I do not like to sound immodest but my parents think I am the world's nicest dog. Whether they are right or wrong about that doesn't much matter since EVERYONE agrees I am the world's most spoiled dog. Those who know me best attest to the fact that I have an absolutely winsome way about me. I live with my two doting companion persons in a beautiful rural setting and I get my own way all the time. I have noticed that some people do not do enough for their dogs. A well informed canine population could change that very quickly. I thought I would be just the dog to offer advice on the subject. So if you are leading a dog's life, it is time to assess the situation and take charge. Remember:
It seems to me expression is what makes or breaks a model. See how coy I can look when I am tired of sitting or want to turn back from a walk.
Oscar already had the young man we lived with tied around his little finger. He got to sleep with him. If I tried to butt in, he would nip my ears. He got to go places in the truck. I used to get left at home, tied up outside, simply because I tended to become disconsolate and chew things if left unattended. To realise how serious a hardship this was you must understand that we live in the Pacific Northwest and it frequently rains. (You will hear more of my feelings about rain as you get to know me better.)
From this humble beginning I have arrived in the position that I have today. I now reside with a well trained older couple who share their beds and their steaks with me. I am the only dog in the family and their lives revolve about me as they should. I am never left alone anywhere and certainly not out in the rain. I enjoy a very elevated social status since I am constantly seen out and about in all the most interesting places leading my companion persons on a leash.
My motto is, “Be all that you can be!” Remember, no one can treat you like a dog unless you let them!
