A Message from Pal, the dog: <p>

It is interesting to listen to the owners of pets talk to us dogs. Some people choose to scream, others to quietly beg. The purpose, I suppose, is to get our attention to do a task that satisfies the nice, and the not so nice, pet owners. <p>

Take me for example, my name is Pal. I've been living the good life since after my birth with a kind and very loving couple. I call him my Dad, and his wife, I call my Mom. I know they are not my Mom and Dad, but what else would I call them. <p>

Usually they refer to me as their cute little puppy. Actually I have been living a very good life with this couple for almost my entire life. They purchased me when I was a brand new baby pup. <p>

Dad has attempted to teach me what a dog's life is all about. For the most part his teachings have succeeded, but only because I agree with his sometimes strange ideas. The real reason I agree to do anything is that Dad gives me good treats to eat. We pets do anything our owner's desire, provided we are given a reward. Otherwise, forget it!
