Toys

I like to play with all of the toys in the picture. Anything on the floor is mine and I won't give it up. When I was a young puppy I used to get my moms bunny slipper and the masters would take it away, but I always found out a way to get it again. Now that I'm a big dog I don't go after it any more. The red, yellow and purple squeaky ball is my favorite toy. Although I can make it hard to watch T.V. I still play with it. I will play with any toy, but my masters have to be willing to play. Tug-o-war is my favorite way to play with anything. My rag bone is the best for playing tug-o-war. The masters are teaching me tricks like sit, lie down, stay, fetch, rollover, shake, and jump. We have a bird feeder by our window and I like to sit on top of the sofa and watch for people walking or riding bikes and I bark at them. But if I see a squirrel I go crazy. Sometimes my masters let me out to chase it. I come close but never do get it. If I don't get it then I try to climb the tree but that does not always work. Another thing I like to do is run to the back door whenever the door bell rings or if someone knocks. I always get there first and then I wait for the masters to open the door so I can see who it is and so they can pet me.

Sleeping

One other thing I like to do is sleep! I'm good at that. I can sleep anywhere and at anytime. I can lay in any position no matter how awkward it may look. (You can see some of my sleeping positions in the pictures page.) I sleep most of the day because my Mom and Dad both work and the boys are out playing (I'm lucky one of them made me this web site). At night I have to sleep in my kennel even though I don't want to. I like to lie in peoples laps or on them. Most of the time I just put my head on their lap. My favorite spot is on the end of the love seat when I can lie with anyone else. Sleeping is my favorite thing to do.

Walks

Going on walks is also high on my list. I go on six walks a day. One in the morning, after I eat both times in the day, two times in the afternoon, and once at night. On walks I go anywhere my masters take me. If there are kids then I want to go and see them so they can pet me. One bad thing I do is pick up anything I see on the ground. So far I have only ate a dead bird but I have got to dead frogs, grass, dirt, sticks, leaves, and whatever else I can find. My masters always take it away from me but I have not learned that I 'm not suppose to get that stuff.

Petting

I like to have people pet me. Anytime day or night, I like to be pet. My favorite spot to be pet is on my belly. That's the reason my masters chose me. Because I'm so cute I get pet a lot. When I'm out on walks or if someone comes to the door they better pet me. Sometimes my masters hold me so I can't go and see who is at the door. That really makes me mad, but I still like them.

Eating

I like to eat. The food I eat is Nutro's Natural Choice Lamb and Rice. For my treats I get Nutro's Natural Choice Chops or Max Bones or Chewy T-Bones. I love the T-Bones and recommend them to any dog. At first my master gave me too much food and I would not eat it all. When they took me to the vet he said that I was 26 pounds and that I would not want to get much heavier than that. So my masters gave less food and now I eat it all and have lost 3 pounds.
