Lancelot

My story

Introducing Lancelot: the knight in fluffy armor who’s definitely ready to conquer your living room... one stuffed animal at a time. This noble warrior spends his days rounding up every single plush toy in sight and stashing them in his kennel—because who needs to leave the kingdom of toys when you can hoard them all in your fortress? By sunset, you'll find him surrounded by an empire of 20 stuffed animals, each with their own story of daring rescue (or maybe just squeaky fun). When he's not on his royal mission to collect the fluffiest of creatures, you can find him happily chasing after his ball outside, living the dream of a knight who knows how to play... and nap in between conquests. Lancelot is a 4-month-old, 30lb male Great Pyrenees mix, and let’s just say, this little knight is really living his best life. He’s totally chill with other dogs, but like any true knight, he needs a moment to vibe with them first—just to make sure they’re not trying to steal his crown or, I don’t know, start a rebellion. Once he’s cleared that hurdle, he’s all in for some serious playtime. As for the legendary “purrinators,” Lancelot is fascinated. He’s absolutely convinced that cats are tiny, fluffy dragons sent to test his bravery, so he’s on a constant quest to figure out what exactly they’re up to. He’s never met any young kids, but we’re pretty sure he’d treat them like royal subjects—guarding their stuffed animals like they were his most prized possessions, which, let’s be honest, he probably thinks they are. So, if you need a knight to defend a kingdom of plushies, Lancelot’s your guy. Lancelot is more the “mysterious stranger brooding in the corner of the tavern” type than the social butterfly. When it comes to meeting new people, he won’t be charging in for hugs or doling out high-fives like your local golden retriever. Nope—Sir Lancelot prefers to dramatically tuck his tail, retreat like a fluffy shadow, and silently question your worthiness from a safe distance. Basically, if you're not a stuffed animal, you’ve got some serious winning over to do. Lancelot’s energy level is the perfect balance between a sloth and a tortoise—so, about a 5 out of 10. He’s really not in a rush to do much of anything except sit there and contemplate life...well, and collect toys...that is pretty important too. He’ll just sit there, pondering life, while the world passes by. The leash? Oh, don’t get him started. It’s still a mystery to him, like trying to explain algebra to a toddler. He’s not quite sure about it, but we’re working on it. When it comes to car rides, he’s like a cat at the vet—needs to be picked up and placed in the car like a royal cargo, but once he’s in, he settles in as if he’s in first class, ready to cruise. Now, when it comes to adventures, we’re pretty sure he’ll be down for them—once he figures out humans aren’t a dangerous species. Right now, he’s a bit of a shy guy. But don’t worry, we’ve cracked the code for him. For example, if you open a door, just turn around and pretend you’re not interested in him—then he’ll come right in. Just make him believe it is all his idea...really... it's just like trying to get your partner to do something! He also loves playing with a ball outside, but don’t expect him to return it. He’s more into the ‘I’ll watch you throw it and then go get it myself if I feel like it’ approach. Lancelot is potty trained—a true prodigy, really. He’s mastered the ancient and elusive art of doing his business outside like a civilized gentleman. We know, it’s impressive. Go ahead and alert the media. While other pups are still figuring out what a pee pad is for (spoiler: not chewing), Sir Lancelot here is already strutting outside like he’s got a royal appointment with a shrub. He’s kennel trained, alright—by choice, of course. Not because he has to be, but because that’s where his stuffed animal empire resides. His kennel isn’t a crate; it’s his royal chamber, his treasure vault, his personal museum of plushies. Lancelot? A chewer? Please. He’s far too sophisticated for such peasant-level behavior. While other pups are out there demolishing furniture like it’s their full-time job, Lancelot prefers a more refined lifestyle—one that doesn’t involve gnawing on your shoes, baseboards, or the remote control (how gauche). No, he leaves the chewing to the amateurs. He’s more of a "gather stuffed animals like a dragon hoards treasure" kind of guy. Tasteful. Dignified. Lancelot’s barking style? Let’s call him the peer-pressure pundit. He’s not out there filing his own news reports or announcing ghost squirrels in the backyard, but if the other dogs start talking, he’s suddenly got opinions. He’s basically the guy at a group dinner who wasn’t going to say anything, but now that everyone's fired up, he’s like, “Yeah! What they said!” So if you’re ready to share your home with a dramatic stuffed-animal hoarder who may or may not consider you worthy of his presence, Lancelot is your guy.
