About You
Your best feature inside or out?: My mom says its my “old soul”.  I can tell when people are down and need to cuddle with me, or if they want to play.  I just always somehow know what to do and how to help.
What would you change if you could?: I have allergies to wheat, so I wish I could get rid of those and eat a whole loaf of bread.
One word starting with "S" to describe you: Sweet
Favorite part of day?: Cuddle time with mom in the morning.

Least Favorite human?: The landscaping guys at our neighbors’ house…they just seem sketchy to me.
Favorite treat?:  Apples, peanut butter, and cheddar cheese
Favorite place to spend time?: In any sunny spot on the carpet
Favorite Lucky Fiona collar and why?: The one in my attached picture…mom can’t remember the name but she says it makes me look VERY sophisticated.

What Dog is Looking for in Perfect Match
Male? Female? Open?: female
Are you looking for a casual or serious relationship? Explain: Serious. I am a dog that likes commitments, and isn’t really open to a lot of change in my life.
If you could date a human celebrity that turned into a canine who would it be?: This is a hard question.  I would have to say Julia Roberts.  That long hair, smile and laugh might translate into good qualities in a dog.  Plus she’s got lot of famous friends to introduce me to.
Explain what makes your heart go pitter pat in another dog?:  Dogs that like to chill out, and that aren’t too rough of a player.  I love girls with long hair, who love the outdoors and bird watching.
What attributes in a doggie partner are a deal breaker?: Someone who picks on me all the time, or someone who tries to take my bones.
Dream dog date?:  Playing fetch with my basket full of tennis balls, even better if mom and dad will hit us some balls to chase on a tennis court.  Then we’d go hang out at the dog park, so that I can show you off to all my friends, and then finish the night curled up watching a movie and chewing on some peanut butter stuffed Kongs.

One word starting with ‘S’ to describe you: I say superfuckinduper but my mom says sweet-n-sour

Favorite part of day: Naptime or dinnertime

Favorite Lucky Fiona collar and why: The Franglais. I love the pattern and I look great in red and blue—it is bold, pretty, and badass…just like me.

What Dog is Looking for in Perfect Match

Male? Female? Open?: Open as long as they don’t get on my damn nerves.

Are you looking for a casual or serious relationship? Explain: I will want to see how things progress; I am open to serious or casual.

If you could date a human celebrity that turned into a canine who would it be?: Female-Sara Bareilles, Male-Avett Brothers (I consider the whole group as one person) but only if their voices don’t change in the transformation.

Explain what makes your heart go pitter pat in another dog?: I want a smart dog that has social skills. They need to be able to run, wrestle and play with me but also recognize when I need alone time. I will not tolerate any bed hogs or cover thieves. Also, even though he gets on my nerves, they have to be nice to my brother. I am the only one who gets to mess with him. I also prefer hosscats (the only little dog that I tolerate is my brother) and to quote one of my mom’s favorite songs, ‘I like 'em big,  I like 'em chunky,  I like 'em big,  I like 'em plumpy,  I like 'em round,  With something, something.’

Dream dog date?: The date would have to start in the afternoon because I like sleeping in. We would go for a run in the backyard, enjoy some antlers, take a walk then nap. I need to make sure they don’t hog the bed or the covers early on; if they do, there will not be a second date.

Rescue? Kinda What organization: What's rescue? Um, isn't everybody born and spoken for immediately? Like people were lining up for my litter. 

About You
Your best feature inside or out?: Too many to list but I am constantly told my head is perfect and my chest is super-duper and my topline is nice and my spots are so pretty and I'm like the total package.  I also let any human pet me and adore me because I am totally about sharing my perfection with the world. I am like a planetarium in that way. Wait. What? Oh, sorry my DogMom says the word is humanitarian. Whatev.
What would you change if you could?: My Dogparents say I am not the sharpest tool in the shed, but like I totally don't get it because I for sure broke into the shed this summer and there were like no tools in there. So like explain that? 
One word starting with "S" to describe you: Gorgeousness. Wait, can the word end in "S"? Also I like the word "Pig Ear" because they are super yummy.  I also like the word "Glimmer" because ribbons at dog shows are all glimmerish. 
Favorite part of day?: Saturday
Favorite human?: Whatever person is judging the show ring
Least Favorite human?: Like that guy named Vet who looks all weird in the white coat who sticks that thing up my bum without even like asking first. I mean what is that all about? 
Favorite treat?: I totally already said Pig Ears, why are you like asking things two times? I'm all like deja boo and stuff. 
Favorite place to spend time?: Getting groomed at the groom shop because I get to hang out with my brothers and let them chase me. They are too slow and fat to catch me so I'm all like "losers, later" and then I smell really good when I leave. Like apples and heaven. 
Favorite Lucky Fiona collar and why?: I like the ones that totally go around your neck and people are all like "WOW, you look amazing." and I'm all like "Yeah, I know, right?" 

What Dog is Looking for in Perfect Match
Male? Female? Open?: Male
Are you looking for a casual or serious relationship? Explain: I'm too young to be tied down, like who wants to be with just one Sugar Daddy when there can be several buying you nice things? I mean do the math. 1+1 = 3 and I would totally like having 3 boyfriends instead of 1, I mean it's really simple if you think deeply about it for a few seconds like I like to do over really, really important things.  It's like tiring to think real hard but you have to. 

If you could date a human celebrity that turned into a canine who would it be?: Kanye
Explain what makes your heart go pitter pat in another dog?: Ok, first off did you just say I am fiddle fat? I'm like so skinny and I don't even play a musical instrument, I mean that is just like total mean girl to say anything about my weight. I'm a superdogmodel and I like stand on the platform thing and people take my picture because I am perfect. 
What attributes in a doggie partner are a deal breaker?: Um, I would totally not like a guy who can't see how overwhelmingly beautiful I am. Like open your ears and see how stunning I am standing right in front of you? I mean I want a partner who like understands I'm pretty much the best he will ever get. So don't be all cheap like "Oh, I made you a Valentine out of biscuits as a sign of my love" because that's totally not going to cut it. I want Tiffanys and Louis Vuitton and somebody who can explain to me the great mysteries of life. Like what happened to all the tools in the shed and why does it even matter if they are sharp because some tools are not even for cutting things? Duh.
Dream dog date?: First we would eat some incredible filet mignon on fine bone china (oh, and have bones too, lots of bones) on a big yacht in the middle of a beautiful blue ocean. Thirdly we would talk about me and how pretty my eyes are and how if you look at me for a long time you just find more things that are really gorgeous. Then we would make a long list of all the things I want and we would drive the boat to the store and you would buy them for me. Then I would be all like "Yeah for me!" and you would all be like "Wow, you're so pretty!"

Dream dog date?:  Mom and Dad would start us off at home with some delicious steaks off the grill, then we’d go hiking in the woods and bark at everything that moves.  We’d finish up with some doggy ice cream, and hiding out in the backyard to hunt squirrels and possums.

I'm forced to live among horses and a bevy of barn cats who insist on stealing my thunder when I do something cute.
