Basic Training is over.....phew...

Finally, basic training is over. I was really good yesterday and had lots of fun. My brother Benny on the other hand was terrible and had to sit in the middle so Mom could work on his "Stay". He was really bad, he wouldn't even stay still for 2 seconds, what a bum.

My new toy

So mommy brought me and Benny home some new footballs. I LOVE footballs. These ones weren't squeaky or anything but they were just as much fun.

I love teasing Benny as he tries to get the ball from me and he is chasing me. I was the happiest dog.

I guess mommy bought one for my people sister Abby also. Mommy and Abby were throwing it and I wanted to catch it. So I jumped up and got it, well I knocked little Abby down. Mommy was pretty mad at me. I don't understand, they were throwing the ball and I got it like I always do.

After we came inside the house I had Benny chase me a little more. Then we were done playing and I layed down with the ball and started chewing it, my next favorite thing to do. Mommy took the ball away. I guess she didn't like me tearing it apart.

Hopefully Mom will let me play with them again soon.

So meet me...

I think this is so exciting, I love this new thing my mom and dad have done to meet new friends.

My name is Rusty. I have a brother Benny. Of course since I am older I like to pick on him. We fight daily and he challenges me to see who is the top dog in the house. Of course everyone knows it is me.

I also have a people sister Abby. She tries to tell me what to do. I only listen to her if she has food.

I like to get in trouble. Most of the time I don't like to listen. So my mom and dad take me to obedience classes. I know what they are trying to do. So I listen really well when we are there, the other dogs call me "the teacher's pet". I'm okay with it. Now those dogs need obedience, not me. I already know what to do, I just don't want too.

You know what really bothers me is my brother Benny. I know I am mommy's favorite, but then he had to come along and try and get on her good side. He licks her all the time. Well mom says that it's Benny's turn to tell everyone about him. I do not like this sibling thing.
