Bill Cobbs is quite the accomplished Hollywood actor. Cobbs has demonstrated his sensational acting chops for more than three decades. He has appeared in more than 120 television programs, and some of his notable roles have included ER, CSI, The Sopranos, The Others, JAG, The Drew Carey Show, Lost, Empty Nest, Coach, amongst many others. On the big screen you might have caught him in Night at the Museum, Air Bud, Ghosts of Mississippi, The Hudsucker Proxy or That Thing You Do. His list of accomplishments is pages long, but there is one gal that doesn't need a Hollywood resume to fall in love with him; she's none other than his beloved Sheba.
While Bill might be the star to the public, there is only one star at home, and that is his Belgian Tervuren pooch Sheba. Bill adopted the 13-year-old years ago when he saw her in a box of puppies a young boy was selling. He snatched her up for $40 and since then, the two have grown to be a family. Bill and Sheba play fetch, especially with Sheba's favorite toy, a chicken, called a Suspicious Chicken, made by FAT CAT, Inc. All this fetching, plus walks with dad and riding in the car requires serious naptime"”in Bill's bedroom, of course.
Sheba certainly has a personality all her own. She can't stand the vacuum, doesn't like the exterminator and the leaf blower pushes her over the edge.
"She hides when we get dressed up because she thinks we will not take her with us, so we have to plead with her to come out of hiding when we leave. Then she won't eat the treat we give her until we return," notes Bill. "As famous animal rights activist Roger Caras would say, she is not our whole life, but she makes our life whole. She shows us nothing is quite as serious as it seems."
Life is silly and simple at home with the Cobbs, and that is just how they like it!
