Likes:
Rawhide chewies, playing keep-away with his stuffed snake and playing with his big brother, Sammy.

Pet-Peeves:
When Sammy gets all the attention, firecrackers, the popping of bubble wrap and getting scolded. He isn't big on baths, either...

Favorite Toy:
His stuffed snake that his aunt Karen bought him.

Favorite Food:
Peanut butter, cheese and an occasional nibble of pizza. And he loves a vanilla ice cream cone from Dairy Queen if he's been a good baby at the lake!

Favorite Walk:
Arbor Lake. And he's starting to learn how to swim!

Best Tricks:
Swimming across the lake with a little bit of coaxing, tossing his stuffed snake in the air and catching it

Arrival Story:
Ernie was a stray. He let himself into our house one cold November evening. He was extremely dirty and smelled like a piggy fresh off the farm. I gave him a nice warm bath and after a little bit of supper he fell asleep in my arms. That was that!
