Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Paddington the bear! He’s everything you never knew you always wanted in a dog. This beautiful blue, 90+lb , cross-eyed, bulldozer baby with a slight underbite, is looking for his forever home.
Paddy is a lover to an almost painful degree. If you’re looking for a snuggler he’s your guy. Paddy doesn’t simply lay beside you, he tries to lay into you, rolls across you and flops on top of you while simultaneously crushing your sternum and rib cage. (who needs to breathe anyway?!) He has no understanding whatsoever of person space. If you like your personal time alone in the bathroom, welp, you can also kiss that goodbye too. Paddy will sit on your feet, perhaps lay across them, and guard you area no matter what you’re doing in the bathroom. Don’t try to fight it.
If you’re looking to play a good game of tug, highly inadvisable unless you have a good sense of humor and don’t mind bruises. He will shake a tug rope while biffing himself in the head repeatedly and anyone else near him. (Shin guards?) He also enjoys letting go of the rope just when you put your back into it. Yet we continue to play with him. (Who’s really the smarter one here?) He also loves to get the zoomies, and parkour off you while doing so. (Breathing really is overrated!)
Paddy is not recommended for small children. Not because he doesn’t like them but because he’s a bulldozer and will most likely knock them down, and plow into them which will make you a frequent flier in the er. (Then CPS gets called and it becomes a thing…)
If you like quiet, well that’s not gonna happen. Paddy snores like a truck, with a bad muffler. (Uh oh, better get Maco!” Paddy is slightly cross-eyed, he doesn’t see so great, so he bumps into things on a regular basis. It doesn’t faze him, he’s got a bowling ball for a head. He knocks into food dishes, water bowls, people, and the occasional wall. Except the wall is more because he’s not paying attention. When Paddy stares lovingly into your eyes, he most likely sees 2 of you, but he loves you both so no need to get jealous! His nose can’t sniff out a single thing like scattered treats either, so there goes that idea for enrichment.
Paddy enjoys playing in baby pools, water, (bring extra towels for yourself) and walking in the woods, he rides great in the car. He likes pup cups too but he scared the bejusus out of the lady at Starbucks so we go to Dunkin now. He also loves bubble baths, well loves to lick the soap off his body while you scrub. And loves to work on his savage tan while lying in the sun. He has no shame, so don’t be embarrassed. (It ain’t easy being this beautiful).
He’s got a spatula for a tongue so when he gives kisses, he takes out half your face in a slightly violent manner. (Built in exfoliation! Women pay big bucks for that!)
He’s comical, clumsy, spacially unaware, and he lives and loves with everything he’s got. And I mean EVERYTHING!
This dog is everything you never knew you always wanted.
Please consider coming to meet this ridiculous, and wonderful boy, he could be the best decision you never knew you needed to make!
