Meet Mason: Westchase Pet of the Week

Patch:  How did Mason get his name?

Rie Crowley: He was already named when we adopted him from Border Collie Rescue in Texas.  My son found him online.  We liked his name, so we kept it.

Patch: What was he like as a puppy?

Crowley: He was nine months old when we got him.  Is that still considered a puppy?  He was and still is very active, inquisitive, playful and loving.

Patch: Does he have any good buddies either human or animal?

Crowley: Our old neighbors on Spring Rose, Dave and Connie.  They have two little dogs, Gracie and George.  Well not so much George.  George is a grumpy old man!  He also has a little buddy, named Peanut, that we always see on his walk.   He is a Golden Retriever.  They have a blast at the park.  All friendly dogs are his buddies.

Patch: So, I guess George would be his nemesis?

Crowley: No.  Our cat, Georgia is definitely his nemesis!

Patch: Does Mason do any tricks?

Crowley: Oh, yes!  He can sit, high five, shake, roll over and speak.  I am working on teaching him hand commands.

Patch: Is he a picky eater?

Crowley: No!  He loves “see-food”.  He sees food and he eats it!

Patch: Does he beg for food?

Crowley: He doesn’t beg.  He sits next to us and quietly waits for us to finish eating.

Patch: Do you plan on doing anything special with him for the holidays?

Crowley: He will get a stocking.  My 21 year old son, Brad is coming home.  He misses Brad, so that will be a surprise for him.
