My dog is the coolest because...
Hello, my name is Ivy. I want to tell you a little about myself. I’m way more than a dog to my family. Frankly, between you and me, I don’t know how they survived before I blessed them with my presence in their lives.
First of all, I love to sleep. I’ll sleep in the chair, and we have two couches that work well, too! But my favorite place is my parent’s bed. Really, it’s my bed but I let them use it. They love it when I start in a compact ball at bedtime, but then slowly stretch out to the size of a pony by morning.
Going for walks is one of my favorite activities. Even though I’ve lived in the same neighborhood my whole life, I love to stop and smell everything numerous times. Sometimes you miss something, ya know? I also like to say hello to the other dogs who are still in their houses. I bark at them. They bark at me. It is a fun game we play. Speaking of games, I’m very fond of the one where I poop two or three separate times on a walk. I win if whoever is walking me gets annoyed. My record is 156-0!
My life isn’t all fun and games. I work, too! My job is to clear off all the food that sits too close to the edge of the table or counter. I also keep the yard clear of invading squirrels and rabbits from the inside of the house by barking very loudly for far too long. And lastly, I’m in charge of keeping all of the furniture covered with my hair. It eventually ends up on everyone’s clothes so, in a way, I’m with my family all day long while they’re out doing people things.
