Pet of the Month.

Griffey May 2024

How did you come to live with your current family? 
I was born in Lake Stevens and moved to Bellingham with my new family when I was 10 weeks old.

What Silly or Little known facts should we know about you?
I have funny eating habits. I require to be hand fed breakfast or I won’t eat. I also believe that portion control is important, so I will only eat 1-3 kibble at a time. If I am offered more than 4 kibble, I turn my head in disgust.

Besides Day Care… what do you love?
I am a workaholic. Me and my dad work from home, and my job is to make sure my dad stays on task. At 8am sharp I run to the office and don’t leave until 5pm. Even if I need to go to the bathroom, I hold it until the workday is over.

What are your favorite toys or games?
I made up a game called the “No no no!” game. My dad pretends there is something important that I’m not supposed to have in the backyard, like wood chips or grass clippings. When I grab them, my dad starts chasing me yelling “No no no!” and it is so much fun!

For enrichment, what do you prefer? food, scent, movement? something else?

I just like 1:1 attention and snuggles.

If you had a major in college…what would it be? 

I’d be a Business major, with a concentration in Human Resources.

If you wrote a personal ad… what would it say?

Hates long walks on the beach…or any walks for that matter.
My perfect day revolves around daycare. I go to daycare and what do I see in the lobby — kittens! Instead of going to the back with my friends, I get to stay in the lobby and play with the kittens and work the front desk. If I do have to go back, I get to be with the Littles, who let me into their secret club. At the end of the day, my dad picks me up and my mom is waiting in the car to greet me with an ice cream cone.

We know your real name is, but what are some of your nicknames?
Grif Griffendorf Girfle GGrifman Geebs

What was your favorite trip you’ve taken?

I took a roadtrip to Wisconsin every other summer to see my extended family. Big trucks on the highway scare me, so my dad gets me McDonald’s ice cream to keep me happy.


Do you have a best dog friend? At Tails or outside of Tails?

My best friend is my sister from my litter that also got adopted to a family in Bellingham. Her name is Daisy, but I call her Crazy Daisy because she is crazy. She’s the exact opposite of me, but we love each other.

Are you a morning dog or a night owl?

I’m a morning dog. I get up bright and early to go to work with my dad.

Peanut butter or whipped cream?

Both!

Ball or stick?
Ball, specifically a tennis ball.

What’s the stinkiest thing you have ever rolled in?
I am a very clean boy who would do no such thing.

Where is your favorite place to sleep? (and no, you won’t get in trouble if you say your Hoomon’s Bed)

It’s a tie between the bed with my mom and my dad, or the couch with my mom and my dad.
