02/15/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: What a character our Chip Skylark is!! His legs are a little “off” and sometimes when he sits he looks like he’s trying to give himself a double chin, but he is so, so cute! He seems housebroken, knows “sit’ and “paw” (and wasted no time showing both off in the lobby when he was brought in!) and is highly treat-motivated. He gets chatty when he wants something and seems frustrated that I’m still on the learning curve for his lingo, but is forgiving and wiggly. Tossing him a toy is like watching the couple’s first dance at a wedding — really, a love story. He’ll roll on his back, bat at it with his paws, sneak up on it, and squeeze into narrow spaces to be reunited with it. Though he needs no assistance keeping himself entertained, he’ll easily let me take it from his mouth. When he’s in play mode he sometimes mistakes the leash for a toy, but is working on learning they’re just for walking! He’s very friendly and waggy and will lick my hands and make soft eye contact when I pet him. In his cage he assumes quirky laying positions, like folding his front legs under his body or curling them out like he’s got his arm around an invisible lady friend…he somehow always manages to be so debonair! I look forward to learning what other fantastic charms Chip has up his sleeve, but really I hope someone else beats me to it — a guy like this can only be fully appreciated in a home! He’d love to meet you at Brooklyn ACC!
