My Dog: Milo: 9-year-old Male
Some Clues : I got Milo as a tiny, eight week old puppy. He weighed about eight pounds then, but grew to 65 pounds. He’s got a blue-merle short-haired coat with a dense undercoat, so he doesn’t get cold easily but hates the heat. He looks like just an Australian cattle dog that’s been scaled up an extra 20 pounds. He doesn’t act much like a cattle dog, though – he doesn’t much like exercise and hates running. He’ll walk and hike, as he loves being outside, but he’ll go as slowly as we’ll let him and will sometimes stop altogether and lie down. He’s been an old man since the day he was born, and much prefers sleeping and cuddling to physical activity. He loves food and gets fat if we don’t restrict his intake. He is absolutely fascinated by small animals, and has spent entire days watching a hamster in a cage or hours trying to get to a mole in a hole (see picture!)
