Freya's life of leisure

A typical day for Freya

I spend all night in the bedroom, I spread myself all over the floor and Mommy and Daddy are very careful not to step on me. I think it is important to stay put for the night so that they can feel safe. Only after my brother, Bilbo has woken them up will I leave them and check on the front door.
Mornings I spend checking all the activity out front. I can lie on the tiles below the fish tank and have a dogs’ eye view of the garden and road. I am a very good guard dog, nothing happens without me knowing about it and I let everybody know. Mommy doesn't like it too much when I bark at everything but love to tell everybody when people walk past the house. Bilbo likes to help me tell everybody.
People think I am very cross because I can do the 'attack dog' thing very well but shame some humans are very stupid and just see my teeth but never my wagging tail! Got them fooled!
I don't mind the heat as much as Bilbo because my hair is shorter and I don't weigh as much as him. I just love to sit up on my hind legs and paddle with the front legs till Mommy or Daddy comes to give me a hug. I love hugs almost as much as I love food. Did I mention I love food - no, how remise of me.
I just cannot get enough of the lovely stuff and will do anything for a bit of food. I wash the floor, cupboards and have even been caught out by look-a-like food. I also love to eat any wood, if you come and visit me you will always find me looking through the garden for a nice branch to chew, its all in the chew not the flavour just like bubblegum.
I love to go for walks but afterwards my leg gets quite stiff but that is okay so long as I can run and sniff all the messages left by other dogs. The beach is the best place, it all smells so different and the water tastes funny but it is such great fun. I like playing tug-of-war with Bilbo and the kelp is just like a big version of my favourite rope toy. Only thing is Bilbo prefers ‘kill’ all the kelp!
Woof, Woof
