Things That I Like

SNIFFING: I love to sniff things. Sniffing is a great way to greet someone new. Try it sometime and
let me know the results.

RUNNING: I love to run. Even if I have no destination,
I'll run in circles.

WATER: I love the water. If it's deep enough, I'll swim in it; if not, I'll roll in it.

FETCHING: I love to fetch things. Fortunately. my humans love to throw things. It's fun for all of us.

CARS: I love to ride in the car. I even enjoy it when it's a trip to the vet.

CHEWING: I love to tear up paper and boxes. I turn the newspaper into confetti. I even love the UPS man,
he brings my humans boxes. I wonder why they won't let me have them first.

NAPPING: Anytime, any place, whenever I'm not doing other things.


Have Fun With Your Humans

After your humans give you a bath, don't let them towel you dry! Instead, run to their bed, jump up and dry yourself on the sheets. This is especially good if it's right before your human's bedtime.

Act like a convicted criminal. When your humans come home, put your ears back, with tail between your legs and chin down, and act as if you have done something really bad. Then, watch as the humans frantically search the house for the damage they think you have caused. Note: This works best when you have done absolutely nothing wrong.

Let the humans teach you a brand new trick. Learn it perfectly. When the humans try to demonstrate it to someone else, stare blankly back at the humans. Pretend you have no idea what they're talking about.

Help your humans learn patience. When you go outside to 'pee', sniff around the entire yard as your humans wait. Act as if the spot you choose to pee will ultimately decide the fate of the earth.
