Today's Post is about my dog, Toby



Toby, the rat terrier, is 7 years old. We adopted him as a cute little puppy. We picked him out from a litter of puppies in a pen in someone's home. We had to pick him out really quickly because it smelled so bad in this house that we needed to get out in a hurry so we could resume breathing.

Toby is a pretty good dog - he's smart but he doesn't like to go on about it. He does a few tricks like sit, stay, beg, give paw, dance, lie down, roll on side, and crawl. He hates rabbits, squirrels, mice, birds and anything else that he could possibly catch and eat. When he was younger, he caught a bird in mid-air. Nowadays, he wouldn't be able to do that easily.

His best friend is little Teddy, the pomapoo. I'm sure I'll write about Teddy later. Toby doesn't care for William, his other room-mate pet. He would never admit it, but I can tell that he is terrified of William.

Toby's favorite crime is food-stealing and he does this at every opportunity.

His birthdate is June 18, which he shares with Paul McCartney. They are both Geminis.
