I will share with you my best animal friend as he might if he could talk.

A am a dog. I fist met my owner when a friend of the family brought me by. I was just about 5 months old at the time. My owner didn't want me at first, but he says I am the best dog he has owned now.

My name is Riley. I am 7 years old. I am a Catahoula/Australian Shepherd. I stand as tall as my owners knee. I am covered in black and white blotches and spots and have short hair. I have white flecks in my eyes, but my eye color is brown.

My master doesn't like it when I chase cats, but I ONLY chase the ones that run! If it won't run, it isn't any fun. One of my best friends is a cat called Luna. We get along great. I even share my food with him from my bowl. I don't chase him like I do other cats. We are pals.

I like my food and can't wait every day for the time when my owner feeds me. He says I am getting a bit tubby around the middle, I don't know what that means unless its one of treats he gives me sometimes? I really like the rawhide wraps and the beef bones he gives me are great to gnaw on when I am bored. I will often stare at him until he notices me if he hasn't fed me yet. He will eventually ask me if I am hungry and I talk to him and tell him you are damn right! For effect, I will dance around, talk, groan and growl until he gets me my food. Sometimes he makes me wait...it kills me when he does that! Doesn't he know I am starving?

Master taught me how to sit, fetch, lay, heel, sing and stay. I am very good at doing all of these and it pleases master when I do them right.

At night, I sleep on a nice comfy bed at the foot of his. I am not allowed on the furniture. If I am found on the furniture I get in BIG trouble, but I get to be inside where it is nice and warm! During the day, one of my favorite places to lay is next to the stove.

I am extremely loyal and appreciate all my owner does for me. I can prove it too.

I don't trust people that I don't know. When someone I don't know comes near my owner, I bark and growl in a mean or threatening way at them. Master sometimes puts me in a room until I settle down when there are lots of people. He lets me out after they are sitting down and have been there for awhile. I hate it! Maybe he just doesn't understand that I am just watching his back? He sometimes yells at me to be quiet, I don't listen though. It makes him upset that I wont' listen when he says be quiet, but I just can't help it! I just can't let people do what they want in my home! Especially people I don't know. I am very firm about it. Its just my way of telling them that they have to behave. My owner gets it all wrong and tells me to behave? It is frustrating that part. Why can't he understand?

When people come into the house, my owner ALWAYS has to tell them to stop, stand still and wait until I can get a good sense of them if this is the first time to visit. After I check them out and master doesn't seem worried about them, I guess they are OK. But, I watch them to make sure they behave from a corner where I have another bed.

I have never bitten anyone, but I would if they didn't listen when master tells them to hold still. Sometimes I will lay between them and him. He is my best friend an nobody is going to hurt him when I am by his side.

Sometimes master goes for a walk. I love to go with him. We also sing together. He says I sing real pretty. The best though is when he scratches my back and pats my tummy. I can't ever get enough of that. So, when he leaves me at home I hate it! He doesn't always leave me though. I frequently get to go on bye bye rides. I don't always know what he does when we go into town. He mostly leaves me in the truck, but he almost always shares a treat with me so its all good, especially when we go to the windows. If he orders something with bacon from the window, he gets it on the side and always gives it to me. He won't eat it himself. French fries are good too, but the bacon is the best! I love those windows! They are not often, but they are great!

Master says I am now a daddy dog.....I don't know what that means, but he says there are lots of happy families that do. I guess all those other little annoying baby puppies that were here is what he is talking about? They are gone now and have been for awhile. He says they all went to good homes. It is peaceful here again, although he kept one? She doesn't look like me, but she smells like me, so I guess that is OK, but he keeps us apart most of the time. He says he has to until she gets fixed, whatever that means. I don't mind though, because she annoys me most of the time anyways.

In all, I have a pretty good life. I am warm, fed and loved and I take care of my owner because he is good to me. I wouldn't have it any other way.
