(Ottawa Dog of the Week for March 14th, 2011)

Ottawa Dog of the Week - Milo the Chihuahua Mix

“Milo -The Man, The Legend

World, Meet Milo, a 9 year old Chihuahua type creature. Although many people have guessed at his origins, he is best described as a dog/seal/pig hybrid. Exactly where he came from, no one will ever really know. He has overcome many obstacles in his short yet eventful life including morbid obesity (due to hypo-thyroid disease/extreme food binging), pancreatitis and victim of incestuous head humping. Despite his many challenges, he remains a saucy little guy who walks with his head held high, his tail tightly curled and his bark sharper than a million little nails drilling into your head.

Favourite pastimes: leg lifting, napping, rolling in poop/ garbage/dead things, lying in the sun (preferably on a hammock).

Strangest pastimes: chirping, stealing toothbrushes of unsuspecting houseguests, sticking his entire head into houseguest’s shoes.

Favourite snacks: baby carrots, blueberries, anything he can get his little paws on.

Phobias: nail cutting, stretching joggers, running children…and anyone he doesn’t know.

Favourite people: Belle (his sista from another motha), Dan (ex flat-mate/pro dogsitter), human mom.

Aspirations: to be a weight loss coach and inspiration to fat dogs everywhere, to take over an entire queen-size bed, being Dog of the Week on Ottawa Dog Blog (check!)

Role model: Napoleon

Best known for: having the softest fur ever, having once eaten an entire burrito he stole from the garbage. ” – Milo’s Mom, Genevieve.
