A Day in the Life of ...
Milo The Dog

Hi! My name is Milo. I am the family pet of the Maltby family of Redwood City, California. I have a very exciting home life. Most of my days are spend frolicking around the house, but I love to be taken on walks around the block where I can visit with my doggie friends. I am learning all kinds of new stuff, too. I go to doggie school where I take classes on how to do tricks. My favorite is rolling over. Sometimes I'll even roll over without my master telling me to just for a treat. I love doggie treats! Oh-boy-o-boy!!

I love my masters very much. I show that I love them by licking their feet. I always give them lots of kisses. And, I love meeting new people. I also love it when I get to play in the bathtub. It's so relaxing on a hot day. The soap bubbles are so much fun to swallow. Sometimes I try and be helpful by bringing my master's slippers to her, but they taste so good that I'd just rather chew on them all day. I love to chew on those feisty pillows in the living room, too. They just sit their all day long taunting me to play with them. It's not my fault when they start foaming this white fluffy stuff.

My all time favorite game is playing catch. I am pretty good at it. I can even jump up and catch the ball in my mouth. I love to run around and play hide and seek with the ball. And, sometimes I'll let my master try and take the ball out of my mouth. But, he almost never wins!

After a long day of play and fun, I love to sit on the cool hardwood floors and rest. I dream of eating doggie treats and playing outside with my favorite toy when I sleep. Sometimes I get scared of loud noises, but my master makes sure that I'm kept comfortable and safe. Yes, the life of a dog is the best ever!
