Billy

Tell me a little bit about yourself.
My name is Billy, I’m 10 next month and I was adopted nearly 4 years ago. I now live in Sussex.

How many humans/siblings do you have and long have you had them?
I have two humans, Emma and Damien. No siblings. My humans have tried to adopt a sibling so I would have company but I’m happiest being the only dog in the house.

Do you work? If so where/what do you do?
I used to be a racer but I was very happy to be retired.

If you could choose your name what would it be?
I’m pretty happy with Billy.

What is your favourite food?
Chicken – I often get to share a roast chicken with my dad. Next best is tripe….delicious. I’m quite partial to pigs ears, cheese and ice cream too.

Where is your favourite place to be?
Anywhere with my humans but my favourite two places would be on the sofa or the backseat of the car. The sofa’s for snoozing but in the car I like to stand up and watch the world go by.

What is your favourite way to entertain yourself (annoy your humans)?
I love digging holes. I am always getting told off for this and I still haven’t been able to figure out why. A hole is a lovely addition to any garden.

What is your greatest accomplishment?
Getting rehomed and going from racer to pet has been pretty great. That and managing to get hold of my mum’s birthday cake last year. I managed to eat nearly3/4 before she noticed.

What is your next goal in life?
To dig a new hole in the garden and to figure out how to break the lock on the kitchen bin.

If you could be/do anything for a day, what would it be?
I would love to go to work with dad. The saddest part of my day is when he leaves the house and the best part of my day is when he returns. So I’d love to go with him to work and spend all day with him.

Finally and most importantly...What was your human’s most embarrassing moment?
At Christmas mum fell over in the park, in front of other dogs and humans. Very embarrassing. I had to try and pretend that she wasn’t with me.
