Pod is a world class escape artist - nothing holds her for long. But that's only because she wants to be near you - she's a people POD... She is best friends with Chevy and her adopted mom Gracie (who takes care of her as if she were her own) - meanwhile her real mom, Holly, does not like her at all. Probably because she was gone, and then came back. Pod is a lot like her sisters (Mula & Jazz) except she's taller, lankier, and has qualities of both - she's a little shy like Jazz, and pushy like Mula - but in many ways is most like Holly. Now that Chevy is gone to the rainbow bridge - the puppies Superman & Mocha are her "pack" that she shares with the others. But she thinks they are all hers - the three of them will run for HOURS nonstop in the yard. If the puppies need to be tired out, Pod is the one to do it!

Pod is an expert climber and if you leave her outside long enough, she'll scale the 5 ft. woodpile so she can get a great view of the landscape! Of course, she can't always get down which means we have to rescue her. No pen or crate will hold her long - we have to use tons of extra clips though fortunately she doesn't feel the same about the back yard and so far she stays put there. She plays very nicely with Gracie and Chevy - wrestling and chasing them around the yard. She is ALWAYS the one that starts the game of keep away. She loves it because she is smaller and much faster! She has the structure of a gazelle - lean and lithe with the longest tongue I've ever seen. (in fact, she reminds me of Jar Jar Binks of Star wars....) She is also a talker like Mom Holly, and always has something to say! She likes nothing better than to hang out and watch TV on the bed, but it's hard for her to be still as she's always busy - on the bed, off the bed, on the bed, off investigating. She loves to do new things and loves rides in the van.... She also earned her nickname pee-pod because if she gets angry she isn't getting enough attention..well, you get it.... But generally she is a sweetheart, very busy and a lot of fun. Her favorite toy is a CUZ - a strange little ball with feet and horns - kind of like Pod - a sweety with a devilish side!!!

She also likes her Poohbah! She is in love - she got a Poohbah at one of our garage sale excursions (Pod is my official Garage Sale dog!) and thinks it's her puppy. She won't stay out long and hurries back because Poobah may call for her (or so she thinks). She is so gentle with Poohbah puppy. Poohbah talks and says "PooBah" - which I truly think Pod thinks means "mommy". It also says "ooooooh" "uuuuuuuu" and other strange sounds and Pod just loves it. It is suitably slimy wet from being carried constantly and you'll hear "PoooooohBah" coming from her room. In case you are wondering what a Poohbah is - see below. Pod's favorite Poohbah is orange, but it's so slimy wet I couldn't get a good photo of it.

Pod now has her OWN blog... www.hairy-podder.com ...check it out for a Pod view of the world
