What's your favourite memory of your pet?
One of my favourite memories of Goob is when he was a little pup he was afraid of the door stopper coils and would paw at them so they’d move and he’d bark and play with them. Super cute and silly.
What's your favourite thing about your pet?
When he’s just chilling, relaxing or hanging out he’ll randomly get up and go grab his giant stuffed golden that he’s had since he was a baby. It cracks me up how he’ll just think out of the blue to go grab it from wherever it is in the house and bring it back to cuddle with.
What is the naughtiest thing your pet has done?
When he was younger Marv used to be a little neighbourhood item collector and snatch various items and bring them to the back yard; shoes/boots, a crazy carpet, yard decorations, etc. I’d have to rally him and figure out where he’d found his loot and return it lol. Fear not neighbours, his klepto days are in the past.
What is your pet's favourite thing to do?
The guy LOVES snow. He’s definitely in his element out there - zoomies and pouncing around like the happiest goofball around. It’s fun to snowshoe up by telemark or the Nordic track with him and he runs for hours with the biggest smile.
What is your pet's personality like?
Marvin is a quirky goofball who doesn’t realize he’s not a lap dog. He’s playful and happy, always up for an adventure and has some unique traits for sure. If you’re dancing in the kitchen, he wants to be part of it and the guy loves a trip to Canadian Tire.
