Hi! Oh boy! Are you coming over to see me? Whenever someone makes eye contact with me I wiggle around and bark until that person comes over to pet me. My favorite thing in the world is a good back scratch! When being pet, I wiggle around even more. Since I weigh over 80 lbs, I might knock you over as I lean into you and wag my tail wildly.

I like pulling the sled because we get to go to interesting new places and check out the smells along the way. The humans sometimes get mad at me if I get distracted by smells or litter along the trail. One time I pulled the whole team off the trail to check out a rag that had been tossed into the woods. Another time I chewed up Amy's sunglasses when she accidentally dropped them in front of me. They didn't taste very good but I liked how they crunched.

I like to roll in the snow whenever the sled stops moving. Mmm. . . what a nice back scratch! By the end of the day my tug line looks like a piece of licorice from all the twisting and rolling that I do. I like running with Domino. He and are are best friends. The humans sometimes call us Batman and Robin. (I am Batman, of course.)

Oh! I just heard someone pick up a dog food bag! It must be time for dinner. Gotta go! Woof, woof, woof!! You see, if I don't bark incessantly, I'm afraid they will forget to feed me. I have to get their attention! Woof, woof, woof!
