I just wanted to bark out to all my friends that I was a 'good boy" while mom was away at work today. She left me out of my cage and was gone longer than she thought she would be, but I was still a good boy. I didn't chew anything up or potty on the floor. Thanks Yogi and Teddy for the suggestions on how to keep myself busy! I tired myself out and I was sleeping in my open cage when mom finally got home. (I hope this means that I will get to stay out of my cage while mom and dad are at work) Now Maize and I get to go to the creek and swim!!!
