Comet


Comet is our current foster rattie. We've had him two months and are totally smitten by this little guy. He has a happy personality that spreads to those around him. Each morning he arises so happy, like the day will be the best one ever and he's eager to get started on it. He first greets us humans, cause we're the first ones he sees when he comes out from under the blanket (he sleeps in bed with us). Then he jumps down and greets the other dogs with wiggling body, tail wags, and kisses. Then it's outside to go potty. When the door opens for the dogs to come back inside, Comet usually leads the way, running full steam ahead and hopping with glee. Going outside is the best thing ever. Coming back inside is the best thing ever. Humans are the best things ever. Dogs are the best things ever. This is Comet's attitude toward life...that everything is wonderful and he wants to soak up every moment since it's the best one yet.


Comet was picked up off the streets by Animal Control. How anyone could not look for this great little dog is something I do not understand. It's obvious that he had a home, as he seems quite accustomed to living in a house with people ...he loves being around people and other dogs, and he's housetrained.

Even though he's a little guy (only 10 pounds), he's a brave boy. Nothing much phases or scares him. The first time we put him in a bicycle basket, he wasn't afraid and did not try to jump out. If I stomp my feet and run towards him, he runs straight to me and jumps up wanting to play. He'll eagerly play with whoever will play, be it dogs or people.
