jump pretty high, and will jump the fence the minute you turn your back. Also, if he lives in a busy neighborhood, he likes to let you know if people are walking by. He doesn't growl- just barks. Besides the barking, and occasional hole digging when he's frustrated, Obie does mind well. When he gets out of the yard, he'll come back most of the time if you call him. If there's food involved, he'll be back in a flash!

Obie knows the basic commands- sit, no, down, lay down, shake, go to bed, go outside, etc. He's healthy (never had a health problem), and is current on his rabies vaccination. Obie is neutured as well. He also is great on car rides, and loves going for walks (although "heel" is a command he hasn't yet mastered).

If you think there's any important information I'm missing, please let me know. I'd really like to find a GOOD home for Obie, with people who have the time to pay more attention to him. He's really a smart dog, and I can tell he's frustrated that I can't pay more attention to him.
