I adopted a dog from petfinder.com. We (my husband and I) named him Treif, which means non-kosher in Yiddish. He is a funny dog. He is much older than they told me he was, probably around 10 years old. I don't know his history, where he came from, etc. I just know that he is a grumpy dog, but can be really sweet too. I am very much amused by him.
My two cats get along ok with him. Cricket, though, is probably pretty mad that he is in "her" house. She is probably just realizing that he is never going to leave. LadyBug doesn't seem to mind him at all. I see them sometimes bumping noses, and there is no fighting between them.
Treif doesn't seem to know how to play. We give him toys but he just looks at them and does nothing. He does love to eat table scraps. I always give him some of my dinner (and Cricket too). He also loves to sleep. I guess that is natural for a dog as old as him. I don't know why I picked him; there were other cute dogs on that website too, but there was something about him. I think maybe because he reminded me of Snoopy from the Peanuts cartoon.
