<DIV id=yiv1176528735>Well, the other day I came home from shopping and saw the eeriest sight! Vito was laying in the big dog bed. Surrounding him were all the Santa toys. Santa woobie, Santa squeeky, Santa Teddybear, Santa hedgehog, a green rubber squeeky and the red and white squid. All these things were buried deep in the toybox. No other toys were out except Arfur's hedgehog which is always out. THIS PUP SCARES THE DAYLIGHTS OUT OF ME!! HOW CAN HE POSSIBLY KNOW???? This has happened once before, but I wrote it off as a coincidence. But now, how can it be a coincidence? And how can he be that smart??

<DIV>To top it off, they had left a small hedgehog out in the snow. Before I went to the mail yesterday, I told them to bring it in so it didn't get iced in. when I came home, it was on the sofa frozen to a big chunk of icy snow. AND THEN...yesterday I overslept because Arf did not come up and wake me up in the morning. So when I went to bed, I told him, "make sure you come up and get mommy in the morning - you know I don't wake up without you." You know the rest. I wake to "bump" "Bump" and whining and a cold nose. He bumped me in the head to get me going. People are crazy if they say that dogs don't understand you. I think they are brighter than some people I know. </DIV>
