Hi! My name is Walter. I'm a handsome little Boston Terrier with tons of spunk and a heart of gold. I'm a proud native Oregonian. I live with my momma in inner NE Portland but we love to travel to the coast and forest. I've been coming to No Bonz for over 2 years and I love it. Every morning my mom gets me out of bed by asking me if I'm ready to go to school, otherwise I'd probably stay snuggled up in the blankets all day and get real lonely while she's at work. I love coming to No Bonz and I've met some of my best friends here. I come home tired and happy every day!
July, August, September: Cash
Single, female black lab seeking snacks, pool parties…and friends.
My name is Cash. I am a 3 ½ year old black lab with two moms.
I enjoy long baths…
I can even create my very own Jacuzzi with my two front paws. I will admit the moms get a bit wet, but who could resist the very curious ways they have found to use a shower curtain as a shield?
I like to play soccer…
Not quite like the beautiful game, but more a game of keep away where I am the only one that has the rules. And, I am the only lab on my block that can use my front paws better than Pele ever used his feet.
My internal clock runs on food…
I guarantee you will never miss breakfast, lunch or dinner. Forget your favorite alarm, app or other device. You want to know time for a meal… I am the one you want to call. And, I guarantee not only will you know what time it is…but that whomever is responsible for serving your meal delivers it on time. I am relentless.
My version of stress management is a good hedgehog…
Like everyone I have my limits. And when I get a bit stressed, I find there is nothing like a good hedgehog. I keep them stashed in every room of the house. Me and my hedgie…there should be a song written about us.
And in case this isn’t enough to keep you intrigued…
- I am one of the world’s best cuddlers.
- I help my mom get ready every morning for work. We brush our teeth together and we share makeup brushes….those brushes are SO soft on a gal’s face.
- I have a SECRET FORT. Yep, top secret… NO ONE can see or find me or my toys in there...it's like magic! ?
June: Monza
I’m so honored and happy to be selected June Dog of the Month that my nubbin’ can’t stop wagging. June is extra special since I’ll celebrate my twelfth birthday this month! Like most older gentleman, I’ve developed a bit of a routine. As soon as I walk through the door at NoBonz, I’m greeted by the nicest girls you could ever hope to meet; getting a nice welcome pat on my noggin’. I then proceed straight to the green platform where it gets a three-legged christen. I’m always rewarded with a “MONZA! BLAH BLAH!” Pretty sure that means Monza, Good Boy. After greeting all my buddies, I like to take a nap to make sure I have energy for the POOL PARTY. Aren’t they the best!? Whether I get to bite at the hose water or chase the plastic egg around the pool, it always makes me feel happy. I’ve made many friends in the ten plus years I’ve been coming to NoBonz with Barney and Juneau being my two favorite four-legged besties. I’ve even had a few girlfriends over the years. I fondly remember my favorite girl, Willis. Despite my tough-guy exterior, she was always so sweet to me. Perfectly content to hold paws or just lay with me on the red futon. Since I’m getting older and I don’t get around as well as I did when I had puppy breath, my time at NoBonz is coming to a close. Until then, I intend to make the most of my Fridays at “School”. I will always cherish the friendships I’ve had at the best doggie daycare in the world and will miss all of you when I’m no longer able to come play.MONZA (aka – Monzarottie)
May: Henry
Henry came into our life in the spring of 2011, a fit and lively dog. A second chance rescue from the Oregon Humane Society, Henry was originally picked up in the Klamath Falls area, having survived outdoors on his own for an unknown time. I like to imagine Henry as having traveled the world in that time; developing his refined tastes for swimming in rivers and accepting chin-scratches, and discovering his favorite game - chewing his rope whilst laying on his back, getting belly rubs. Regardless of his adventures, Henry was a welcome addition to our family: energetic in the field and a love sponge at home, happy to join me and Katie for a night of knitting or a weekend of camping, wiggling all the while.
