I Love Belly Rubs!

One of my most favorite things is when someone scratches my belly. As you can see by this picture, even pretty girls like to scratch my belly! This is one of my humans before her dance recital.

My favorite toys

I love toys. One of my favorite toys is the Kong Wubba. (mom says she buys these in bulk.) I like to chase it, whip it around and squeak it. Here is a picture of me playing with my Kong Wubba after my bath.

I also love regular Kongs. My mom and dad fill the red Kongs with peanut butter and treats. It's one of the few toys I haven't figured out how to destroy.

My other favorite toy is any stuffed toy, especially if it makes a squeaking noise. I enjoy the challenge of finding the squeaker and pulling out all of the stuffing!

Bath time

I go to doggie day care 3 times a week, and it's one of my favorite places! I love playing with the other dogs, especially my friends Lucy, Toby and Angel. But after a couple of weeks of doggie day care, my mom says I get really stinky. Bath time is defintely not my idea of fun (as you can see by the picture), but I love running around the yard afterwards. And the best part after a bath: everyone seems to pet me and hug me more!

Freedom at last

My mommy and daddy have started allowing me to be out of my cage when they leave the house for short periods of time. My mom says I can be trusted more now that I'm older. My dad says "We'll see how long this lasts." Even though they leave my cage door open, I still sleep in there when they are gone. I'm going to try to be really good.

My Friend Monte

I have a friend named Monte who stayed over night last weekend. Monte doesn't really like to play with me or any of my toys, but she's pretty cool. My mom says that Monte is much better behaved than me and doesn't need as much attention as I do. What do you suppose that means? Here's a picture of me being nice to Monte. (I'm on the right, of course!)

My Friend Abby

My mom says I have more doggy friends than she has people friends. This is a picture of me and my friend Abby getting a drink of water after playing in my yard. (I'm on the left, of course!) She lives down the street from me and loves to play.
