Smile Pretty

To start out the new year on the right foot, I took my new dog Casey out for two nice long walks....in the rain! Thngs I know about Casey so far:
-he stays off the furniture
-he whines quietly at passers by
-he whines quietly to get back in the house
-he loves to hear my voice and get petted
-is petted a word?
-he stands in front of the door when he needs out
-he doesn't beg for food
-he stays out of the garbage
-he doesn't like to be alone
-he loves to go for walks
-he needs to learn manners while going for walks
-he doesn't make a mess with his food or water
-he barks like a maniac at the vacuum cleaner
