Dog Story

Well I am a dog. I need some bones for a bones cake because it's my Dad's birthday. So I went to my next door neighbor to get some bones. And as I just started to say to that cat, he yelled, "Get out of here!" It was mean so I went to his next door neighbor. Then well you get the idea.

Have a wonderful week. Keep checking back for updates on all the fun things happening in our room. I'll end with a picture of our fabulous friend with some pretty snazzy, new glasses!
