Boone's Top Ten

Boone, my now sixty pound chocolate lab puppy, insists I record his top ten list of favorite activities:

10) Chewing dog crate -- Thinks it is just one mondo doggy toy, not an apartment.

9) Pawing through garbage can -- Can easily knock it over now.

8) Drinking coffee from cups on side table -- He loves his java. What a Seattle dog.

7) Destroying stuffed animals -- Shreds them and tosses stuffing into air like snowflakes.

6) Eating --- Everything.

5) Licking refrigerator door -- In hopes it will open and he can snarf everything down.

4) Sleeping -- On my side of the bed. Kicking legs out like frogman. Snoring. Running in sleep, which boots me in the behind.

3) Fetching -- Anything he can find. Anything you throw. Even in the house.

2) Nosing people -- In odd places. At odd times. Lately does this when I'm at my desk trying to write.

1) Showering -- He is now known as the Shower Bandit. The minute the water kicks on, he opens the bathroom door (lock inexplicably not a problem) and sticks his head around the shower curtain to see what's happening. Will lay on bathroom rug until showeree is done and then helps dry the person off by licking droplets off legs. Yes, my dog is weird.

But I love him! And so does his ancient German Shepherd sister. Will post some pictures this week. It's snowing here and he's having a blast tearing through the flakes, barking and racing in circles. Gotta love puppies in the snow.
