About Me

Hi! I'm Shiloh the dog. I'm a Collie/Finnish Spitz mix. In other words.... a mutt!
When I was about 10 months old I got into a bit of trouble and did some time behind bars at a pen called the Metro Dog Pound. Hey, it wasn't my fault...I swear! I was just running with the wrong human crowd. Bad influences, dontcha know.
My adoptive mom bailed me out and straightened my hairy little butt out real fast. Talk about strict parents! Geez, you haven't seen strict until you've spent a few days with my mom. Doggie manners? What's that?!
Mom made me get an education. I got my basic education at CKC and received my diploma when I was a year old. I went on to a higher education and earned my AKC Canine Good Citizen. I guess mother does know best; a good education can open many doors.
A few years ago I became a certified therapy dog. What is a therapy dog, you might ask? Therapy dogs visit nursing homes, hospitals, schools, libraries, and anywhere else where someone might need a hug from a soft furry creature. One of our favorite places to visit is a children's grief camp, where we bring a little cheer to children who have lost loved ones.
My hobbies are mole hunting and goat herding. Mole hunting is also my job. It's nice to have a job that's also a hobby, lol!
So... that's me in a nutshell. Oh, wait...Mom says I should also tell you that I'm the light of her life (blush). Yeah, moms tend to get a little sappy, don't they?

My Interests

Mole Hunting
Goat Herding

I'd like to meet:

A cute lady sheepdog to go herding with!
Neil Diamond. A couple of years ago I went with mom on a road trip to some of Neil's shows. But... she left me in the hotel so I never actually got to see the man myself. So close and yet so far! I guess trying to smuggle a big 75lb dog into a concert was a bit out of the question, LOL!

Music:

As if I have a choice...duh! Whatever my mom listens to is what I'm stuck with. Right now that's mostly Neil Diamond and that's ok with me. Didja know Neil has a song with my name in it? Totally cool!

Movies:

Snow Dogs

Books:

Chicken Soup For The Dog Lover's Soul

A Wet Tail Tale

I don't like getting a bath. I don't like to get my tail wet. Ok... so yeah... I'll jump into a dirty pond while chasing ducks, but I only go so deep to where my tail doesn't get wet. There's a differ...

Being Adopted

When Mom was looking for another dog to adopt, I wasn't quite what she was looking for. She wanted an older, calm female dog. I was a young, energetic male. When she met me at the dog pound, the handl...
