Weird Facts About My Pet - I've Been Tagged

This is Honeybear at 3 months old, when I got him.

Eph2810 has tagged me to list five weird facts about my pet. List 5 weird things about yourself or your pets. Tag 5 friends and list them. Then, those people need to write on their blogs about 5 weird things, and state the rules, and tag 5 more people. Don’t forget to let the people you tag know by posting a comment on their blog!

* Honeybear was shipped to me from Montreal Canada. When I was done with all my studies, I was still on my own and still interested in finding a dog for myself. My parents said people they knew just had a litter, and was fully convinced this one was exactly what I was looking for. I had to name him before I could see him so he could get his papers to board the plane. My mom wouldn’t let me name him Tiger, so based on his description I named him Honeybear.

* Honeybear gets mistaken for being a girl. I used to keep his tail and ears long when he’d get his shavedown. His last groomer disregarded my request and shortened the ears because she thought he should look like a boy. Okay, I’ll try something new. As I drove him home and stopped for an errand, a woman parked next to me saw him and exclaimed, “Hi GIRL! You’re a sweety, aren’t you!”

* Honeybear is bilingual. All his commands are spoken to him in Armenian, which is my ethnic nationality, and knows only a couple phrases in English. When I got him at 3 months, it turns out my parents only spoke to him in Armenian, and it took me a few days to figure out why he wasn’t responding to any of my English. I thought all dogs were born understanding English – silly me!

* Honeybear has 7 offspring (um, with his sister which my parents left behind for a few months that one time during an unfortunate season of heat), 6 boys and 1 girl. My sister took 2 of the boys (which my parents dog sit most of the time), and my parents kept the girl. We gave away the rest. All beautiful dogs. Since that episode he got fixed.

* Honeybear LOVES cheese. Even if my husband sneaks cheese for himself and hides it as he walks into the living room with it, Honeybear will sense or smell it immediately and follow him and sit in front of him, staring intently to have a share.

* Honeybear's dad is part poodle and part lhasa apso, and mom a huskey. How’s that for a mix.
This is Honeybear today, now 7 years old.

Let’s tag: I’ve barely started getting into these, so I will try to tag a few of you who have already stopped by and commented, and have been much appreciated blogfriends, among the many. I tag the flip flop mamma!, barb, ballpoint wren, laurel wreath, and presentstorm. If you haven't been tagged and would like to take on this challenge feel free to take it on and leave me a note.
