I don't know about this. Do I know you? I don't think I know you. You are a stranger. I will hide in my house until you go away. I am mildly curious about you, so I might stick my head out the door.


If you were a Amy or Dave, I would jump around and ask you to pet me. I know Amy, Dave, and all the other guides. They are okay, I am afraid of strangers. I stay out of my house for Amy and Dave. I let them pet me and harness me.

I have one bent over ear. It is not as floppy as Fennel's ears. I got it from my sister Isis. She and I look very similar, except for the ear thing. We are both reddish, like our dad Steve. Some people say that we look like foxes.

I am a lead dog in training. People say I am very smart. I guess that is because when they say "gee" I go right and when they say " haw" I go left. It is not that hard. It doesn't take a rocket scientist.

I really like Thistle. He is great. Any time I am near him, I get all playful and happy. Yep, he and I are buddies. Except sometimes if I get too excited, he growls at me.
