Name: Ziggy.
Suburb: Gumdale.
How long have you lived here? Just about to clock up 10 years. Might put in for long service!
Your favourite local walk? Anywhere beyond the front gate. Ever since my owners joined the local gym I’ve been on walk rations.
Your most treasured toy? My rope and ball. My owners have a secret stash of spares in the garden shed which they think I don’t know about.
Your favourite food? Any human food. I do however have a penchant for kangaroo meat and vegies, which I like to wash down with purified tap water.
Your worst habit? Itching and scratching, it’s a nervous infliction I’ve had since I was a pup.
Your favourite local hangout? The park at the end of our street. I’m not too keen to share my
favourite corner of the park with other dogs or the resident wildlife though.
Your best doggo friend? Marla the border collie cross. She broke my heart when she moved up to the Sunshine Coast for a sea change (check out the photo of the rose I bought for her last Valentine’s Day).
Any funny or embarrassing stories you’d like to share? On my first trip to The Spit on the Gold Coast I swam in the ocean like Grant Kenny. Unfortunately my owners didn’t warn me not to drink the sea water. It was ginger ale all the way home.
What do people love most about you? I like to give all visitors to our house an open mouth welcoming grin and obligatory sniff test. Also everyone seems to like my ears, which are at least two sizes too big for my head.
