My name is Charcoal and I am a 3 year old female 13 pound cross between a poodle and a Schnauzer aka Schnoodle. One of my many assets is that I'm hyperallegenic and that's why I landed with Joanne and Fred Klein. We coexist and get along well and that's why I agreed to submit to the following interview with Fred.

Q. What is your favorite activity?

A. Eating, especially sharing an early morning banana with you.

Q. What is your greatest dislike?

A. Water, especially rain and I will never go into a swimming pool.  Baths I endure out of necessity.

Q. Who is your favorite person?

A. Joanne (my Mommy) who feeds me and who I sleep with.

Q. Other than eating what is your favorite activity?

A. Going for a long walk with lots of sniffing.

Q. Are you house broken?

A. Of course, how insulting?

Q. How do you communicate your need to go out?

A. I just give the look and wag my tail.

Q. What's all that tail wagging about?

A. It is a great way to efficiently convey my needs and emotions.  Too bad you no longer have a tail.

Q. What are your favorite foods?

A. Carrots and Treats.

Q. What are your other favorite activities?

A. Gnawing on my chew toys and pulling and shaking others.

These softball questions are putting me to sleep and I think we have to cut this short, that's all for now as I feel like curling up for a nap.
