Truman's Tails
Hi. My name is Truman and I live in Hanover, Pa.
I am a 12 week-old brindle English Mastiff and I’ll be here from time to time telling stories about what it’s like to be me.
You might remember my older brother, Hoover. Well, he wasn’t really my brother but he was here before me. He died this year and then THEY got me. THEY were real sad when Hoover died and THEY needed me to make THEM happy again. Hoover was a Therapy Dog and he visited people in hospitals and nursing homes. THEY want me to be a Therapy Dog too and I want to be one. It sounds like fun. I like to make people smile and I like especially when they pet me and kiss me.
I started puppy classes with Miss Sandy this week. THEY said she was “definitely not Miss Michelle “ but she was a nice lady but she yelled at me. She put some cookies on the floor and told me to “leave it!” Well, I’m as curious as the next guy so I tried to sniff it. She said, “LEAVE IT!” I thought, what’s wrong with this lady? Is she nuts? She’s putting the stuff on the floor and then telling me to leave it. What’s up with that?! Then I thought maybe she’s talking another language and LEAVE IT means TAKE IT. So…I tried to take it and she yelled even louder at me to LEAVE IT! I thought okay, keep the damn thing! I don’t want it, so there! Then, she told me I was a good boy and gave me a treat!.....Go figure….
If you have a funny story to share email my mom here.
