The Santana Chronicles

So, one of my best friends, Dori, interviewed me!! I am a puppy and I love these things!

• You are a puppy. What is your favorite thing about being a puppy?

Good, insightful question Dori! The best part of being a puppy is all the cuddling!! I am actually writing this blog post from underneath an afghan, cuddled up by Mallory’s legs…how lucky is that?! As a puppy, everyone wants to love me! Sure, some people get lots of love, but I’ve never met anyone who doesn’t want to squeeze me, or smoosh me, or tell me I’m cute! And sometimes this results in treats, kisses, toys and other fun things for me! Most of all though, I am crazy about curling up with Matt and Mallory…when it’s just the three of us I couldn’t be more content! Sometimes they leave just enough space between them on the couch for me to squeeeeze in there. If they forget and sit too close, I can usually remind them that I’m a puppy with some well-placed kisses to the face and wiggle my way in there! Here’s an example of when I got some prime cuddling in with Carson and Nicki when they came to visit:

• If you could eat just one food for the rest of your life, what would it be?

Butter wrappers OR fuzz balls from the floor! Tough choice!

• Where is your most favorite place to poop? Your least favorite?

Well, my least favorite is EASILY in the rain. Who wants to poop while they are getting DRENCHED by water…NOT ME! Most favorite…hmm…since I am a puppy, I will have to say, RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LIVING ROOM! This doesn’t get to happen very often because I don’t want to spoil Matt and Mallory, but let me tell you…it is a TREAT when it does happen. And then it’s just there all day for me to enjoy and be proud of!

• Who do you like better: people or dogs? What are the reasons?

PEOPLE! Here’s the thing. I’m a puppy. Yes, other dogs are similar because they are furry, like to sniff butts, and poop outside. But listen, I’M A PUPPY! I will always be a puppy! And I’ve noticed that other dogs just aren’t quite as cuddly as people (see #1). When I take Matt and Mallory to the off-leash dog park to let them run around a bit, I just jump right up onto the picnic table top and chat with the folks sitting around there…I really think we are more kin than I am with the other dogs. They just do a lot of aggressive barking and chasing out in the open. I believe there are a few times when that kind of aggression is called for. They are:

- Inside, behind the safety of glass. If people are walking by on the street, you bet I am barking!

- When you smell weakness. Old lady? Tiny toddler? Dog with three-legs? I’m on it!

- Random game play! What better time to get out my aggression than when Dori is trying to nicely play with me!

• What is your favorite game to play? Why is this game so much fun?

Speaking of games! There’s this game. It’s an ancient tradition in the land of puppies. It’s called “Bring it here, drop it, lunge at it, sit, wait, chase it, bring it back, pull it as hard as possible, growl, get annoyed when they stop playing and bring it back to them to repeat.” I have NO idea who named this game, but boy do I love it!

• If you had the ability to speak just one sentence out loud in English, what would you say?

“GUYS GUYS GUYS! GUUUUUUYS! GUYS! I’M A PUUUPPPPPYYYYY! Feed me?”

Also, the other night while making dinner, we played Hangman on the fridge whiteboard! Here’s mine! The category is “Please”….I don’t really know how categories works, apparently.

Thanks Dori for the interview! Fun!!! If anyone would like to be interviewed by a puppy, please respond and I will gladly interview you!!! I love to ask questions (I’m a puppy!!)

Puppy out.
