I'm Tipper....my mom got sick, and couldn't take care of me anymore. So, I came to live with my foster mom, and APB is gonna find me a home. Forever and ever this time, please?

Now, let's get one thing straight. My foster mom thinks I'm a dog. Someone needs to clear this up - I am not one of those DOGS...I'm a DIVA! When we sit outside, I need to sit in a chair - DOGS lay on the ground. And when those DOGS start playing too rough or too loud, I tell 'em to straighten up! That's what divas DO!

Needless to say, I don't play with those other creatures. I do loooove toys, tho. And all the toys belong to ME, right? So if you're gonna have a DOG there with me, they need to understand that the toys are mine. I'd be perfectly happy to be an only diva, tho. I like to sit with you, or hold down the couch on my own if I need to.

'cause mom was sick for quite awhile, she didn't get me outside as often as I needed to go. So, I kinda got in the habit of pottying inside. My foster mom says even Divas need housebreaking 101, and I'm doing really well...unless it's storming. I'm scared of storms!!!

I walk really well on a leash...so I'd probably do OK without a fenced yard. I'm pretty quiet - there are three times that I bark. When it's time for my dinner - divas do NOT like to wait, when I want you to throw the toy for me, or when those DOGS are playing too loud and rough. So, I might be OK as an apartment dog, too. No one knows how I am with cats, or with small children.
