Canine, this story is SO awesome.

It makes me so happy to read such adventures and bonds with our animal companions. Yours and Christa's is obviously very special. Your blessed.

"Definitely NOT a writer" you say on your about me page, Canine277, but

this is definitely some pretty good writing here.  It draws in the reader and brings forth real feelings for the bond that you and your Crista formed from the beginning.    Also, I really liked your second entry to Kay-Ren's competition about movies.   I'm glad you are not a gangster.

How sweet - when Thumper shakes paws - he falls over - his legs

are three inches long - but it helped me teach him to roll over! and he loves to be a lap dog, lap face, lap food, lap carpet - he laps it all.

My big dogs

think they are lap dogs and they both sit pretty (sit up and beg). Christa gave hugs on command. She would climb up and put her head on your shoulder. Kids LOVE silly pet tricks.

Canine - I would love that - truly I would. I have Thumper trained -

but he is a mini-doxie - so is not much protection. He can do tricks tho! And he thinks he's a big dog.

Someday I'm going to train one just for you.
