Winston carries his teddy bear, above

Winston is doing great.  He looks like he has lost a little weight.  His butt doesn't look so big and he runs a little better.  He loves to raid my laundry baskets for socks and stuff.  The girls love playing with him.  He stole a dish rag, so now we use it for tug of war with him.  He's like a kid, needs his play time every night!  He has to be right in the middle of the action when you're doing something.  My husband and I were putting furniture together and I was sitting on the floor.  Winston decided to sit in my lap, so now he truly has become a lap dog.

Winston's teddy bear is the only thing he will not rip apart.  All he does is toss it up in the air, give it a couple of chews, and toss it up in the air some more.  Then he won't bother with it until the next day.  We are teaching him to sit and stay with treats--which piggy will do anything for treats!  I have taught him to "speak" to me when I'm done fixing his meal and ready to give it to him--so he gives me a couple of barks.  He is such a love bug and loves attention!
