My full name is Mocha Almond Fudge and I was born in a little town called Twisp in Eastern Washington. I was the eldest out of my litter. As a puppy I liked to tear apart anything I could sink my teeth into. My other favorite hobbies as a puppy were to run, play, and bark.

As the years went on, I resorted to the comfort of my couch at home to sleep all day. My parents soon discovered that even though I looked to be sleeping, I always had one hear straining for the sound of a wrapper crinkling or the refrigerator door opening.

My kids love me because they don’t ever have any kitchen chores because I am always ready and waiting to clean underneath the dinner table. I love to pick up after them and to clean their plates.

One of my most frustrating obstacles is trying to get to know the cats of the house. I do not understand why they don’t want to play with me. Yet I persist in trying to make friends. I have had some close calls on several run-ins. My nose has been nearly taken off!
