I love my walks. When we get up in the morning, I stare at Mom and follow her around the house because I know we are going for a walk soon. Sometimes I have to wait a long time. She says she’s waiting for the sun to come up. I don’t care if the sun…

New Stuff
Sometimes getting new stuff takes time getting used to. Take, for example, the red booties Mom bought me a few years ago. They were tight on my ankles, and my paws couldn’t relay sensory information to my brain about the condition of the floor and pavement. The first time I wore them, I performed a…
Traditions
I like routine. When we first get up in the mornings, Mom puts on her walking shoes, grabs three plastic bags, pokes her watch, loops on my leash, and off we go into the big wide world. It’s the same thing every morning. When we get back, Dad feeds me breakfast. Sometimes when Mom leaves…
Keep Learning
This is my graduation photo. I was just a little squirt back then and had passed my Obedience School Training with flying colors. My mom might tell you something different, though. It wasn’t my fault I wanted to meet all the other dogs in class. They made eye contact, so I had to give them…
Be Happy
I’m a pretty positive pup. I look at my water dish as being half full, even when Mom and Dad forget to fill it. There are always some slurps on the bottom I can lap up. Or I can always go to the super small room with the giant white water dish for a drink….
Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday to me! Happy Birthday to me! How old am I, you ask? Let’s just say I’m a senior citizen. It’s about this time every year when Mom and Dad put a silly hat on my head, sing a silly song, and sit me in front of a toy that looks suspiciously like a…
Keep Track of the Ones You Love
I keep a close watch on my mom and dad. They can be quite elusive at times, so I make sure I follow them wherever they go. Take my mom for example. She does a lot of walking down the hall, into bedrooms, back to the kitchen, into the laundry room. It’s exhausting, but I…
Time to Travel
Lately I’ve noticed something different when I go outside to do my zoomies. It’s getting warmer here in the desert. I like it. The sun warms my bones when I lay on the grass. I’ve also noticed some of our neighbors packing their cars and leaving. Where are they going and why? Do you suppose…
April Fools
I’ve heard talk that April 1st is April Fools’ Day, but I don’t know what that means. My mom looked it up on the little TV she watches in her office (even though I try to distract her by dropping my ball in her lap or licking my lips for a snack). She told me…
Lucky Dogs
I’m a lucky dog. I lick my lips and get a cookie. I show my puppy-dog eyes and get on the sofa. I toss a ball from my mouth, and it will be thrown for me to retrieve. I stare at my dad, and he’ll give me an after-dinner treat. In addition, I received a…
