About the People

They seem nice. They buy lamb and rice food and usually have snacks in their pockets when we go for walks. We've gotten them in a pretty regular habit of walking (including the Man, who never walks anywhere). We'll do a loop in front of the house (1 mile) or the Panorama loop (1.8) or the dog park (1.5?). Some days, we get two out of three. We sleep really well, which the People seem to appreciate.
They put our bed in the kitchen (YES) and only close the gate when OTTO does something stupid or makes a lot of noise. We get some rawhide chewies which aren't bad (uh, People, they do make chicken flavor, I'm just sayin') and the Man is always dropping food on the floor. The Lady buys us awesome stuffed animals that we play with until MamaLu finds out, steals them from us and chews the face off before we can. I really want to chew the face off something before she gets to it.
They let me out into the living room when they watch the glowing box that makes all the noise, and I maneuver my way onto the couch and fall fast asleep. They think it's charming, and I'm CONVINCED this is why they chose me over Otto.
There is one thing not perfect over here, and that's The Old Man. He's grumpy and doesn't like when I bark at him, but he's pretty slow so I can run around him in circles so at least that's fun. Plus, he peed on Otto the other day (YES). The People call him Hank, but to me, he's The Old Man. Not very much fun, but the People Man seems really attached to him.
So in the house, there's MamaLu, Otto, the Lady, the Man, the Old Man and someone they call Grampadon. There's talk of a Bibi, which somehow always makes me hungry for pupcakes. There are other playmates in the neighborhood, like Bella and Bear, Bogie, Fella, Halo and Mesa. We see them all the time when we walk.
Did I mention that we walk OFF LEASH? It's not that complicated really, and the People are really excited. They haven't connected the fact that they give us snacks if we stay close. I mean, who's gonna wander off when there's snacks? We're really good about staying out of the road when cars come (again, thanks to the snacks.) Is there any problem snacks can't solve?
There is a tiny bit of snow left, as you'll see in the photos the Man seems to be fond of taking. The very last one is a view of Bozeman from the road by our house.
