Superman is a great puppy!  Not only is he structurally sound, beautiful and healthy - but has a temperament to die for!  Watch out bad guys! He is totally living up to his name and watches out for his little sister Mocha being the one to ask when she needs to go outside, and watching over her and her best friend. As a puppy he was first to escape any enclosure gaining him the title Man OVER steel. He gained his most unusual moniker (Super Duper Yooper Pooper Puker man) because he still gets carsick when we go byebyes...hopefully he'll outgrow it some day....

Superman is very easy going for an alpha personality - almost a Clark Kent at home - he gets along with everyone and looks up to Riggs as his role model. Though he is planning on being the Alpha one day and watches Riggs intently to learn how - you can see it in his eyes!  Unassuming and sweet and very much like his Grandpa Hoover and Uncle Riggs overall, he likes cuddles, chewing on his toys, and playing with the big dogs. He does have one fault - albeit minor.  He thumps.  He does what we call vertical CPR...you know how someone pushes on a chest and does CPR - well, Superman does this to his crate door, windows, baby gates - anything he is locked behind - which means because he's getting bigger and stronger, there's not much that can hold him.  He does his super-thump and he's out (and you wondered why we kept his puppy name Superman?).  It took a locked crate door and 2 bungies to keep him inside (for awhile).  Dan had to rebuild the front of his crate in 1/2" plywood...he's working on it!  He's become the consumate escape artist by brute force!  He has also decided to take his name literally.  He lead an escape of himself, Mocha and Simone one day and scared us to death.  While they went UNDER the fence, he went OVER it - living up to his nickname "Man Over Steel"....he now has to go out in the yard on leash or instantly heads for the fence and jumps it effortlessly!  Other than that, for a teen-age boy he doesn't get into TOO much trouble.  He used to be pretty stubborn about coming when called (unless he could race Mocha to the door) but he no longer has that option thanks to his escape artist tendencies until we can come up with a fence that can contain him!  When he's in our side yard, he jumps up on the 6' pile of wood and looks out over the horizon - and worries me one day he might just decide to fly.   He likes to steal things off my desk and does the same things his other 10 siblings do -has an insatiable love of water and digging.  He's outgoing and happy and truly a "man to steal your heart"!
