I'm Famous!

Daddy just told me that Mommy put a picture of me, Safire, Sammy, and Ella on her desk at work and she put our names on it so everybody knows who we are! I feel very special!

Mommy works at a hospital where she helps humans who don't feel well and need help. I've never been there but I bet Mommy treats the people she helps (I think she calls them "payt chents") as nice as she treats us. I know that she sees therapy dogs at work and she says that they are very nice dogs. I wish I could be a therapy dog. The only thing is, I would probably feel sorry for the payt chents and that would make me sad. But I would try as hard as I could to make them happy. I would do tricks for them and rub up against them to let them know that I care about humans and I want to do everything I can to make them happy. I love it when humans call me a good boy and pet me. It makes me feel all tingly and it makes my tail wag like crazy!

I think my master Chris is coming home to see me tonight. I am so excited! He is a student at a medical school very far away and I miss him so much. He wants to be a doctor and help people just like Mommy does at the hospital. I know he will be very good at it. He always makes ME happy when I see him. He even used to take me with him to the lake when he rode his Jet Ski. Sometimes we would take the boat and he would let me ride up front. Then when the boat stopped I would jump in the water and swim. The humans in our family would throw big sticks and Safire (she's a Black Labrador Retriever) and I would swim to get them and bring them back. It was a lot of fun. Sammy the Red Dachshund would stay in the boat and bark at us. Sometimes Sammy would jump in too but he would get tired very easily. Then Mommy or Daddy would have to lift him back into the boat.

I can't wait for the snow that I know will come this winter. I like to run and play in it while Daddy is using the snowblower on the driveway and sidewalk. Sometimes Aunt Wendy and Uncle Merle come out in the snow and play with us. Aunt Wendy almost always has treats for us, snow or no snow. We love them very much because they are so nice to us.

I can't wait for Chris to get home tonight! I'm going to go lie by the door and wait for him. Maybe I'll take a nap while I'm waiting. Wait, I'd better take a toy with me. Chris likes it when I show him a toy as soon as he walks in the door. Getting sleepy .....
