Mr. Peabody in Belleville, IL
Mr Peabody is my name and I’m looking for my Sherman.
I’m a curious, beautiful and smart 2 year old male Blenheim Cavalier. I love to explore and then curl up in my foster mom’s lap for kisses and affection. She calls me a velcro dog. I even miss her when she just goes to take a shower! I am neutered, crate trained and mostly house trained. Occasionally I use my foster sister’s potty pad, but I can be trained away from that. I sit on command and am food motivated (which makes training easier). I’m learning to walk on a leash and I am catching on to “wait” and “go” at intersections
I weigh in at 24 lbs and am free of a heart murmur. I’m up to date on my shots, and take a heart pill every month as well as flea/tick prevention. My left eye gets irritated in the spring, but it is easily treated with eye drops which will come with me to my new home.
At 2 years of age, I still have some puppy in me. Zoomies tend to happen nightly but I wear down and go to sleep in my crate shortly thereafter. They say that zoomies are a sign of a happy, secure dog and it’s fun to watch how my humans react to my zoomies.
My favorite activities include watching horses and dogs on tv and looking out the windows. I enjoy playing tug with my foster siblings. Being brushed is great and I like to play ball in the house. I’m great with dogs my own size, and I have not met any cats just yet. I love being outside. Squirrels and birds intrigue me. I need a fenced yard, at least 6’ high. I have jumped over the lower ones and sometimes dig under the fence. Someone needs to be outside with me at all times so I don’t get distracted by a new scent and try to follow it.
I have some resource guarding issues with my foster siblings, so I need to eat separately from any other dogs in the house. I would do well with an active family, or other dogs in the house. I can be an only dog but would need to be kept busy.
