I am learning to give kisses

Guess what I am learning to do? Give kisses. Mommy gives me kisses and I am learning to give her kisses too. It's only fair, don't you think? One thing that I like is that I am treated just like Fred. If I get in trouble, I don't get pampered. If Fred and I both get in trouble, we both get in trouble. Most of the time, Fred gets in trouble and I watch from afar. I love Fred but not enough to get punished as a team. He thinks that I am crazy but I learn quickly.

I have been going on lots of car rides with my family and I like it a lot. In fact, when Fred goes away for his time away from me. I miss him but mommy takes me with her to pick him up. I like that. What I don't like is hearing the other dogs bark. I think that they are barking at me and of course, I get defensive. I also have noticed that Fred protects me when other dogs come close to me. He growls. He is my protector. But mommy is the alpha dog in the house. What she says goes. We all know that including daddy.

What I find that frightens me the most is when it is thundering and lightening. I get so afraid of that noise. Fred does too. He runs and hides. I thought that I was the only chicken in the house but guess who has the issues?
