I Am, First and Foremost, a DOG - As told by Pez
I have a sweet life, it's true. I live with my two people and my two dog siblings in a house that's big enough for a family of ten. There are no "off limits" spaces in my home and one of my favorite places to nap is on an antique feather-top sleigh bed with fabulous views of my ten acre yard. As my dad person is largely "retired" (whatever that means) and my mom person is an entrepreneur working out of her design studio in the home, I am seldom left alone for any length of time. When my people go outside, I go out with them. When my people are inside, I am inside with them.
If you are reading this, then you also know that I am somewhat of a doggy model. It's true, I model for still photos and I've been in several doggy fashion shows including one that was live on the morning news. I also helped my mom person judge a pet photo contest one time. You might have noticed that in some of the still photos on the site and on this blog I am wearing girl stuff. Yeah, tell me about it. But what can I say, the pay is good - about one treat per pose so who am I to complain.
A lot of people kind of snicker about my mom person's business and the way she puts clothes on me sometimes but I"m here to tell you, "DON"T FEEL SORRY FOR ME! I am, first and foremost, a DOG!" I once chased a coyote off our property (well, if I'm being completely honest, my 125 lb siblings got him running in the right direction and then I finished off the chase much to my mom person's dismay); if I find something stinky like one of the dead moles my sister leaves laying around I roll on it until I'm good and stinky; I like to eat stinky stuff; I can swim for miles and miles (okay, okay - it just feels like miles and miles across our swimming pond because I'm not so big); and I can make my big brother cry when we wrestle if I bite his foot in just the right place. What I'm trying to say is, "I am not a prissy dog who doesn't like to get dirty or who isn't allowed to get dirty," as the next photos can attest to.
Oh yeah - life is good for this DOG.
