Someone requested a blog from Jake. I wasn’t sure what he would write, so I let him describe his typical day:

“Dave gets up. I’m still sleeping. He gives me breakfast and then goes and works out in the basement. I go down to see what he’s doing. He throws the ball a few times and I run and get it. He doesn’t do that enough. I get bored and go back to bed. He lets me out so I can do my dirty sinful business. He leaves for school. I bark at the garage door for a while, hoping it will convince him to come back in. It doesn’t work.

“I sleep all day until Dave gets home. I hear his car coming down the street and the garage door opens. I grab Big Bunny so I can meet him at the door with it. He loves when I bring him presents when gets home from a hard day at work. He makes dinner for me. Yummers.

“His girlfriend Sam comes over. I bark at her for a while. It’s happy barking. She should feel honored that I like her so much. She doesn’t. I just annoy her. I don’t really care. It’s fun barking at her. I hang out in the living room with them while they watch television.

“Bedtime. I used to have to sleep on the floor, and jump up at around 3am when they’re too tired to notice, and lay at the foot of the bed. Now I’m on the bed before they even get there and they don’t try to kick me off. If they do, I growl at them and they leave me alone. I have them both trained pretty well. I sleep between them, usually on her side. It annoys her. I like annoying her.

“Tomorrow I’ll do the same thing. Life is good.”
