About

Meet Eddie (GA)

I'm Eddie and you need to adopt me cuz I'm one heck of a dog! I'm 18 lbs., about 12 years old, and still like to play. I love stuffed toys--especially carrying them around the house, de-stuffing them, and using them (or the occasionally swiped shoe) to entice you into a game of keep-away. Betcha can't catch me! I like all dogs except big, scary-looking ones. I even have a cat friend across the street, but most kitties and little critters are more fun to chase! At home, I would prefer having you to myself. That way, I can get plenty of the things I love. I won't have to share your attention, and I can eat by myself the way I like. I'll have more space to myself on the couch and your bed (yes, YOUR bed) to sleep undisturbed cuz I might growl if suddenly awakened. You'll also have more time to spend massaging me when I need a bath.    I'm OK riding in the car but don't like to be crated for long. I'll potty outside using a dog door except when it's raining, so I'll expect a different arrangement for those days. When I'm out, I like people, including kids; I'll bark out a hello and then hope for some pets. However, unfamiliar events at home can make me feel nervous, and I'll get an urge to lift my leg on something to establish my territory. I'm healthy except for a couple of issues. I have a disc problem in my back, but with medicine (about $30/month), I'm OK. I also have skin allergies (mostly dust mites) and take daily medicine. Since starting twice-weekly allergy shots, I've reduced my need for the medication by 25 percent, reducing its cost by $25/month. Are you ready for Eddie? I know I'm ready for you!
