A Talking Dog

He's pretty big and sometimes I don't know what to do because he talks to us in a high pitched voice that makes you wonder where he has been. He doesn't eat or even drink water from the toilet, as most dogs of his size would try to do. How big you may wonder? He is at least five feet tall and sits in a special chair that my wife purchased just for him. No one else can have the privilege of being allowed to sit in that chair. As a matter of fact, he never gets out of it. No, he never moves a muscle to even try. I have had to move him and the chair out of my way on some occasion. It's not that he is annoying or even a problem. But the voice will come at the oddest times and speaks what will be the strangest vocals. I'm glad that he doesn't eat or have to be walked on a leash. You see, our pet is not of the ordinary variety. His fur is mostly white and has big black ears that are long and droopy. He's a big plush doggie; his name is SNOOPY.

Fine description of what large dog tend to do. I have a small dachshund. He likes to pull the toilet paper off the roll and drag it about the house. As for Franklin's turkey, my research tells me that he was more practical than aesthetic. BTW, his second choice for a national symbol was – ready for this?– the rattlesnake! Thanks for the stop by Dan./ M
