We went to another dog show and my sister, Noel, came home from the dog show with me to stay at our house for a while. Granny Pat and Mom said Noel needs some more experiences. Wellll, I’ll tell you, she is in the right place … this house is an experience a second. We are all so busy barking at squirrels, watching the clouds, splashing in our water dishes, and <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>laying in front of the fans that we couldn’t squeeze another activity into our day!<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Mom took Noel and me to the dog food store last night. Noel was a little bit scared but I thought that it was MY store. I barked at a parrot, got my tummy rubbed by some kids, tried to climb a mountain of dog food, explored a wooden dog house, and almost succeeded in clearing the entire bottom shelf of toys! Boy, did I have fun! I even got so excited that I left a puddle and a treasure for them on the floor as a thank you gift! Mom was embarrassed.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>After the way I acted, Mom wouldn’t even buy me a toy. I guess I will have to be good next time … yeah, right!<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Slurps,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Nick<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
