I'm HRH Toby. I am two years old in human years, well I am
human so I use human years. I'm not sure what people call "dog years". I love to play with my soft bell that I
got for Christmas. I talk all the time to my mommy when she gets home from work. I tell her everything that went
on while she was gone. Some days the kids are home before her, but they work on their homework or play outside.
Some weekends, my mommy takes me to this place where they wash me, dry me, clip me, and then put a bow in my hair. I
don't like being away from home, and I let mommy know it when I see her. I like to go and go. Mommy takes me to
see my Uncle Winny at Pawpaw's house from time to time. Sometimes my sister, Cindy, comes to visit me. I still
get to go home and see my birth mother and daddy. They live with our cousin Debbie in Tyler.
If a Dog were your Teacher
You would learn stuff like...
When
loved ones come home, always run to greet them. Never
pass up the opportunity to go for a car ride. Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face
to be pure ecstasy. As you enjoy the wind in your face, do not restrict your capacity to drool. When
it's in your best interest -- practice obedience. Let others know when they've invaded your territory.
Take naps and stretch before rising. Run, romp, and play daily, if not by the minute. Thrive
on attention and let people touch you. Avoid biting, when a simple growl will do. On
warm days, stop to lie on your back on the cool grass. On hot days, drink lots of water and lay under
a tree. When you take a drink of water, find a human to drip the extra on. When you're
happy, dance around and wag your entire body. No matter how often or severely you're scolded, don't buy
into the guilt thing and pout...run right back and make friends. Delight in the simple joys of a long
walk. Eat with gusto and enthusiasm. Don't stop when you've had enough. Be loyal.
Tolerate cats -- humans love that. If what you want lies buried, dig until you find
it, where ever that leads you. When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by and nuzzle them
gently.
