Critter Details

Meet Oreo: The Resident Teenager If Oreo were a human, sheâ&#194&#128&#194&#153d be wearing oversized headphones, eye-rolling at your music choices, and ‘forgetting’ to take out the trash all while looking effortlessly iconic. At eight years old and a solid 15 lbs, this Chihuahua/Terrier mix has officially reached her rebellious teen phase, and she is leaning into it with every ounce of her being. Oreo is a social butterfly with an attitude. She treats her daily walks like a red-carpet event and insists on announcing her presence to every squirrel, leaf, and neighbor with a series of networking barks. Oreo is a master of selective listening, but with those ears, we know she can hear everything. Call her name to go outside when she’s not ready? Sheâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s suddenly stone-deaf. But whisper the word ‘treat’ from three rooms away? Her hearing is better than a satellite dish. Oreo is incredibly affectionate, and will let you give her tummy rubs for days. Some important lifestyle points about Oreo: The Snuggle Dictator: Oreo doesn’t just ‘sleep on the bed.’ She conducts a hostile takeover of the duvet. She is a professional burrower who insists on sleeping under the cover and she knows how to stick a foot or nose out if she gets hot. The Foodie: She has never met a treat she didn’t deserve. Her negotiation skills for an extra biscuit are world-class and that crumb you drop on the floor doesn’t stand a chance. The Fashion: With her classic black-and-white coat, sheâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s always dressed for a formal event, even when sheâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s being a total brat about being told ‘no.’ In short: Oreo is a 15-pound powerhouse of sass, snuggles, and spicy opinions. Sheâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s the boss of the house; youâ&#194&#128&#194&#153re just the one who pays the rent and provides the premium snacks.
