To hear Ollie tell it, there\u2019s no deep, philosophical secret to being a dog. While he admits it does take a bit of concentration, the most important thing to remember is, \u201cDon\u2019t over-think life. Just be yourself. And always, always be ready to PLAY!    <\/p>\n

This five year old Miniature Poodle<\/a> loves everyone. Besides having energy to spare, his breed is known as \u201cthe second most intelligent\u201d<\/a> in the canine world. That\u2019s why we felt confident asking Ollie to share his life experience with all of us.<\/p>\n

His favorite toy? \u201cThe newest one!" Since everybody gives him toys, after they\u2019ve been in the house for a month or so, Ollie passes them on to Buddy Dog<\/a>\u2013 a shelter in Sudbury, MA.   <\/p>\n

Ollie always wears his boots this time of year. He loves the snowy, wintry weather, but not the rock salt which several veterinarians have warned him can trigger his epilepsy<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Ollie recommends an ice-melt that\u2019s safer for paws and the dogs attached to them, and safe for the environment.<\/p>\n

Great tips, Ollie! Thanks for sharing. You\u2019re an amazing Sunday Dog!<\/p>\n
