Meet Otto the Pug (AKA Otto Von Poopmeister and Sir Otto the Obedient)

Otto was born on December 20th, 1996. He moved to the South end on March 1st, 1997. Otto's hobbies include finding new and exciting places on the kitchen floor to poop (or pee) and chasing his unwilling playmate Ernie around the floor. His strict, balanced diet currently consists of dirt, furballs, rusty nails, the occasional piece of broken glass and any form of paper product for roughage.

He is majoring in plastic surgery. His concentration is in nose and finger reduction. Otto is very talented in the area of experimental sound. He is working on his first symphony: an expressive and exciting aria of screeching, whining, barking and whimpering against a rhythmic forest of grunts, snorts, sighs and farts.

Otto has quickly learned how to play fetch with the four spoked green latex squeaky monster. He has also learned how to get anything he wants from his mama and papa by melting their hearts with his puppy-dog eyes. When he gets tired, Otto sticks out his tongue and lets out a squeaky little yawn, and then curls up with his people and snoozes.

UPDATE 7/28/97:

Otto has grown a great deal since he came to live with Limey and Kerry. He now weighs about 17 pounds (but still insists on being carried when he gets tired of walking). He knows lots of words, like Go Out, Go for a Walk, and (the big thrill) Go for a Ride. He knows Sit, Stay, and Down (when he wants to). He can get his bone, his toy, or his dinosaur when you ask him to. Otto's first (and still favorite) word is Cookie.
