Kane County Animal Control Pet of the Week - Fluffy

​

“The dog lives for the day, the hour, even the moment." – Robert Falcon Scott, Explorer, led two expeditions to regions of the Antarctic

He's named Fluffy for a reason.

It's rather obvious because he is so fluffy. His soft fawn coat with shades of amber and a tinge of cream makes him stand out like cotton candy.

Beware when you pet him! His blondish hair will go everywhere, flying into the dog-o-sphere, including on you, but it's well worth it to get that hug from this oh-so-sweet fluff-ball!

He's partially mixed with some other breed of dog and Siberian Husky. But you don't need a DNA test to know that this brown and buff 1-year-old neutered young man has a personality that won't quit.

He gets really excited when he knows he's going for a walk, so he might jump and pull a little. Good leash training is definitely in order so he can learn to walk by the side of his new family members without pulling them down the street.

He loves to chase tennis balls, but playing catch isn't really his passion. Toss the ball onto the pavement so it bounces and he will leap after it, almost as high as the sky, but not quite.

The only thing is, he won't bring the ball back. If you want a good workout, then it's Fluffy who will catch the ball and it's up to you to bring it back. Who needs to renew their gym membership with Fluffy, the Super Fly in the family! Throw and fetch, fetch and throw!

Squeaky toys are music to his ears. He likes to hear them squeak, but he's not overly possessive of them. When they stop squeaking and squawking, he will turn to something else to keep his attention, maybe playing tag with his new canine brother or sister!

How about some grooming or brushing topped off by a nice bath because it feels so good!  Better yet, forget the brush and just pet him several times a day followed by a bunch of sloppy kisses for being such a good boy!
