Dear Adventurer and Family;

  Hope you arrived at Grandma C's safely sans me.  I'm doing well and have spend the last few days training the help.  I now have them believing that I can be trusted off the leash at least in the back field.  The front may still take some convincing as I like to play "chase me" when I get out into the front and they don't see the humour in this game.  I'm sleeping with 1 of 4 this week and like to sleep on her face.  Well, actually I sleep on her face until she pushes me over to the pillow which is good too.

  We are having some issues with the food service though.  Perp was growing concerned after I refused to eat more than a few kibbles (she wouldn't pre-chew my food for me.)  I did try some of that other dogs food and found it to my liking and have learned that if I make a cute face and sit real pretty I get a few table scraps as well...ooops, I don't think I was supposed to tell you that part.

  I have been a good boy and come when I'm called in the house with the pig call, but have a giggle when I hear them trying to call me that way outdoors.  They've gotten some pretty odd looks from neighbours and fellow dog walkers when seen standing in the middle of the field calling "soo-ee, here pig, pig, pig and I pretend I don't know what they're talking about.  That was a good joke.  Glad you thought of it.

I miss you and hope you're having a good time even though I can't be there.

Licks and Yaps
