Moodyblues Time Keeps On Slippin

I'm from the Moodyblues' "Fly Like an Eagle Litter" born December 1, 2023 (my puppy name was Magpie )

My mom is Zuppa (Moodyblues Cool Wind in My Hair SC DCAT) and

my dad is Zeppola (Ch Almawhip Albinoni vs Star Wars for Moodyblues)

My nicknames are Walty, Walt, Tito (don’t ask me why! 😂)

Me as a wee pup

I live with my mom Rebecca Ivins (pictured here with her daughter)

and my “brother ” Greg!  We live in Midlothian Virginia.

Here’s me and Gary (who we lost to cancer in June and were/are heartbroken)

Here are some of my all-time favorite things to do: Chasing a frisbee, ball - ANY ball, snacks and sleeping 

I currently eat (Purina Pro Plan mixed with Acana) but my owners favorite thing to eat is Indian food - (which I ALSO love) and drink is coffee in the mornings! 

My favorite treat: freeze dried beef liver, but I also love carrots, green beans, chicken and eggs, celery, and peanut butter!  I also love a wide variety of fruit - blueberries, banana, and little bites of watermelon 

My favorite toy is my frisbee! (I get it honest from my parents, they are both frisbee stars!)

I get my outfits from: What outfits?? Every time I try to wear clothes I turn into wrestle mania and they end up getting messed up because clothing makes me itchy! I prefer quick potty when it’s cold and then a really warm blanket! 

The worst thing I ever chewed up You wont believe this, but NOTHING. I’m SUCH a good boy and I HATE to get in trouble  I’ve been obedient from the start and don’t even like when our new puppy Greg gets in trouble.  It makes me feel terrible.  

When I grow up I want to : chase my frisbee or my ball for 20 minutes and then I want to snooze for hours on the couch.

Here’s something interesting about me: I am very friendly but also sensitive and shy at first.  My mom says I’m a little like a possum - sometimes I’m gregarious but usually I’m cautious and sorta shy.  Once I warm up to you (especially if you have a ball) I’ll be your friend for life.  I also just FINALLY stopped getting car sick
