Toby, Such A Brave Girl

"Welcome to my living room, my couch, my pad!"

Introduction: Hi, I'm Toby, a seven-year-old "mixed blessing" as the owner of FloridaPets.net likes to call us dogs with a bit of this and a bit of that. I live with my human companion, Jessika Dudek, in Orlando, Florida.

My likes and dislikes: I enjoy going to the park, chasing squirrels and just generally being the center of attention. I like fruit and apples are my favorite. I must have been an electrician in a previous life because, when I was just a puppy, my hobby was licking the electric sockets until I felt a jolt. Mommy says I'd sit up, look around a minute, confused, then lay back down and lick the sockets again. Then I started chewing any electrical wires lying around and that's when mommy had to start baby proofing the entire house.
For the record, I did grow out of those bad habits! The only think I don't like are cats, well, and mean dogs, because they always beat me up. I mean, I'm a pretty lover-girl, not a fighter!

"This is me, wearing my cool rain coat, having some fun outside before
one of the hurricanes we had this past year."

Quote From My Mom: "Toby and I met on the side of the road when she was just a couple months old. We've been there for each other ever since and she was so brave during Hurricane Jeanne this past fall.

"One thing I wish she would learn is how to swim. I believed all dogs could swim and one day on a dock I pushed her in. Good thing the water was only a few feet deep because she sunk right to the bottom! Since then I have given her lessons but she will splash at the surface, then just go under the water, so she just sits and watches me swim now, which is fine!"
