About Alibi
ALIBI
Samoyed
Male (D)
12 Months Old
Located : Chipping Norton, NSW
Should the cops come calling I can quite honestly say that I would be the most airtight and believable Alibi you will ever come across. For under oath I can and do solemnly swear that I. Saw. Nothing.
Having been born blind I can't miss what I never had and I prove this to you with my confidence and tenacity, as I soldier on through this thing called life with the cheesiest grin on my face. Oh, and a reliance upon my heightened sense of hearing and smell.
Aside from these special considerations I am your typical rascal of a puppy. Getting me to sit still is like telling a kid who's been let loose in a candy store to watch their sugar intake. Kinda redundant.
Outside the home you'll find me diligently applying myself to attaining my degree in landscaping, with a focus on excavation. Inside the home I like to climb into bathtubs, then sit there barking my sammy little head off until one of my many disciples takes pity on me and helps me out. Actually, you may wish to keep your bathroom door permanently shut for I've been known to stick my head underneath the sounds of tinkle and it's not unusual to find me at the end of the toilet roll I've mapped throughout the house.
BUT WAIT! I can redeem myself - I am otherwise non-destructive within the home and toilet trained to boot. Should I be in need of some time out or it's time for lights out, upon your command I merrily make my way to my crate a.k.a my safe zone.
Under all this goofiness and joy de vivre is a serious case of The Smarts. Having learned basic "blind dog" commands to keep me safe, I track both existing and new environments like a boss so never fear to take me outside what you feel is my comfort zone.
My canine foster siblings quite literally worship the ground I walk on, even that grumpy little ankle biter who doesn't really "do" other dogs is in love. I'll let you in on a secret - the feeling is mutual. Unfortunately my bombastic and initial OTT ways don't always find favour with others, and I do think my seemingly unblinking eyes may freak them out some. Never fear I win them over so it goes without saying (and is non-negotiable) that there must be at least one other friendly and playful dog within my new home.
Have I mentioned yet that I'm cat friendly? I mean it's just a weird smelling dog, right? Albeit one who likes to hang off my tail, play clawsies with my snout and entice me into games of hide and seek that it always seems to win.
At this point it's apropos to talk about the most important part of the equation - my humans. I will likely bond with one person within the home foremost, however I am an equal opportunity lover of all who wish to lavish their attention upon my floofy self. Like most blind dogs I use my mouth to communicate my wants and needs so it's best that any human offspring be of teenage + years. I would hate myself forever if I inadvertently hurt tender and thin wee-skin with my speech!
Although I would love it if you were home with me 24/7, you won't find me suffering from any separation anxiety when you need to leave me behind. FOMO when you're around however... hell to the yes so you'll need to find that an endearing trait.
Welcome me into your world and allow me to prove that I may be missing my sight, but I'm not missing out on life.
