Meet Zorro

Hello! I'm Zorro! Did you know there were some contests thrown here at Desert Haven over the last few weeks? Well, there were and I entered every single one of them. Did I think I had the chance to win every contest? Yes, actually, I did!

You see, I don't mean to brag, but I have a pretty good self esteem and a fair amount of confidence in my house skills, so I threw my name in the hat for every category. Why not?! I know my value in a family unit. I know I check off many boxes that families are looking for in a Great Dog. So, I figured, let's go for the gusto! Here is the list of contests the Desert Haven volunteers held and who was named TOP DOG in each.

Best Siesta Taker (ME! I can nap through a parade! I love naps! Naps are life.)

Most Awesome Play Skills (Sara won this category! She's so fun and happy all the time! The only thing I could best Sara at in the play skills category is that I can catch toys in mid air when you toss one up for me!)

Watch Dog Extraordinaire (ME! I am usually the first to alert everyone to a visitor. I like to bark a quick "How do you do! I'm fine, how about you?")

Miss Manners Approves of This Dog (ME! I wouldn't dream of chewing something I'm not supposed to and have never torn any of my bedding, and I can hold my pee as long as needed to keep my living spaces fresh and neat!)

The Iron Stomach Award Goes To (Just slightly edged out by Tita here! She is the least picky dog ever and she never gets sick and her poop is always perfectly formed!)

Gives You a Run for Your Money (Thor was crowned King of this category in a unanimous vote! He's one of those great dogs that has a giant personality!)

The One You Can Leave Free To Roam the House All Day (I tied for first place with Smokey Blue! We are both known to be trustworthy dogs in the house when our families go out for the day!)

Miss Congeniality (Pixie won! She could sell sand in the desert with her smile and she is a ridiculously happy wiggle butt when she meets people!)

Cat in A Dog's Body (Patty loves cats so she won this paws down even though none of us really understood this category!)

Most Enjoyable Dog (ME! I'm just so easy. I can be a couch potato, am up for a hike, am a Total Best Friend, like to snuggle and give kisses, ride great in the car, love going out-n-about, and am just an all around Good Boy!)

Most Improved in Every Category (Roxie took this one down by a landslide! She has gone from feral to Family in just four months time, amazing! Everyone is proud of this girl!)

Smart as a Whip (Yes, I am highly intelligent but I choose naps over crossword puzzles any day of the week. I do learn quickly what I'm taught. For instance, I sit on a dime and am a champ at the Agility Course. But alas, Tita and Smokey Blue tied for first in this category! Congrats to the Smarty Pantses!)

Spectacularly Handsomest Dog (ME! Just kidding, they didn't have this category I just made this one up ha ha ha! But I do think I'm quite fetching, some might say I'm "a tall drink of water". Often people are drawn to my eyes which are a gorgeous shiny-golden color that simply pops off my amber-colored fur. At any rate, I guess we'll never know who's the best looking doggo of Desert Haven so let's just assume it's ME!))

There you have it, folks: the TOP DOGS of Desert Haven! If you count my tie, which we should, I won handily in FIVE categories. Pretty impressive don't you think! And all I had to do was just be me, good ole Zorro.

In all seriousness, the one contest that truly matters is the one in which I win your heart. I am going to make a great dog for a great family! I am so excited for the day I meet the ones that feel like they won at life because they adopted me. Love you so much, Zorro
