Hey, look at me! Yes, I am in charge here and if anyone doesn't think so, I'll fight 'em. In my mature age of 11 years I've developed a list of priorities to govern my actions.

  1. I like to do what I want to do.

  2. I like to pull the sled.

  3. I like to fight.

Sometimes priority #1 overrides and confuses priority #2 and #3, but other than that I'm pretty predictable. I also like to eat. I can't think of too much else really. Pull, eat, fight but not necessarily in that order.

Sometimes it is hard being in charge. One of my pet peeves is when my running partner lies down during lunch break and tries to rest. C'mon man, get up! We might have to move at any moment. I be sure to growl and let him know during the entire lunch break that he shouldn't get too comfortable.

There is one dog who drives me bananas. Maddalen Malibou. She really thinks she is hot stuff! Young, disrespectful.... As alpla female, I make it a point to show her that I am the boss! I growl and snarl at her anytime I see her.  The humans seem to have noticed this so they never put the two of us anywhere near each other. Okay, I think they're coming to put my harness on soon so I've got to go. We'll talk soon.
